She truly cares about your pets and she's affordable. I had an elderly lab named Shadow who passed away from cancer at 13, and Dr. Foley and her team were all crying with my boyfriend and I because they truly cared about him. They helped us get him cremated, they took care of the entire process. I just love them. And when I had a feral mama cat and her babies show up at my house, I trapped them all and she spayed, neutered and vaccinated them all for a reasonable price. We rescued another lab mix named Luke who had been through a lot of trauma and has PTSD. Dr. Foley helped us treat him with calming treats and she gave us advice on how to help him acclimate to his new life. He's now one of the best dogs ever! We will always take our pets to Dr. Foley and her team for any of their needs.

When I was obviously uncomfortable, her only response was that yes, she's recording and she doesn't need my permission! This pattern of her not caring about my needs would repeat in my appointment. I was very obviously not wanting that, but I had to ask her multiple times and she never even apologized. Recording people like she did and not stopping the 1st time is definitely crossing the line. Says everything about how much she cares about your needs, which reflects on how she'll care for pets. They did not ask my permission to pin my dog down on the table. He's very gentle and I didn't want him down there longer than he needed to be. They didn't listen to me beforehand when I told them that he doesn't like it. Instead of being Sorry they got angry at me and Dr. Bauer seemed to do a tit for tat thing in her head where she started complaining about the fact that my dog was on the examination table at all. She literally got angry at me because he was on the examination table. I have never in my entire life had a veterinarian behave this way. I even tried to smooth things over by apologizing and they still continued to be extremely rude. It wasn't a sincere apology, but I still said it kindly I just wanted them to be nice to my dog. What a nightmare. Furthermore, every single opinion I stated or response to any of their suggestions that indicated I was thinking for myself was met with criticism and disapproval, if not outright shaming and complaining. There was one time that her assistant was in the room alone with me and she got into this really Petty power struggle with me, because I said I can't control my pet 100% of the time which is just a fact. She then snitched on me to Dr. Bauer who proceeded to try and micromanage me in a different way. These people are just about control and ego imo. At the end, as we were wrapping up I was trying to explain something and she yelled at me, STOP!! Like a nazi. She rudely interrupted me and then had the nerve to say she wanted to talk. So she wants to talk but not listen? Even more shockingly, on the way out I said listen just don't hate me. Okay, please? Think anyone who is kind would have said something like of course not. I was truly amazed when all she said was "kay" as she walked out the door without a handshake or even a smile. Wow If you want to place that respects your opinion and values and active participant in caring about their dog, this is not the place. She is one of the worst and meanest vets I have ever encountered and she has absolutely no response for anyone but herself in my opinion. They also emailed me to tell me that they didn't want me as a patient anymore. Frankly, I was never planning to come back so I was relieved and of course not surprised by their ongoing rudeness and lack of respect.

When I called Swift Creek the person I spoke with said they were pretty booked but that she would see what they could do for me and my dog. She came back in a couple of minutes and said they could get me if I could come in soon. I drove Buu straight there and they got us in. There was nothing serious but they gave him an injection that really helped him. He slept through the night and the next day no more vomiting. The price was a lot less than an ER vet. These people really care and they understood how important my Buu is to me! You deserve that kind of care and so does your pet! If I am ever back in Raleigh, I will find a reason to drop in!

He's recently developed some anxiety around vet visits, as a lot of pets do, but, with a little encouragement from me and the staff, he is usually able to make it through his visits and be fine. Unfortunately during our past couple appointments, the vet seemed to have very little time or patience for him, creating a stressful and unproductive experience for me and my dog. I understand that everyone has a job to do, but I'd rather take my baby somewhere with vets who are happy and willing to take the little bit of extra time to give him the care he needs and try to create a better experience for him. Sedatives are great for pets having a hard time, but I was made to feel like they wanted to sedate my pet as to not have to spend any amount of time making him feel comfortable and safe.

THEY KILLED MY $5,000 PUREBRED DOG (PLEASE READ) My purebred…read moreBernese Mountain dog who was 2 years and 2 months went to Clayton Animal Hospital in the care of Caylee Cuppernull on Feb 16th for a NEUTER and GASTROPEXY. They assured me they were routing procedures. That was a Monday, and Friday morning I found him dead. I was in CONSTANT text communication with them, brought Bruno in on Wednesday as his stitches were dark purple and leaking fluid, brought him in on Thursday as he seemed to rapidly decline. I told them to do WHATEVER they needed to NO MATTER THE COST. They assured me my baby would be ok. Caylee kept saying he was "fine" and "just a sensitive boy". He was in their care all day Thursday for fluids and when we picked him up that evening he could barely walk without panting and plopping down every few steps. AGAIN, she said he was "a sensitive boy and just a little inflamed." She ran blood tests and said his white blood cell count was low but that it was normal and that he was AGAIN "SENSITIVE". They wanted me to bring him back in on Friday for more fluids for another full day. After my husband stayed up till around 4:30am, watching him. I woke up at 7:40am and found him dead in his crate with blood and fluid coming out of his belly. I screamed and pleaded for him to wakeup, his belly still warm but his body stiff. I called Clayton Animal Hospital and they just said sorry and sent over 2 vet techs who grabbed him out of the crate to bring to my car to transport to Rollins Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory for Necropsy. Necropsy results said he hemorrhaged and had SEVERE inflammation, essentially dying from SEPSIS. He had muscle NECROSIS. aka his muscle tissue was DYING. He was in their care MONDAY, WED, all day THUR and all signs that he was septic were missed. He had stopped EATING and DRINKING since TUESDAY and CAYLEE CUPPERNULL said and I quote "I don't feel like eating when I have the flu either, he is just a sensitive boy". I have talked to other people who have also lost their pets at the hands of this hospital. I am BEGGING you, do not take your animals here for any major surgery, they will KILL your beloved pet. This place is disgusting and unsanitary. FUN FACT: Caylee Cuppernull never even reached out to apologize or show remorse. I NEVER heard from her ever again and all anyone else could say was "so sorry we don't know how this could have happened". I loved this dog with all my heart and soul. He was THE SWEETEST boy ever, so gentle and full of love with his large paws. I just wanted the best for him and I feel like a failure as a dog parent. Bruno trusted me blindly and I put my trust in this hospital just to lose my fur baby who should have had 5+ more years ahead of him.

After my member discount I paid 60 dollars for an antibiotic! And they are always trying to force me into paying for things that are not needed or wanted. Most of the staff is great and treats my dog wonderfully. But I've had a couple bad experiences that have stuck with me. Once when a nurse came in my dog hit her head on the leg of the table in her excitement to go see her(she was only 5 months) and the nurse laughed and said "well shes not the brightest crayon in the box is she?" We spend a lot of time training our very intelligent dog and this lady told me my dog was stupid right to my face, I was not happy to say the least. Then I love most of the vets there they always tell me how sweet and loving my pup is but I got this one who I swear acts like she hates animals. She acted super annoyed with my dog. She was bothered by the fact that she jumps, shes a 5 month old boxer and any good vet we've seen said they expect nothing less of her. I have to take my pup soon to get spayed. While they were telling me about what's going to happen that day they let me know that the sedative that they use to keep the animals calm during that stressful time may not be safe for my boxer, in boxers it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure that could kill them. Then they tell me that they only cover the one sedative and if I don't want to take the risk I would have to pay another 35 dollars for a safe sedative. As a veterinarian I think they should have the animals well being in mind, they should cover the safe sedative because they want to make sure that they have my dogs best interest in mind. I will of course be paying the extra 35 dollars, I love my dog and would not risk her life, but I'm disappointed that Banfield doesn't care.
