I left this vet after 2 years. I had started to educate myself on things such as raw diet, holistic approaches to a dogs health, non invasive means of keeping my dogs teeth clean.
Dr Toole quoted me $900 for a dental for a 5lb dog that was two years old and had plaque on his top two back teeth or use some crap filled specialty medical food.
He also gives all vaccinations at the same time, hello, that doesn't even follow standard vaccination protocol.
A thing that truly bothered me was the way he put pull and snap my dogs legs checking for LP. Keep that up pal and of course he's gonna have LP. He even listed that my dogs LP has increased over two years. Can I say my dog actually doesn't have knee issues and he's now 4.
And feeding them with a constant barrage of liver treats can't be that good either. My dogs don't get that many treats in a week.
He may love animals, but I'm sorry it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more open minded and do some research. I had mentioned a couple of things to him and he'd actually never even heard of them.
I have moved on to a holistic vet I'm very happy with, have discovered healthy mouth, Leba III and Petzlife as options for teeth cleaning, oh and the raw diet, amazing what the chewing motion will do to clean a dogs teeth.
