The receptionist ignored him and when he checked out the total was $280! He recently lost his job and said he could pay $140 and the rest later. He was told if you don't pay the remainder AND her boarding fees for Easter by Friday, we're cancelling her reservation! These people are rude and greedy. We've been going here a while and tried to overlook things but this is it! Never again. I do however HIGHLY RECOMMEND Animal Care Hospital in Long Beach!!!

I took my pup to Beatline Oaks for his yearly checkup today; really, it had only been six months…read moresince his last exam, but he was due for two vaccines and I had just exhausted his supply of heartworm medication. His previous medical had been handled by a different vet before I moved across state lines, so I made sure to get his full records from them, and brought them to his appointment. When I arrived, they weighed my pup, then took us to the exam room where I could fill out paperwork. I handed the nurse his records (including very clear shot records) and set about filling things out. After a bit, one of the nurses came in to say that my dog had never received the canine influenza vaccine, and asked if I wanted to get that today with a follow-up in three weeks. I was uncertain about her request (it seemed off) and declined for the time being. When they brought back his paperwork, I looked through it again, and pointed out that he had definitely received a shot for CIV previously, at which point the nurse ran off with the paperwork again. When she came back in, it was for the physical examination with the doctor (who seemed nice enough), and by the time the paperwork was brought back, I was already helping to soothe my pup, so it was placed off to the side and temporarily forgotten. They brought in the vaccines, said which was which, and as I was a bit focused on my dog, I didn't fully notice when they said they were giving him a rabies vaccination. You see, in the medical paperwork, it clearly stated that he received the 3 year rabies vaccination within the last year, and when I got home and reviewed the new paperwork, it said they gave him a new 1 year vacc. I freaked out a bit and did some research, leading me to find that there's not actually a difference in the formula or dosage, simply in the label on the bottle itself, so there was no actual risk, but I was terrified for a bit that he had been given too much. Speaking of research! While I was there, they strongly recommended ProHeart 6 to me. I asked the differences between that and his usual (HeartGard), and they said the only differences are that you only have to get it once every six months, and it's the same cost and totally easier! I declined for the time being, as I knew nothing about it, and they handed me a pamphlet to read. The pamphlet included a list of potential side effects, which I commented on. They assured me the only side effects are rare allergic reactions and it's definitely nothing to worry about. After I finished researching the rabies vacc (while at home), I decided to look into ProHeart 6. The first few articles I found were about how it was taken off the market in 2004 due to a large number of canine deaths from it. It was rereleased with strict requirements in 2008 - a certified vet had to administer the dose, an "informed consent" waiver had to be signed, and it was generally advised not to administer it alongside other vaccinations at the risk of severe adverse reactions. All of this would have been nice to know when it was offered, or at least when I directly asked. While nothing terrible happened today, I did still pay for an unnecessary vaccination, and if I were a bit more trusting, I might have put my dog in a potentially dangerous health situation. It's safe to say that I will absolutely not return to Beatline Oaks.

I called at noon and Dr Saunders was at my door at 3:00. Wonderful to work with and no stress on the dogs as they are already comfy in their own home. I also know what so many are thinking, I can't afford a vet to come to my house. Oh yes you can. Dr Saunders visit was cheaper then any vet appointment we have ever had. I was willing to pay so much more just for the convenience's of having a home visit and ended up I paid less then I normally would at the other offices I have been to. What do my dogs think? 4 paws up and a roo of approval

Our regular vet was busy so they referred us to pelican bay, when my mom called the woman was rude and told her they only serve existing customers even though they're listed as a mobile vet. My mom said she understood and could they refer her to anyone else. They told her no and it wasn't their problem. Now I don't know about how anyone else feels about this but to me a vet should have some sort of compassion to pet parents, especially facing what my mom was facing. I wouldn't recommend these heartless people to anyone.
