I took my kitty Cindy to the Tri-City VCA today for her wellness exam after coming out of the animal shelter. I was immediately impressed with the fact that they separate dog and cat intakes. There are two different entrances on different sides of the clinic. Both times when I spoke on the phone with the receptionist, she was super friendly. The exam rooms are small, but clean and uncluttered. The staff was very friendly and calm.
I can't say much about the cost because the visit was included in my adoption from the Humane Society Campus for Compassion. I felt very informed about everything they did with Cindy. They offered me additional services that I did end up taking them up on for a low cost, but I didn't feel pressure from them. I paid 17 for an oral de-worming and 20 for a rabies vaccination. I don't have experience with whether or not that's high or low, but I thought it sounded reasonable.
Dr. Lucy was also very friendly, calm, and patient with all of my questions. From what I've read, people often have issues with the way the staff rushes animals in and out and I didn't have that experience here. Like I said, the facility and the staff were very calm and friendly. I would come back to this hospital.
