My dog has been a client at this clinic for more than 3 years. On Christmas day, I noticed she was…read morescratching and shaking her head more indicating an ear infection. I called on Friday and there was no available appointments so I was told to call in on Saturday morning starting at 8 am. My call was placed on hold and the receptionist returned to the phone at 8:04 am and I was told no available appointments. Of course I was upset and if I wanted my pet to be seen, I would have to drive to Auburn. Nevertheless, I scheduled an appointment for Monday the 29th. I received an email that appointment was for 8 am. I got to the clinic and the receptionist informed me her appointment was not until 2:30 pm. I was able to show the email and get my dog seen. Thanks to the receptionist, Dr. May and Tech Paige for getting my dog seen this morning and treating her bilateral ear infection. My recommendation is to look at how the Saturday appointments are made because I had to medicate my dog for several days before she could be seen in her regular clinic. Mary G.

I had to make the absolutely gut wrenching decision to put my sweet almost 17 year old yorkie down a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately Dr. Tatum was not in that day but Dr. Lewis handled it. I just didn't feel any warmth or compassion from the office staff members at all. Nobody said 'sorry for your loss' or 'she was a good dog' or even looked up from their computers when the euthanasia was complete and I was leaving. I realize that people have to become desensitized to the death of pets when working in the field, however, my dog had been a patient for over 10 years at their office. That was one of the absolute hardest days of my life and nobody was even bothered enough to see a sobbing person and say 'sorry for your loss.' I will miss Dr. Tatum himself but when the time comes to find a new vet, I will be using a different practice. Bottom line: if you're looking for compassionate end of life care, please research this thoroughly as this was unfortunately not my experience with the current staff.

(He just cut his paw but was bleeding EVERYWHERE) They ended up neutering him too while he was under anesthesia, per our consent of course lol, which was really nice because we wouldn't have even thought to ask! Which really saved us some money in the long run. Everyone in this hospital was very easy and nice to work with in such a stressful situation. And the bill was way less than what I was expecting which is great! I highly recommend this hospital to anyone that needs emergency care

Once I got in the room before even looking at my dog, they brought a piece of paper in with 5 test to run on my dog for $500. I told them I just want a x-ray first to see what the issue it. On the paper it said X-Rays $76, they did 2 for some reason. When I got the bill I was charged twice for x-rays sense they did 2 (That they never said would be extra) His visit cost more then a humans visit to the ER! If you do not have an emergency, go someone else. Also their X-Ray machine take horrible pictures, hard to see.

No matter which line you try, there's never an answer. I even reached out about a stray dog that needed help, and nobody came out. It's extremely frustrating, especially considering the fact that they just had a big revamp and promote themselves heavily with events like "Bark for Blues" festivals to get dogs adopted. They clearly put effort into marketing, but when it comes to the basic responsibility of answering calls and helping the community, they are failing. This organization needs to get its priorities straight.

They always seem overworked and like they need more staff in the 10 or more years I've been going there, and they almost never answer their phones so it's very hard to ask questions or make an appointment. I wonder how many more people they could reach if they just answered their phones (clinic side especially, rescue side is a smidge better)?! Heck I'll do it, I'd even take minimum wage to do it. FYI they only take animals in from the Animal Control next door, so owner surrenders or found animals have to go through Animal Control. I found this kitten in Jason's Deli parking lot emaciated and missing an eye but mewing and coming up to us for help. We named him Ragetti and called the rescue to tell them how absolutely sweet he was, and they told us to surrender him to Animal Control then call them so they can pick him up. Animal Control said they would normally euthanize injured feral cats, but I insisted he was sweet to everyone and deserved a chance and stayed until PAWS picked him up! After they fixed his eye we visited him at the shelter as he gained weight so he would stay socialized and sweet, and he was adopted within a couple of weeks !

But this isn't about them, this is about the heroes that saved the day...and Oscar's tushie (he had...hmmm, how to put this delicately...a big poop stuck in his little backside). lol. It's easy to laugh about it now, but it was horrible when it was happening. The great staff & doc at University Avenue Vet Clinic were ready and waiting for us.
