I'm grateful for having access to a full service veterinary specialty facility that offers ER services when needed. I believe they are well staffed with educated doctors. I also believe that the modernization of and availability of medical technology forces owners into an emotional and ethical financial conundrum. We love our pets, but whether or not we have the thousands it may take to keep them alive is a very sensitive and pressing issue. One should not be shamed or pressed to spend money they do not have to spend on keeping an animal alive... the doctors may want to save all lives at all costs, but the owners need to be made to feel comfortable with the decisions they make without any pressure. The care you receive here will rival any human care you may incur ~ and at the same cost.

After receiving effective care, they sent my animal who was in congestive heart failure home without crossing their I's and dotting their T's ~ I was not supplied with the critical meds they prescribed to regulate her condition until I could get to my regular vet. My discharge papers gave specific instructions to five the med, but it was never included in our discharge. Had we not caught it, who knows what the outcome may have been. My point is, they advertise and charge for exceptional care but I really don't feel that's what I got. During covid, we were not allowed in the building. That's fine ~ so they charge me upwards of a 100 per hour to monitor my animal with a tech but they're just too busy to send a video of my animal so that I can personally assess her? Over 20 hours, through the dead of night, no one could shoot me a video? My sense is this: this is a top notch professional veterinary facility that has a strong corporate model driving its decisions for your pet that will ultimately be financially beneficial to them. If you want to keep your beloved pet alive at all costs, they can probably be of great service. If you live with and love your pet with the understanding that it's your promise to keep them well and not suffering, I think this place my aim to sway your simple promise by being overly optimistic about the potential effects of their very costly "medical intervention." Don't be afraid to love your pet to death ~ literally. It's the hardest part about being human and I bet most of us hope someone with sense will help us make hard decisions when the time comes. Peace out ~ I wish you many loving days with your fur or feather babies.
