Let me start off by saying: my furry feline compatriot and I had a way better experience here than I expected to have with a vet clinic and All-Pets Hospital, despite the drab name, made it so. I am ever thankful to the staff who helped me, Dr. Berge, Heidi, and Jasmine.
My story starts with a kitten that was found outside, an associate of mine found a litter and I was lucky to meet a wonderful female domestic long-hair (I now know this thanks to the staff) with a coat of greens and browns, blacks and whites, that, while very common in domestic cat coloring, is still wayyy cool to look at. Plus, she is just the cutest. She was weaned a bit early when I adopted her, but she is outgoing and made my house her kingdom. When I got her, she had a slight eye infection that I thought would clear up by itself. So I made an appointment with the ARL for her shots (because it's cheap and they do a good job with their vaccines and microchips) the appointment wasn't for a few weeks and I thought she could wait until then. (Little did I know). I came home from work and her eye was red, swollen, and sealed shut from her infection and the poor girl looked miserable. I ended up calling 3 different vet clinics/hospitals near me, all during their work hours, multiple times, yet not one of them picked up the phone -- 5-10 rings, then voicemail. This was not what All-Pets Hospital did though, the fantabulous Jasmine picked up the phone before I even heard a ring (no joke!), finally someone can help my kitten. Jasmine got me the next available appointment -- 30 minutes from then, quick quick quick. I load up my precious cargo and head over to be immediately seen by Heidi who plays with my kitten and answers all of my questions, including the two biggest ones: 1) Is she going to be ok, (yes, she is, thank you All-Pets), and 2) How much will this set me back financially ($~70 for the appointment, and $25 for her eye drops. Which the wonderful Jasmine already let me know on the phone earlier). Good, about the standard for Vets in the area.
Then the hero stepped in very soon after that, again, quick! This staff must have superhuman speed! Dr. Berge not only diagnosed and helped cure the eye infection, she also found ear mites, that she ended up cleaning from my Kitten's ear for free. That is right, gratis. She knew that I might not be the most financially secure, so she let me know many options of care before, and tried to save me money, while answering every mundane question I had about raising my cat. She did so well, that I went ahead and upsold myself (paid for them to do a blood test for "feline AIDS"), because this place deserved my money and so much more for all they did and the wonderful care they took of my cat AND me! I ended up leaving with healthy kitten, much more knowledge, a calmer feeling in myself. Oh they also gave my little kitten Missy Elliott some toys to play with. Score! Heidi said she is going to email me some more information about raising my kitten into a happy fat cat (my words, not hers) and she said she is going to personally call me in a few days to check up on her patient.
Too Long;Dont Read:
Not only did I set up a follow up, I will forever be a loyal customer to All-Pets Hospital and the team there that took service with a smile, to a whole new level. I will always be grateful for how they treated me and my kitten (regardless of the horrible attitude she had; they know that in the end, she is an animal controlled completely by impulse). from the phone call, to after care.
Thank You again All-Pets Hospital, if I could give more stars, I would. read more
