My cat was treated there earlier this week with an abscess on his right side. He was given 15 ml Clavamox 1cc 12 hrs until finished. The improvement has been great called yesterday to get a refill on the prescription and they filled it and I picked it up at their place. The cost was $46.00. They had already mixed it up. So had 10 days to use it. Well I got up a few minutes ago and gave beau beau his warm compress. I was concerned about the price they had charged me and wondering if it was available for around the same price online. Well it certainly is and it was roughly half the cost of their 46.00 figure I had to pay.
This is of course highway robbery at best. Sad to see they feel they have to take me to the cleaners even after the 240.00 original vet bill. I will be hard pressed to go back there again trusting them to to be fair and honest in their treatment of my pets. I feel betrayed and taken advantage of and will make it a point to let our regular vet know about their ethics and price gouging practices.
Well after having posted this review I took the liberty of looking at the reviews others have left. Sad to say perhaps I should have read the reviews before we ever took any of our cats there. The first experience was fine. But now having had this most recent experience makes me question everything now. I can appreciate the owners attempts at damage control but the replies seem scripted at best. Not even sure if I should have accepted the prescription already opened and mixed. The cat pictured was Joe Joe he was 31 lbs and could hold a soft ball in his mouth and could clear a four foot chain link fence with stopping at the top
