    In short they are a business before being a vet. The veterinarian is too busy to actually take time…read moreto speak to you, they give medication before testing to see if it's even needed, they have extra fees everywhere, they want to to agree to payment of services before being told what they will be, and are not punctual at all. I called and asked before scheduling if they had the 12 month heart worm injection before making an appointment. I was told they did and we scheduled an appointment a week later. When we arrived our appointment was at 0900 but were not seen until after 0900. I was also asked upfront to sign an agreement to pay for service rendered before even being told what that service would be. While she tried to say that it was for future service that is not how it reads. After being there for about 45 minutes I was told we would have to come back if I wanted the 12 month heart worm as they now did not have it. Giving the benefit of the doubt we came back two days later. This time we were taken to a room right away. We sat in the room for a while until they told me the actual veterinarian was too busy to come examine the dog in the room an needed to take her to the back. I was told to wait up front. They then brought her back and, more waiting. Later the technicians came in to giver her the normal medication your dog receives once a year. However, they gave her a de worming medication WITHOUT testing for worms. After I asked why you would give be a de worming medication before testing they then decided to test. She was negative as expected. At the end I did finally have the actual veterinarian doctor come into the room. This was to give her the heart worm. Its interesting to note they did wait for results of the heart worm test before giving but did not for de worming. Posted in the room were notices that while you have a legal right to go elsewhere for medication they would charge you to provide a prescription. While yes you should pay for the visit I've never seen a vet charge for just writing the prescription. I'd recommend if you can to find another vet but the issue is you don't have many options. The vet next to the base I could not find a single person that recommended going there. I did here and I was disappointed. To be clear the staff is friendly but even a car salesman sells you a car with a smile. I also they were upset with me pointing out these concerns but they concern me. Often business right outside of the military bases have a habit in engaging in these type of practices because they know they can get away with it. I would not recommend this being your regular veterinarian. If you can it might be worth the hour travel time to find a vet in a bigger city or even a rule vet that's more vet focused than profit focused.

    This is the only vet I use for my dawgs…read more They are gentle and very professional. You always feel like family. They do remember your pet and take great care of them. I have 3 boston terriers, a ole English sheepdog and Dr Beall is the only vet. Have to love small town businesses.

    Here we go...this post is regarding The Montgomery Animal Hotel highly recommended to me (of which…read moreI hold none of you responsible) Here are the facts: Dropped my dogs off on December 26th to stay until today January 3rd. Brought their dog beds in and instructed the front desk clerk to elevate the beds on the cot we were shown at our initial consultation at Montgomery Animal Hospital + Hotel . I phoned Montgomery Animal Hospital + Hotel all weekend as we were told we could call anytime and there was no one to answer a call for the entire weekend so I sent a text through their platform which has still never been answered. They were to use their dry food and ours only if they didn't eat the food. On Monday, I called asked Vanessa (administrator and one heck of a salesperson) how they were doing with eating and she said fine. We returned with a bag of empty dry food. They were only to use as backup. On Monday we received pictures of 2 other dogs and when I said, very cute, but those are not my dogs, we'd love to see a pic of our dogs, we got pics of our dogs, beds on the floor (and this is going somewhere). We came through Pineville yesterday right before closing time and I called 2 hours prior on our journey to see if we could early pick up our dogs. We arrived to the Pet Hotel at 5:26 and paid and waited for our dogs. Approximately 10 minutes later the front door opened and I picked up the first dog and gasped and half gagged because they were absolutely soaked with urine. I had to put the leash back on and hand it to my husband to grab their beds from the 2 techs. Each bed was saturated with urine and I had to carry them with two fingers to the truck bed. We had to sacrifice our own clothes because of the urine saturated dogs and hold them so they wouldn't soil the back seats. My husband and I sat for a few minutes examining the dogs and let me tell you when we felt and smelled their wet feet and bellies and I smelled my hands from holding them, my husband had to stop me from going back into the clinic. My husband is a 6'5 former college basketball player and I watched him weep at the sight of our dogs. As for me, I'm on fire with anger at the neglect of our pups, and Hell Hath no fury like a Virgo Mama Bear scorned. We got a call 5 minutes after we left from the hospital because the girl at the front desk saw what happened and was concerned. We were told we'd be called by the administrator today. I waited til noon thinking, surely this is priority for them but no call and so I called Dr. Morgan. She returned my call. I in a very calm manner proceeded to ask her what happened. She said she was informed we were not happy with the way the dogs essentially were presented at pickup. Then asked me to tell her what happened. I did. She said it's taking me a minute to wrap my head around this because I've never heard of this in 15 years. She told me she did not think that as upset as I was that she could provide me with a resolution and asked what I expected from the call. I stated honesty and integrity as in your oath. And I stated that I felt my dogs' health was neglected and endangered as was also in her oath. She said by envoking her oath she had to end the call and I needed to contact an attorney. No wonder they have to schedule the initial consultations in advance, no wonder they bathe the dogs for free after 3+ days of boarding. No wonder there is no access to the "luxury" facility unless prior scheduled. I am mortified at the way they were neglected and the way in which Doctor Morgan handled the situation. At no time did I ask nor was a refund offered or an apology from her. The lady at the desk who called after we left, apologized profusely. As my husband repeatedly told Maggie and Bruno last night, they will never have to go there again. Feel free to share to make positive change possible for our pups.
