I cannot thank Dr. Parrish and the staff at VVC enough. You made Dixie's end of life not only easy for us, but for her. It was seem less and pain free, exactly what she deserved. Every appointment we've had has been met with professionalism, and a helpful, caring staff. We appreciate each and everyone of you and we will continue to bring our two cats as needed. read more

Village Veterinary Care - A dog named Dixie - Veterinarians Near Me - Pataskala, Ohio

Granville location is what I'm reviewing. I love the staff at the Pataskala facility. I felt like the Dr was talking down to me and wanted to find ways to sell my animals things that weren't needed. For 6 years I've used the Pataskala location. Due to my own schedule I decided to book with Granville. I won't again. My animals have always gotten flea and tick medication for the summer months. Nobody has ever advised me to do it year round. The Dr today was very insistent that I should do it year round. I declined. Both pets were rescue animals. We knew nothing of their medical history. First exam years ago in one of the dogs Lyme disease was detected. Simple test a few days of pills and that was that. I know that animals will test positive the rest of their lives once they get it. The Granville location wanted me to do a Lyme disease vaccine. I asked a few questions. I was told it was new and not all locations have it available. I'm straight up calling the Dr a liar. A Lyme disease vaccine for dogs has been around since the 90's. Due to symptoms my dogs was displaying I specifically did ask them to do an advanced blood test. If the number is so high then I will get some meds. The part that really upset me was when he knew I was concerned with arthritis in one of the animals. He walked her and said yep her gate has changed. She is favoring her left side. I thought to myself you've never even seen this dog and you know her gate. If he would have looked a little closer he would have noticed one of her claws got ripped out a week ago. I was going to get her arthritis meds regardless of what he said. He didn't have to sell me on it but he couldn't help himself. Just a very bad experience. It started the moment I walked in. The first question a service provider typically asks is "How is your day" not do you take your dogs to get groomed. They wanted to sell the kennel cough vaccine. I purposely talked in circles to see what point she was trying to make. The receptionist has three jobs. Say hello, dispense meds, and take the money. She forgot to put all the meds in the bag. Honest mistake and called the pataskala location for me to go in and pick up. If it weren't for her I would have given one star read more

Haven't had a great experience here. Our dog has allergies that are well documented along with recurrent skin infections. Each time we took him to this vet, our concerns about how to prevent this from recurring in the future were ignored, in favor of putting our dog on antibiotics repeatedly, something we weren't comfortable with. This clinic had zero interest in discussing a proactive approach. We increasingly felt as if our dog was not properly cared for, and we were just expected to continually bring him in and spend $200 every 3 months, an exorbitant amount to take care of an issue as minor as allergies. The final straw that has led to us finding a new vet was multiple extremely rude phone calls with the receptionist (not the first time we've been treated unprofessionally by the reception at this office) where we were accused of being "non-compliant" and not bringing our dog in for a followup appointment we supposedly agreed to schedule. Neither my husband or I recall agreeing to schedule a followup appointment during the last visit (which cost $200+). Seems odd that this vet expected us to spend $200+ and then schedule a followup 14 days later.....how much more would that have cost? Not to mention that was not discussed in the plan of care. I never would have agreed to that - and now they are withholding my dog's medicine until we spend another $200 to bring him in again!!! My husband and I both proceeded to be attacked by the receptionist when it was determined that the vet prescribed pills to us under a DIFFERENT DOG's name, which the receptionist blamed us for. Not sure how a business putting our info under the wrong name is the customer's fault. This then created a problem when according to the chart, we were told that we agreed to this followup appointment (false)......how can it be determined anything is accurate when you can't even get my name right? We take better care of our dog than anyone I know. We constantly take him to the vet whenever he has an issue, and spend a lot of money on his care, medicine, special food, etc. And yet, we were literally treated as if we beat and starve our dog and are horrible dog parents because we think it's unreasonable to continually bring him in for the same issue. As a human being with much bigger health issues than allergies, I see my doctor less than this vet expects to be paid to see my dog. And from what we can tell, that is the key. Visits = money. It has been made very clear to us that this issue isn't about our dog's health, it is about trying to back us into a corner where we are forced to come in every 3 months to get medicine to adequately care for our dog. Don't bother being a patient at this clinic unless you want to continually throw cash at this place, and be treated like a criminal when you question anything. read more

