After my dog started peeing all over our new apartment I knew it was time to get him fixed. I looked around at low cost clinics and after reading the reviews I was terrified to take him to any of them. So I started calling vets and found the prices were way too high and I felt stuck. I found a clinic online called 101 spay and neuter clinic that would charge $89. I called and made an appointment and thats when they told me the procedure would take place at Aztec. My husband dropped my dog off this morning (alone, I worked until past midnight and was still sleeping) and when he dropped our dog off they suggested a blood screening to make sure the neuter would be okay. Which, at first I was completely for even at $40 extra, I love my dog and wanted to make sure he would be okay. When they called at around 1pm (we dropped him off around 730am) to tell me he had an ear infection and it would be another $30 dollars for the medicine, which again was fine, whatever he needs to be fine. When I went to get him it was clean inside and didn't smell like vets normally do, the receptionist quickly asked me what I needed and when I without thinking said "I'm here to pick up my baby!" She snapped back and said "who is your baby?" With a bad attitude. As soon as I told her his name she immediately told me how much it would be (over $170 for everything) and put her hand out. She was rude and made me feel like I was bothering her. The vet tech that actually talked to me in the room was super helpful and answered all the questions I had. He was kind of loopy and still hasn't figured out how to walk around with the cone on but overall he seems fine. The only real complaints I have are the up charges, the rude front desk woman, and the fact that I couldn't meet the doctor because he was "on the phone".
Although I don't know if I would take him there regularly because I would like a little bit more of a relationship with my vet, I would recommend going to get your pet fixed. Although its a little more expensive, it beats going to cheap route and your pet ending up with infection or worse!
