| - I just had to update with another 5 star experience. The reasons?
- My dog DRAGGED me into the clinic. He runs behind the desk and into the back to greet the techs. He wags his tail and presents his butt for scratches to the doctor. I've never had a dog be happy to go to the vet.
- Our trip to Adobe was because my genius dog ate a glass ornament, so I rushed in with no appointment. Dr. Newland was just finishing a surgery and came right out to take care of us within 10 minutes.
- This qualified to me as "emergency", and nobody panicked. They actually teased him instead and now refer to him as "Glass Eater". This made me laugh a little and was much appreciated, as I was having panicky thoughts of $2000 surgery racing through my head, never mind the idea of losing my dog.
- Dr. Newland remembered me and things we had chatted about 2 months ago, as well as thanked me for my Yelp review. Awww, thanks! I love how much they know and remember all their clients here.
They ran an x-ray and turns out my dog wasn't really intending to EAT the glass, but he did chew up and swallow a few tiny shards. Luckily, they were so tiny that they were already passing right through. Again, Dr. Newland gave me some very low-key, common sense advice - feed him bland food and bread, Pepcid so he won't vomit glass back up, no hard playing so he doesn't get any stray shards slammed into his intestine walls... you get the drift. Again, at most other vets I've seen, I'd be leaving with a bunch of unnecessary medications.
I'm just gonna give them a permanent 5 stars, cause I don't see anything changing any time soon :)
