    Megan H.

    My husband and I were traveling from New York to Dayton, OH back in November 2023 with our 11-year-old mini aussie, Cassie. About two hours into our 10-hour drive, she started vomiting, was very lethargic, and could no longer walk. We immediately registered her online at Dayton Care Center to be seen around our estimated arrival time. When we arrived about 8 hours later, they were ready for us. The women at the front desk looked at her gums and told us that because her gums were pale, they suspected internal bleeding. They immediately took her to the back room and started working on her. I wish I could remember the woman's name at the front desk - she had very short buzz cut hair and kept us updated while we sat in the waiting room. She was very kind, but also made sure we understood the seriousness of the situation, asking us if we wanted to sign a DNR for our dog. After maybe 30 minutes in the waiting room, we were bought into a private room to meet with Dr. Colvin about the bloodwork results and possible diagnosis. It turned out our sweet girl had hemolytic anemia; they said she'd be there for a few days so they could do blood transfusions and try to determine the cause of the anemia (cancer, tick related, etc.). They let us see her again before we left than night and gave us as much time as we wanted. The following morning, I called to check in on her. The nurse that took my call was very kind and said Cassie was resting peacefully while in line to get an abdominal ultrasound. About ten minutes later, Dr. Ernst called and told me that they gave Cassie a light sedative prior to the ultrasound and that her heart stopped. He gave me time to grieve and called back a few minutes later to speak with my husband about next steps. We were only in town for 4 days, but they made sure to have her cremated before we had to leave back to New York. In the short 16 hours that Cassie was in their care, I felt that she was always in good hands. They did everything they could to save her, even though it ultimately didn't work out. I will forever be grateful for the kindness that they showed us. After we got back home, we even received a card from the Dayton Care Center, signed by the staff that worked on Cassie. It was so very sweet and appreciated.

    They saved my dog's life. In August they discovered an enormous aggressive cancerous mass growing inside my dog. They were helpful, not pushy, kind, gave me options and were very informative with my dogs diagnosis. The mass was successfully removed along with his spleen. He was treated with love and respect and they continue to do so during his visits with oncology. Obviously you're paying specialty prices and emergency prices. Don't be surprised at your hefty bill. They do have payment plans though to help ease the blow a bit. My dog wouldn't be here today without the care center staff. I am so forever grateful. I don't know how much longer I have with my boy - but I know it's a heck of a-lot longer now than it would've been if I hadn't taken him here in August. Forever will recommend! These guys are miracle workers!

    I've taken two of my furbabies here for emergency treatment. My first emergency was my newfoundland who got bloat in the middle of the night. I rushed him there and I was told that he had about 30 minutes to live. Yes, it was pricey, but he was priceless to me. I agreed to the emergency surgery and they saved his life. He went on to live 6 more years. The second one and the one that is currently ongoing is my baby girl, Halen. She is a 3.8 year old German Shepherd who went there with heart failure. They immediately started treatment and it was discovered that she has endocarditis with aortic valve damage. Her life expectancy was initially 3 days. Well, we're 44 days in and she's still going strong. Dr. Cook and her team have done a tremendous job with both her and her neurotic Mom who bugs them constantly with questions. If I lose her tomorrow, I will still be forever grateful for what they've done for us.

    Drs Foley and Drinkhouse took excellent care of my Petrie-he had a severe case of HGE and almost died, he was hospitalized for eight days- because of their decisive action and quick care my Petrie is still with us today, five weeks later he had a normal exam and bloodwork, without their care he wouldn't be here, I can't thank them enough! They saved Petrie's life!

    RIP my beautiful Hope

    See all

    Told me they could help, couldnt help because it was the weekend. Took my money anyway and told me not to come back. That about sums it up.

She took her in to see Dr. Callejo in the Springboro Office. I had taken my dog there in the past. She wanted $720 to do 5 ex-rays and NO blood work. After agreeing to blood work, she said what she was doing would not show signs of cancer at rate of $420. She said her annual office visit is $420 with blood work. The tech suggested on doing 2 ex-rays so it would be less expensive. Dr. Callejo refused saying she wanted 5 ex-rays. It then became quite obvious that Dr. Callejo was strictly out for money. When I was going there, the vet cared about the animal and was much more compassionate and willing to work with you. When your pet is sick you want someone that cares about the animal not just the money. She could have done 1 or 2 ex-rays not 5 and then determined what else was needed. I will never recommend them again. What a sad experience.
