I had a horrible and heartbreaking experience with this place. I brought my 14 year old dog there on a Tuesday afternoon upon the recommendation of my veterinarian. He started vomiting and was very lethargic a few days after having a dental cleaning at my veterinarian's office the previous Thursday. Up until the dental cleaning he was the picture of health. Within a few days he became very ill and I took him right away to the veterinary clinic where he had gone his entire life. After a full day at the vet's office he was not responding well to the fluids and drugs they gave him and they decided he needed 24 hour care and referred him to VetMed. VetMed wanted $750 immediately and then made us sign a bill for another $2500 and said they would be doing an ultrasound to determine what was wrong. Then the next day we got the bad news that he had an abscess on his liver which they were going to treat with drugs. On Thursday he was not responding to the drugs and wanted him to have surgery to remove the abscess and my husband had to go there and give them another $4,000. They performed the surgery on Thursday and by Friday he was not breathing on his own and passed away of a heart attack on Friday. They called my husband to tell him the bad news on Friday. I never received a call from the place telling me how sorry they were and never heard a thing from them. Today a week later someone from their office left a message in a very cheerful voice telling me my dog was ready to be picked up. Of course they were referring to his ashes. This has been the most distressing and heartbreaking thing I have gone through since the death of my mother from a brain tumor. I feel this place takes advantage of people when they know they will do anything for their pet.
