She also gave us a few stamped pages of Rusty's paw prints which the kids absolutely adored. Thank you again staff at AV and Tara for making a tough time that much more easier.

We saw Dr Jamie Campbell. I told the doc of the issue with our labradoodle. Our doodle had been…read moresick with specific issues and told him. He immediately said it's an UTI. NO testing just his hunch I asked if we need blood work he said NO. I asked if we needed xray... again no. He prescribed her pain medication and she prescribed her an antibiotic I bought the anabiotic did not the pain medicine as I had the same thing at home we took her home her condition got worse overnight I found a prior vet before we moved and Halifax told her what happened she immediately said bring her to me. We took a 3 1/2 hour drive got her there. She did bloodwork immediately and she said she thought she had Addison's disease. She sent her straight to a animal hospital in Halifax. They confirmed what our vet in Halifax said Immediately they put her in the ICU unit and they also said that they thought it was Addison's disease with all the indications to them. Two days later we bring her home I had phoned straight, veterinarian clinic to tell them I could not speak with an office manager, as I think this doctor should have been more aware of the problem other than to brush me off. I would not even recommend this place.

Took our very sick cat to be euthanized yesterday what a horrifying experience. The initial person…read morethat took us to the room was so nice and understanding. Left us to comfort our cat, Then came the person who euthanized her she didn't even introduce herself, and the roughness with which she handled the cat was appalling. our cat was horrified and balling after several missed attempts at placing the intravenous It terrified our cat and horrified us when all we wanted was a peaceful ending for our girl in the final, minutes. It wasn't the case. I honestly thought that the cat would be sedated prior to the procedure she wasn't, the whole procedure just seemed to be so rushed because it was close to closing. I don't know the vet's name and I understand the veins may have been difficult to find but the forcefulness used at the end will haunt us forever.

My kitten is going to live to MAYBE 1 years old because an incompetent doctor didn't do a thorough…read moreexam. Doctor Barry Harrison supposedly did a whole body exam- skeleton and respiratory included- and somehow missed that she had a deviated sternum. We take her to get her second round of shots and she is examined at a different vet. This vet TOUCHED HER FOR LESS THAN A SECOND before finding this birth defect. Had a doctor done his job properly, we would have been able to get a corrective surgery. But now she is too old and her bones are too hard to save her. She will live a short miserable life.
