| - I am so very upset with my visits here. I adopted a dog from the shelter and he came with a free vet visit, I brought him in and pointed out that he was coughing. The vet said that she thought he was getting over an upper respiratory infection and didn't need medication, and then gave me an $800 dental estimate because he had some plaque on his teeth (he's 2), and a $200 estimate for shots that she said he needed even though they just told me at the shelter he was good for a year. A few weeks go by and he's still coughing so I make an appointment to come back again, this time she says he has kennel cough, I explained to her that he never quit coughing this whole time! Again with the estimates, this one for 300 for shots the shelter said he didn't need, and fecal samples, etc. At least they let off the dental this time, maybe because I had a $10 gel treatment done that solved the problem. So now it's time for the bill... they want to charge me $50 for the visit, $50 for the antibiotics, and $30 for an anti inflammatory. They're charging more than my meds cost without insurance! I explained that he was still sick from the first time I brought him in and I shouldn't have to pay $50 for a vet visit when she failed to diagnose him the first time, they took $10 bucks off, that was all they would do. Now it's a week later and the dog is still coughing. I'll take him back to my regular vet across town thank you, they're vets there, not sales people. This is quite the racket they have going. Adopt a $25 pet with a "free" vet visit and get quoted for $1000 in stuff you don't need while they fail to diagnose and fix the problems the animal actually does have! Never going back.
