Before I gave up Layfield forever I have 4 small animals, and 3 equids.
Problem #1: I took a puppy with an impaction to the Princess Anne office after being turned away from the Pocomoke office (where my dog was already a patient, got all her puppy shots there), I ended up going to another veterinary office because I didn't like the communication flow between myself and the vet, but only after I got x-rays done that not one but TWO other practices couldn't read, and they had to be redone anyway.
Problem #2: I got spring 2017 shots done for 2 horses, paid onsite with a card using a mobile swipe thing. A month later got an email saying I had an outstanding balance (for spring 2017 shots) and ended up having to submit bank statements that the bill had already been paid.
Problem #3: I got coggins pulled on a mini 3 months ago. I was not able to access them online via the online pet record thing that Layfield uses, so I asked for a PDF sent to my email. Email was not sent, so I called the next day as a "friendly reminder type of thing" and the response I get is, "Hey we don't have any pictures, (Which were taken that day, I actually trailered the horse to the office), but if you want it you can take the pictures and send them in". Listen I don't mind helping people out, but those coggins are bought and paid for, let's talk about things that aren't my job.
I have a plethora of large and small animals, and there aren't a lot of large animal vets in this area, so I hesitate to even write this, because before Problem #3 I've never had an issue with CARE per se, but every time I go there there's an issue that somehow becomes my issue. I'd say OKAY for large animals, but avoid like the plague for small animals. read more
