| - I came here because of Clayton K.'s review, who says he has a 'bad dog.' I too have a bad dog, and 'bad' doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. My dog is extremely anxious and fear-aggressive around strangers, so it is a huge ordeal to take him anywhere in public. The vet is a particularly tough situation. Whenever I have to go, all I hope for is that he can get a basic exam and required shots without getting us banned from the office. That being said, I am responsible and I realize what my dog is capable of, so I muzzle him and take appropriate measures to deal with him.
Although we had an issue in the waiting room with one patron who tried to touch my dog, and another patron who yelled at me to 'discipline my dog,' I'd have to say my experience here was positive. The office was clean and nice, the staff was understanding (if not a bit wary, natrually) and the Dr. seemed very caring and patient. She came in to speak with me and took ample time to discuss both his general health and fear/aggression issues, and said she would recommend a veterinary behaviorist to help with my situation. She said that she appreciated that I was responsible enough to realize that he has problems and to muzzle him, and that I was welcome to come back, which I *really* appreciated. Additionally, the price was very reasonable. It's very nice to know I have a place to take my dog to get the care he needs without being made to feel like a bad pet owner. I will definitely return.