We have seen Dr. Rice at the Granville location and found her to be very unprofessional and lack the bedside manner any good vet should have. read more

We have taken our family's pets, both dogs & cats, to see Dr. Rice for about 8 years now and have always been pleased with the care she and her staff provide. She focuses on the needs of your pet and does not push procedures and tests that are unnecessary. On the few occasions where our dogs have needed specialized care, she was very helpful to us with recommendations, as well as coordinating with the specialist for after care. We recommend her and her team without reservation. read more

I'm never one to post a bad review, but this review is for the granville location. I've always gone to the Pataskala one but they couldn't fit me in for months in advanced so they sent me here. My first impression was when I walked in, not a single person greeted me or even acknowledged that I had come in. There was several people at the desk. Finally when I had said something the lady interrupted me and told me to have a seat very rudely. We went in for a broken nail on my Shepard who is very calm and well behaved. After looking at him they asked if I wanted them to clip the rest of his nails and I said yes. The second nail in they started cutting him one after another. Almost every single nail got cut too short. There was blood gushing everywhere and when my dog started to cry and yell they told him to calm down and asked me to hold him. You would think a veterinarian would know how to trim nails but in this case we went in for a broken nail to get antibiotics to avoid infection and ended up with many nails cut WAY too short and a horrifying experience for me and my fur baby. read more

Been taking all my Fur Children here for years. The staff is always friendly and the Vet does a great job! Never had a single problem and I can always get in within a decent time frame. I have recommended them to anyone that asks in the area. read more

VVC diagnosed my dog with kidney disease and recommended special dog food to help prolong my dogs life. I purchased some of the food from the vets office knowing it would be expensive. I compared prices online since I would be purchasing this for quite a while. One company saved me $30 but needed authorization from the vet. They refused to give authorization !! When I called to find out why, I was told I had to purchase from them and they would not give me a prescription. I just paid them over $800 for three dogs well visits and blood work but that was not enough. Now I cannot purchase this food unless I take my dog somewhere else to be checked and they would give me a script, which I will do before ever going back to VVC. Vets should be legally obligated to provide a prescription when we pay for the diagnosis and recommendation. How quickly they forget the oath they took in school to use their skills for the protection of animal health and relief of animal suffering. The need to make another sale has overridden their moral compass. read more

Village Vet has been my animal care resource since moving to Pataskala nearly 20 years ago. I have had dozens and dozens of cats and a few dogs tended there over the years. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and go the extra mile whenever needed. Without their incredible help, my dog would not be alive today. I am a total fan, and so is my dog! read more

Took my 2 dogs in for nail trimming. One had been there once before the other was a first visit. Receptionist greeted dogs on their level. They were on harness'. We were taken to a small room. My older dog (almost 6yrs) was upset over life-like stickers above the door and on the table level. Vet tech came in followed by Vet. Tech greeted dogs but as my younger dog (almost 2yrs) jumped to lick, she took it as an attempt to bite. My dog was muzzled, her nails were trimmed quickly. The older dog was placed on the table and began growling when the Vet moved out of eye-sight. I moved to my dog's head and rubbed his muzzle to calm him. I was quickly told not to cause the Vet was liable if I got bit. I said ok, but argued that i was more worried about my dog biting her cause he couldnt see her. She said that's fine and stopped and asked me to leave. Very poor people skills and lack of behavior training of how to act around a unknown dog. Very unsatisfied with treatment and lack of ability to listen to me, the owner. read more

Found vet rude when we did not want to get additional tests on dog. There was no guarantee from the results anyway. Will be looking for a new home. read more

