Review of Garden State Veterinary Specia...

Must read could save your DOG or Pets Life . My dog had a growth and he was licking it which made it bleed and kept licking it and wouldn t stop bleeding it was a Sunday so I decided to take him to the clinic.

When we arrived we were checked in Vador is a pitbull so they entered him very quickly into a room. when the doctor arrives . I explained to the vet what was going on. She did a complete examination of the dog and gave us an estimate for surgery. She told us it might be cancer and it was a good thing to have taken out.

The estimate was for $3500. I thought they were crazy because it was a small skin growth on the skin. They even recommended if it was cancer that it would additional. She explains there s not much that she can do tonight besides take them in the back clean the cut up put a collar so he can t get to it and then we would have to decide if we want to book the surgery.
At that time we were asked to wait in the waiting room and they had taken the dog to the back to clean him up and to put the cone collar on him as I was told. When they came back out she had stated that she had given him a shot for nausea I explained that I didn t ask for any shot for nausea and the shot for nausea was over $150. When we omitted I stated that the dog threw up one time in 72 hours from licking the blood all the time this dog was not nauseous. I also explained if you take a dog and tell the owner of the dog that you re going to clean him up and fit him for a cone collar that s all that should have been done. How dare them take the dog tell you that they are going to clean up the cut and put a cone on him and then give him a shot for nausea which the dog wasn t even nauseous.

I have come to find out it s the way they pad the bill, I looked up the shot and you could buy a 50 mL bottle of this which they only administered up to 3 mL.. The 50 mL bottle cost $50 they charge me $150 for 3 mL out of the 50ml bottle.
How dare them !! Take and administer drugs without the owners authorization.

Now here the kicker of the whole ordeal. I went to Barnegat Animal clinic that Monday. The vet looked at it said it was a very easy surgery and gave me an estimate for $585.00 to $ 625.00 a low to high scenario. What that is a fraction of the cost of Garden state animal specialists.

I had the surgery that Wednesday it was $600.00 total with the biopsy. Garden State animal hospital wanted to charge me $ 500 just for the biopsy. The biopsy came back as cancerous they cut enough of the tissue back when they cut out the growth that they went back to healthy tissue and they cut out all the cancer he goes back for a blood test but the ordeal is over and it was a fraction of the cost.

So please don t take the words of Garden state animal specialists HIGH PRICED make sure you go to your regular vet and go see a couple of vets before you make any decisions on your animal. Don t let these people force you to put this animal down with there prices. Prices are very very HIGH there are alternatives !!!! Bottom line Garden State Animal Hospital $3500.00, Barnegat Animal clinic 600.00.

How is that even possible !!! Beware Beware !!!! I have both estimates I will post !!
