I've had other vets reassure me, suggest waiting and seeing, or even pass me on to another vet in situations like this, and she did say those were options, but what I needed was her opinion; thank goodness I took it, because in spite of my dog's lack of emergent symptoms, the situation would have turned deadly very quickly. As it is, my dog is all better, wreaking havoc and tracking in mud, and I'll always be grateful for that.

Dr. loverett after two jabs into my dog was unable to give her a rabies shot. At which point I decided to go somewhere else. Also, I got medicine for a yeast infection in her ear that was mislabeled. It was labeled right ear and for a week that's what she got. At which time I went to my regular vet and her infection is in her left ear. The vet showed me it was in her left ear. I tried to get a hold of the office manager, and she declined to take my calls. Instead, they decided to fire me as a patient after going therefore 15 years. If I could give them a zero, I would.

This is a call I never wanted to make. My sweet Brutus had taken the turn I have been fearing for…read moresome time. He went downhill very quickly. I knew I didn't want to take him to the vet to say goodbye, because I knew it would add to his stress. I avoided making this call through most of the day, but by the afternoon, I knew I couldn't put it off any longer. I called Dr Dahlgren and she picked up right away. She was able to come that afternoon, which was a tremendous relief because I didn't think Brutus' suffering could go on much longer. She was gentle, respectful, caring, and informed me of what could happen every step of the process. I was able to say goodbye in the comfort of my own home and I was able to keep Brutus as comfortable as I knew how. Thank you Dr Dahlgren for making my loss as bearable as possible.

They made special notes in his file, like how he gets anxious in thunderstorms, so they could take special care with his unique personality.

I'm sure they must actually be a great vet since they were recommended to me by multiple people,…read morebut considering the vet and two techs came to my barn, performed 2 physical exams on my horses, and left charging me almost $300 while not giving any vaccines I requested, and instead tried to upsell some wellness plan (to the tune of $450+ per horse, not counting call fee), I feel as though I've been fleeced. I was given an unreasonable explanation about them wanting to wait a month to give vaccines when I told them that my shows start earlier here and I cannot put in entries without up to date records. If I was going to have to wait a month, why did they not have their office person ask for records ahead of time so that this whole ordeal could have been avoided? They wanted to do a Potomac booster, so I'm not sure why they wouldn't give the first shot the day they were here and come back to do the second one with the rest of the vaccines on the timeline they wanted, which left me feeling like the only thing they were actually trying to do was to get not one, but two more call fees from me. I understand that vets need to make money, but this was such an incredibly off-putting experience for me that I've never encountered with any other large or small animal vet.
