01 April 2026 (NO! This isn't an April fool's joke.) When I tell you- If there were an option to…read moreleave a negative zero-star review, I absolutely would! This experience was beyond unacceptable--it was alarming. If you are considering bringing your puppy here for ear posting, please think again!! We looked this place up online, after being referred. This is the last place I would trust--not even for a stray animal I would allow to have service here! What I saw looked like a beginner craft project done by a toddler, not a professional veterinary procedure. The backer rod wasn't secured properly, the top of the ear tip was left unsupported, and the so-called "bridge" was nothing more than a flimsy strip of tape. It was completely inadequate. After leaving, my husband sent me photos from outside, and I genuinely thought he was joking--thinking he had done the posting 'before' the appointment, showing me he tried...He hadn't. This was the doctor's work!!! I immediately called to express my concerns, the receptionist dismissed me, saying people travel from all over the U.S. and that this is how they've "always" done it. That is not reassuring--it's deeply concerning people accept & trust such crappy doing. When the doctor got on the phone, things only got worse. I explained that the posting was already leaning, and her response was that my husband might need to add more tape himself. That is unacceptable and horrible! We came to professionals for proper care--not to fix their work afterward. When I asked why the ear tip wasn't secured correctly, she interrupted me and told me if I could "be quiet" and listen. WHAT!!! That level of disrespect is shocking and will not be tolerated by me. Instead of listening, she became defensive and dismissive. To make matters even more disturbing, she suggested my husband to cut part of my puppy's ears because they were "too long"--despite the fact that they are the long crop by design. Seriously??? That suggestion alone is completely inappropriate and alarming! This was our first and last visit. We were soooo busy with business meetings, and no time to drive to NOLA. We will go out of our way--no matter how far or inconvenient--to seek care. CLEARLY, this place isn't it! I'm concerned that people who go here and receive this type of work think it's "professional" and "good work"!? Maybe that just don't know or have experience REALLY professional vet work/care. Please take this as a serious warning: keep your pets far away from this place! After our meeting we stopped at a park to REDO the posting ourself!!! See the pics posted of what the "Dr." did (awful), and the posting we completed in a nearby park, at a bench! because Again - he "attempted posting was absolutely HORRIBLE and making my baby's ears WORSE & FOLDED over his hear! Ughhh!!! Still ticked!!!

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.

At his facility, I know all of my pets are in safe, caring and capable hands no matter what kind of problem my pet is having. Take the time to check out his hospital. You will love Dr. Anderson and his staff! Before I came to Dr. Anderson, I took my first weim Groovy to a different vet whose name I won't mention. I showed him a lump on Groovy and he examined it and said, "come back tomorrow and I will remove it for $50." I asked how will I find out what it is. This vet from ANOTHER hospital told me that I could go to a different vet and they would probably charge me a lot more to send off to get histopath results, but if I wanted it removed, come back tomorrow. A few days later, I visited Dr. Anderson. I arranged to have the lump removed and he would send it off to find out what it was. Yes, this cost more than $50, but here's where it gets interesting. During surgery, Dr. Anderson found another lump that I had not seen and he removed that one too. He sent both of them off to find out what they were. I later found out that each lump was a different kind of cancer. With Dr. Anderson's help, Groovy was treated for both kinds of cancer and lived an additional 5 years. Thank goodness for Dr. Anderson. If I had listened to the other vet, Groovy would have been dead years sooner. The moral of this story is you get what you pay for, and if you are looking for the cheapest vet, please don't always expect that vet to be the best vet.
