Simone Yen and this office will never receive a recommendation or a request for service again. $300 for a blood work up and then another $883 for the procedure.This office took no responsibility and made us feel as if this was a lack of communication on our part. This office was notified that our dog was most probably pregnant and they waited a month to conduct the surgery so we could be charged more money. We were put on a wait list for the procedure and they never could fit us in. Knowing very well we were concerned she was already pregnant . I certainly hope this is not the case with everyone, but from my conversation with Simone she didn't care. If we could give them 0 stars we would!!!

My cat had a blockage and could not pass urine, so I rushed him to Cornell Emergency Vet Hospital…read more He was seen relatively fast, and they unblocked him and told me he could go home. The vet was a 20 something intern- and when I asked the benefits of keeping him overnight was told " just fluids and observation"- I had fluids so I informed the vet of that, and she said " Oh, great!"- and as soon as I got him home, he was straining to pee and could not. 8 hours and a thousand dollars and Hewas exactly the same as before I went. My vet explained the next morning that " standard care" was at min. 24-48 hrs w/ a catheter in a hospital. Theyoung newbie vet at Cornell apparently did not know this, and so not having another $1000 to start over, and then climb high- my baby was humanely euthanized, and I feel so heartsick about this. Such a failure.

We had to change vets after a few years of repeat issues. - They don't seem to keep good records of the meds they give, always asking me if I'm still giving a medicine that we stopped years ago, I correct them every time. - We needed blood tests and they took the wrong amount so had to do it twice. - I made an appointment for a bump on my boxer's arm, it was covid times so I had to wait outside. They sent her back with a clean bill of health, I asked about it again and they asked "What bump?" (it was the size of an egg on her right front leg). -They charged me for a yearly checkup again 4 months later and when I called to ask, they told me it was required. - After a year of sluggish behavior and a couple visits, we eventually researched enough ourselves to suggest thyroid, they confirmed with a test and got him on meds - They won't give me enough meds to get me to my new vet's appointment date. So I had to write this review. I hope you have better luck, I'm sure most people are content with them.

An elderly Weimaraner recovering from spinal surgery has attended acupuncture sessions since shortly after her surgery. I attended two of her sessions and was amazed at how wonderfully the dogs adjusted to the setting, even while Colonial was going through an extensive renovation. The staff, both administrative and professional, are heart-felt and warm, and obviously care deeply for the animals who come to them seeking help. I would highly recommend Colonial to most clients.

These people are corporate. This is obvious when they need to tell you via signs, wall art, etc…read more that "they care". If that proves true you needn't spell it out. If your animals needs care that is expensive - like almost anything there is - they refuse to offer their own payment plan. You either have Care Credit or you pay their horrendous prices in full. They are compartmentalized: thanks to the surgeon's lack of knowledge, my dog died unnecessarily, long tragic story short. Their wall signs should say " we care a lot...about our bottom line profit margins."

SCAM SCAM SCAM DO NOT GO HERE EVER…read more I brought in my cat who was 16 and dying. First, they tell me my cat bit a nurse so I'll be contacted by the health department. They insist I should put her down. She was so close to death I wanted her to pass at home where she's comfortable, not scared to death in a sterile environment. I ask about cremation. They tell me if I want the ashes back it's $600. I quickly learn that the local animal hospital charges $120. My cat died peacefully the next morning in her bed. They also convinced me in my grief to buy a $75 medication that may get her to eat again. This cat was done eating. Then, not the health dept, but a coworker reaches out to me, I tell him all of the above, and I add that I cannot understand how your nurse was surprised that a sick dying scared cat bit her, my cat doesn't have rabies, and stop contacting me. This place also about 3 years ago saw My cat, said she had asthma, and gave me the shadiest instructions to contact a Canadian 3rd party pharmacy for the medicine and the face harness. She didn't have asthma, our old house was just dusty and her symptoms went away immediately after we moved. Total scammers.

He was professional, kind, soft-spoken, and well-equipped for what was a compassionate, peaceful passing. Saying goodbye to my beloved pet was one of the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but Dr. Jackson and CodaPet made it as positive an experience as it could have been. I can't recommend this Dr. Jackson and this service enough.

I have been going to Meadowridge Vet for over a year now, and I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else…read more They have been a great vet for everything from routine exams, to boarding, and for when she was in a crisis. The head vet, Linda, really tries to build a welcoming atmosphere, is extremely personable, and amazing with animals. She really tries to explain what is going on with your pet and will work with you to ensure you are getting the care you want for your furry friends. She has trained at Cornell and has a great working relationship with them, so I really feel like I'm getting great care for an affordable price. Because of that relationship, some of the lab work gets sent to Cornell and she also is not afraid to send serious cases to them. The rest of the staff is also awesome, from the front desk to the lab techs -- I feel they really care about your experience. They also have a boarding facility, which I have used -- I would recommend it. The staff is, again, really amazing and they get to know your pets so well. If you are booking for around the holiday, I would make sure you book early!
