My cat of 17 yrs. (16 yrs and 4 months) had been declining and over the past few months quite…read morerapidly. She had stopped using her litter box and going all over the house ( not like her at all ), she was confused and would become lost in our own home. She cried at night, almost every night and would stop when I called out to her and heard my voice. She cried during the day as well. She stopped wanting to go outside and completely stopped grooming. Sadly I knew her quality of life wasn't of quality at all. It was with great sadness and deliberation I booked an appointment to have her put down. It was heart wrenching and a difficult call to make. I also knew taking her in for a "check up" wasn't going to make everything better, due to her age and large changes in her behavior. At that time of booking I explained the purpose of my call. At no time did anyone at reception say what I could expect at the appointment or the costs associated with the procedure. It ended up being the most traumatic and devastating experience I've had as pet owner. I never want another person to go though what we experienced. Firstly, I came in hours before the apt to pick up a carrier as I didn't want to leave with an empty one and knew I would be grieving. At the actual apt the doctor came in and asked why I was there?? Wide eyed and with tears I said to have my cat put down. She then ask why? I went on to explain all the reasons I felt it was the right thing to do. She asked if I would be willing to do a blood panel, to see if medications or at home care would be considered. I knew in my heart my girl was tired and suffering, by this time was crying so hard my friend had to speak for me to reiterate my wishes. The room was tense and stressful. The doctor then sent in another person to talk about my pets remains and what I wanted to do with them?? Decisions that should have been discussed prior. I have never put an animal down before. I was shaking and crying asking what the costs were so I could make an informed decision ( while distraught ) She said, "Oh you want to know the costs??". Another person ( a 3rd ) came it to talk about costs. She then looked at my cat and said, " She still looks bright" ... Looking at my cat for a few seconds. She then said, "We just want to make sure this is what you want." Want I want? Of course it's not what I want..... My decision is what I feel is best for my animal that I know and love. The apt. was just horrific, these people are not trained in how to provide options without disrespecting or shaming the pet owner. My cat was stressed, I was hysterical. The whole event was so traumatic, I have not slept in 3 days and continue to relive the entire chain of events in my mind. Please never take your beloved animal to this clinic. Its certainly not the same lovely privately owned clinic it use to be.

I decided to try a new vet closer as they offered a free first visit online…read more They charged me and said it was because my dog wasn't healthy. Yet they never called like they said to see if he was ok. I had to get treatment elsewhere, to help my dog! Very disappointed that they did not care that im on a disability and can't afford much. Then they argue the advertisement they have online. The least they could of done was to call like they said they would to see if my dog was better, since I paid a ridiculous price! Pets are important to people's lives. Especially those suffering from trauma! Sad that these kind of buissness's only care about the money!
