The Throop Location. My dog was in critical condition. He…read morecouldn't urinate for four days due to cancer masses putting pressure on his bladder. I brought him in the morning for treatment or euthanasia, they recommended euthanasia. I prepaid for the appointment (which was later in the day). Prior to the morning appointment, I requested a muzzle because my dog was snappy, he snapped at me in the morning, I wanted to make sure the staff would be safe while examining him. They were aware that he snapped at me, since I was adamant about getting a muzzle. When we came for the euthanasia, with my two sons and husband, they went through their checklist. I again shared he snapped at me, then all of a sudden they demanded he is tested for rabies. For those of you who don't know how animals are tested for rabies, they must examine the brain. When asked how much does he weigh, I responded 80 lbs, they coldly said in front of my boys 'we have to take his head off and send it'. WHAT!? Are you kidding me?! And the worse part? I had to pay for it. I opted for us to bring his body home for home burial, but now I have to choose to have his body returned decapitated or pay for cremation. All for a snap that didn't break skin. The only time I was spoken to with tenderness or compassion is when they asked for payment. I am so saddened, angry, and appalled that despite me sharing the entire day that we needed a muzzle to ensure safety of staff because he had snapped at me, when it came to the very last minute and I was deep in grief I was blindsided by this. Try consoling a 12 year old who literally grew up with his dog that we can't bring him home to bury. Explain what the 'doctor' meant when he said 'we have to take his head off'. They made a hard day infinitely harder. Do better, Throop location. Remember that we are paying YOU for a a service, you aren't doing anything as a favor or for free. Now I have to live with the knowledge that my beautiful boy will be returned to us incomplete. Without his beautiful head. By far the worst experience of my entire life.

Dr. Jess is right up there as well. They were honest with us about what they are really good at and not shy about saying when they think another pair of eyes of a specialist is needed. The techs there are not just employees, they are family. Many new faces in the last few years. And many of the familiar ones we've known as long as Dr. Linda. They have been forthright about the care our four legged children needed. When they were healthy and when they weren't. The care is the best reason to use this practice for your family, companion, or pet. They also do not gouge for prices as some providers do. Medication can get pricey as our beloved fur babies age. And when the time came to let them go across the Rainbow Bridge, they were there with us. Supporting us. Offering assistance and care through the very best people. Thanks JVC! You know who we are.
