They are all polite and carrying people but the bottom line is they are all in it for the money factory. Pull on your heart strings and manipulate your love of your pet.

Our last dog had cancer and they convinced us to have surgery, mind you $8500. Our girl was put through that trauma and then passed away after all clear diagnosis by them three months later. Same ending for her w/o the surgery and trauma.

Currently our last girl hurt herself and I couldn't stand to see her in pain, shaking and crying, so again I took her to the ER. Diagnosed her with a severe soft tissue injury. Pain pills and sedative and stated to return in 5-7 days if no significant improvement. So thinking its my fault for not asking but you all know how relieved you are after not hearing worse than could have been. No anti-inflammatory, no subtle bracing, just come back for further consult in time. Hence, money machine. Everything I've read and consulted a friend of ours who is a vet, soft tissue injuries need at least 14 days for healing and then take it easy with further exercise. They didn't even think that far ahead, just come back in a much to early recommendation.

We know we all love our pets but this place is simply a money sucking bunch of specialists sucking and pulling on our pet owners emotions. If at all possible stick to your neighborhood vet. Unfortunately if it's an emergency they have you by your heart strings.
