I communicated to the techs that she is very skittish and has came from an abusive home. They either disregarded this remark or didn't have the necessary experience to understand the situation and handled her just as any dog. Due to this she did react negatively and bit a tech. They then came back and told me I was lucky that it didn't cause any bleeding otherwise they would've quarantined her at the pound. I am not sure how more clear I could be saying this dog came from an abused home and is skittish. She has never bitten anyone as long as I've had her but how my communication was disregarded and how she was handled escalated the situation unnecessarily which almost resulted the to quarantining my dog.

We have taken my first dog here for the past 2 years with no issues. However, whenever my partner…read moreand I got our puppy, things started to go downhill. We had her put in the daycare program this care center and one day when I picked her up, she was sneezing, coughing and had a runny nose. The daycare staff didn't mention anything to me and my other dog also quickly started sneezing and coughing. My puppy contracted kennel cough from either another infected dog or contaminated surface/object and brought it to my other dog from the daycare. They were both diagnosed with kennel cough here. Then in a recent visit about a few weeks ago, I believe it was a vet tech who asked me if I wanted to get bloodwork done on a general wellness visit on one of my dogs. I declined, saying that he needed to get it done anyway soon in another visit. She insisted on telling me it would be cheaper to do it now and kept pressing me on it. I said I'd think about it. When we went to the room with the Dr., I told her (the doctor) that I'd like to wait on his bloodwork because we'd have to do it again and I'd like less stress for him, even if it would be more expensive to wait. She looked at me and said it wouldn't be more expensive to wait, that it would cost the same. That blew my mind. I understand that mistakes happen, but that made me feel very uncomfortable. I've never had an experience like that here. And the final straw happened last week. I boarded both of our dogs there for the weekend for the first time. One of them came back just fine, but the other has had diarrhea for a week straight. My partner and I both called, he was told it didn't sound like it was an emergency because she had no other symptoms. He called again a day or so later and was told she should've been brought in. We came in and did not get a definitive answer other than it was probably the stress of the boarding. I was told the dogs had a great time. A week of pure liquid being sprayed out of the wrong end tells me otherwise. I asked the vet to do a fecal test on her to be safe, to which he agreed, but he did not do it. Now our other dog is also ill and having awful diarrhea. We also disclosed that she was in heat, which is unfortunate because she needs to be spayed. For this appointment we had a different Dr. He said he actually preferred animals to be in heat for a spay because it elongates their uterus. What he did not mention is that spaying while in heat is generally not recommended and poses severe health risks (such as excessive bleeding). I had received a second opinion from another vet and was informed of the risks. I would never put my puppy in a situation where her life could be at risk for a matter of convenience. For these reasons, we can no longer bring our pets here

On all 4-5 occasions, we were treated with respect and it was very evident that both doctors and their nursing staff CARE about their jobs and taking care of their clients and their animals. In the most recent case, Our dachshund came back from boarding at a vet that I was skeptical about. We were going on vacation with family who need boarding for their dogs so we took all animals to that vet for boarding. After a week of boarding, he came back with what we now know is a bacterial and fungal infection. We were given meds, there were tests taken and there was a diagnosis given that was accurate. A week later (today), the DOCTOR called back personally to inform us that the dog's samples from testing were sent off to a third party who confirmed the diagnosis. My wife was extremely impressed with this. We've been to 3 vets prior to Carson and were not satisfied. Carson is more than satisfactory; both doctors are professional. It's hard to describe their treatment of animals- it's better to just say that they care and will do whatever necessary to help your animal- WITHOUT charging you unfairly. Financially, there pricing for care is VERY competitive and extremely fair. Thanks, Doctors and Nurses at Carson! EDIT: After speaking with the boarding vet, their indifference toward our plight was very evident. We had no interest in taking our animal back over there. Carson rescued Murphy again.

It was a horrible experience when she ended up getting attacked by another dog... a huge chunk of skin missing, blood from other places... awful. We found the number to Lafayette Animal Emergency Clinic, and they said to bring her in right away. They got to her as soon as we got there and within 15 minutes, gave a solid examination and an estimate - always the moment of truth where your heart skips two beats: will she be okay and how much is it going to cost. The vet explained they'd need to install a drain to help flush out the deep wounds she incurred, and they'd also need to stitch up the open wounds where she was bitten - 4 areas. But they conveyed that she would be just fine. Then we braced for the cost - a little less than $450. I can't tell you how stunned I was at the reasonableness of the cost to get her fixed up (this happens to be the same sweet girl who broke her leg last Christmas to the tune of $3500.) The cost included pain-killers and antibiotics. We had to bring Sam back to the vet two more times - 4 days later to have the drain removed, and 10 days later to have the stitches removed. There was no charge for the follow-up visits, which made me love this place just a little bit more. The staff was friendly and extremely attentive, and were very patient and forgiving when Sam paid a little retribution by peeing and pooping on their floor while getting the drain removed. The hours for the emergency vet coincide for when most places are closed - 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. weeknights(ish), and all weekend. I am SO very thankful for this place and for its people. It's 2 1/2 weeks later, and Sam's as good as new - chasing her tail and throwing her toys around - with a little punk-rock hair-do!