They take wonderful care of their patients. I've been going here for years and the staff is wonderful, smart, and you can tell they love animals. A really great establishment. read more

Last August I was new to Pataskala and needed to find a vet. I chose Village Veterinary Care because it was closest to me. For the past seven years I had always taken my three cats to the Spay & Neuter Clinic on Sawbury Rd in Dublin for their annual shots and paid $90. I fully expected to pay a little more since this was a full veterinary practice, but not $320, which I thought was way excessive. Anyway, I was just glad to have it done for the year and happy to not have to have driven to Dublin. When I arrived home and let my cats out of their carriers, however, I immediately noticed that two of my cats were dragging their back legs, something that I had never seen them do before. I called Dr Rice immediately and told her what was going on. She expressed zero concern for my cats but instead immediately became defensive advising me that she only uses the highest quality vaccines with the least side effects. She said to just give it a little time, that they were probably just stressed from the car ride and doctor appt. Well, 48 hours later they were still dragging their legs and wincing when I touched their hind quarters. So I drove them all the way back to my old vet in Dublin who examined them and, very diplomatically, explained that they "appeared" to have been injected in a site where you wouldn't ordinarily inject and that they were suffering some pretty significant inflammation and pain as a result. In other words, Dr. Rice doesn't know what she's doing. He gave them both cortisone shots and told me I should see improvement within the week. Total bill: $233.50. Seventy-two hours later, one cat was fine, the other was still dragging and seemed lethargic (not sure if it was from the cortisone or fatigue from dragging his leg around all the time). I again contacted my old vet who told me to come in and pick up some oral prednisone, which meant another trip to Dublin. The prednisone was cheap; I think he only charged me like $8.00. Nevertheless, bottom line grand total: $561.50 + seven hours of my time for annual shots for my cats with Dr. Rice. And then there's the whole flea medication thing. I paid Dr. Rice $150 for three doses of Bravecto. When I went to apply it, though, I noticed that the boxes indicated it was only for cats up to 13.8 lbs. All of my cats weight more than that, so I contacted their office thinking this was an honest mistake on the part of the staff. Nope. I was advised that that was the only size they carried. When I asked them why they would sell me a dosage that was not right for my cats, I was told that Dr. Rice thought it would work anyway. Basically, they sold me what they had on their shelf with the hope I wouldn't notice it was the wrong dosage. I have a small but helpful clue for Dr. Rice: YOUR CUSTOMERS WANT THE CORRECT DOSAGE OF MEDICATION FOR THEIR ANIMALS, NOT THE DOSAGE THAT MAKES YOU MONEY. They did give me my money back and wrote a prescription for 1-800-Pet-Meds, but now this year they won't do the same until I bring one of my cats in for an office visit to be weighed. Right. I'm going to pay this woman another $100+ to weigh my cat. Apparently, Dr. Rice won't do ANYTHING unless she gets a cut of the action. Dr. Rice's self interest way eclipses any interest she may have in the well being of animals. Her business practices are highly questionable and she grossly overcharges. I have no confidence in her competence with cats, and her personality is rather abrasive. She makes no effort whatsoever to make you feel like an appreciated customer. And, most importantly, she hurt my cats. Find someone else! read more

The staff at Village Veterinary Care were WONDERFUL!! They got our kitty, Love, taken care of right away. Their professionalism and compassion are second to none! Pricing for care is also more than reasonable. This was our first trip to Village Veterinary Care and we will definitely be back for the rest of our "kitty family" and any medical needs. read more

Wonderful expert care! I have taken all my pets to Village Vet for over ten years. When I moved, I attempted to take a barn cat to a closer vet. That business stunk of urine; I gladly drive the extra couple miles. They have responded quickly to emergency trips and cleared up an eye infection that went on for months under a previous doctor. They are sensible when it comes to how far you want to treat a stray versus a pedigree. Caring, compassionate! read more
