Save money, save time, and make a life long friend...

Save money, save time, and make a life long friend by going to Dr. Thomas. Last time we were in his office, we met a girl in the waiting room, who drove from Santa Barbara w her dog, after going to multiple other vets, because Dr. Thomas is "the best." I'll tell you why you should go to him if you have any doubts at all.

A few months back we were sitting in the ER of Conejo Valley Vet in Westlake, with all the machinery and equipment at their disposal, and what the guy (wasn't really fond of him and he didn't really seem to care about Dewey at all) told us was: I can't tell you anything without running $1,000 in tests. It was a Saturday morning at 5am and Dewey was struggling. We decided to drive further to Dr. Thomas on Monday because we trust him. We brought Dewey to Dr. Thomas, and within a minute he pointed out he was dehydrated and it looked like his kidneys. He ran the blood work for a fraction of what we were quoted at Conejo Vet... Dr. Thomas was spot on. While it was not likely he would make it after seeing the numbers on the blood work, Dr. Thomas gave us a fighting chance. We have peace knowing we did everything we possibly could. We got to spend the last few weeks with our best friend fighting the infection to see if we could heal his kidneys. When the infection cleared, we realized he was still in pain and he kidneys were failing beyond help. At the equivalent of a 90 yr old man, we had to let him go. It took me a few weeks to write this because Dewey was such a great companion to my entire family, especially to my girlfriend Olivia who took him for walks every day and spent hours at the park with him and her other dog friends.

We might have let it go further than we should with Dewey because we love him so much and he eventually had a seizure in my arms the morning before he went. Dr. Thomas let us do everything we possibly could before we accepted it was his time. His kidneys were causing him to vomit and not retain any water as well as extreme pain. It was so hard to watch him suffer.

Only a true animal lover will understand the desire to hold onto your best friend and do everything you possibly can, but instead of worrying about money and a business, Dr. Thomas helped us focus on what was important, and we were able to do that with him. I can't thank him enough and we are so grateful for the team at Pet Headquarters.
