    I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else. This clinic and the doctors and staff are fantastic!…read more I took my cat three times to Burlington, where he was misdiagnosed each time. First time here they nailed it! My cat loved them, he was almost happy to be there because they were so wonderful with him! I had my dwarf bunny fixed here as well, when for some reason vet clinics around here won't do that. He's in tip top shape! When my kitty had to be put down, they were wonderful in the worst situation. So caring and compassionate, to he and I, down to his last breath. They sent me the sweetest sympathy card as well, which meant so much to us. If you love your pets and want the best care for them, this is the place you WILL go. I'm so thankful we found this wonderful vet clinic with this amazing staff.

    So I have been meaning to do this review for awhile but I have mixed feelings as the staff here was…read morevery friendly. After using BEVS for my dog's first initial hospital vet care visit when living in Vermont, I chose to try Tannenberger as it was closer to me than BEVS. I was hopeful because they seemed eager to help me and see my dog Bonnie to give her the care she needed. If I could give five stars for friendliness amd hospitality, I would. Where they fell short was the fact that after doing the initial intake and consult for my dog, I was told that they mised up her blood sample and that I would have to come in again. This was cumbersome for me as I don't own a vehicle and had to utilize a local taxi service to get to and from this location. My dog had not been eating, was running a fever, and was lethargic. Again, they were very kind and welcoming, but to me mixing up a blood sample in a pathology lab in a hospital would warrant a visit from the hospital's joint commission or committee that oversees health regulations and compliance/quality control. A pet's health should be taken just as seriously as a human's because it is a living thing and veterinary care is costly. I already had to pay $4000+ out of pocket for emergency care at BEVS in Burlington, so to have pay another $1,000 (as that is what it costed at Tanneberger) is just downright deplorable. Now I don't wish to sound like a Karen but mixing up blood samples and paying $1000 just to have my dog's vitals evaluated is obscene. I had been tracking my dog's I&O's (input/intake and output) on my own and her temperature and gave her a pet friendly NSAID/fever reducer that BEVS prescribed, but I was hoping for a bit more comprehensive care than what I was offered. BEVS suspected that she had a parasitic infection so they also prescribed itraconazole but when they test for that came back negative I was back to square one, hence why I reached out to Tannenberger. Perhaps she just had a stomach bug/flu or maybe food poisoning, but I owe an extra $1000 on top of the $4000 I owe to BEVS. I think $1000 for vitals to be assessed is a bit much:/ The vet did ask me what I can pay or how much I can afford which I said I am hoping to stay under $1,000 and what do you know, I was charged exactly around $1,000. The sad part is the vet seemed really nice as did the girls at the front desk, but to me it is inexcusable and felt like they were price gouging me and taking advantage of a new patient. I also was not local to Vermont (originally from Miami, FL and have moved around quite a bit) and Saint Albans is a small town where everyone knows everybody I think, but I even told them that I was not working presently, and I was still charged around $1,000 and also given wrong information about her bloodwork (that her calcium levels were high). She did bring my awareness to some lumps on her chest that they aspirated and took a sample of, but I also assessed that they were probably fatty deposits/lipomas. When I brought Bonnie home I did a very thorough massage on her (lymphatic drainage as I was certified infant massage) and made sure to target those areas, and luckily the large lumps went away. I wish to give three stars for friendliness and amicability but I just think the mixup with the bloodwork was something that could have been avoided. If you are a pet parent reading this, just make sure you do your due diligence in finding the right care for your pet. They truky are man's best friend and I am grateful that Bonnie is alove to this day because I was sincerely afraid that her health was deteriorating and that I was going to have to make some very hard and drastic decisions on whether or not to put her down as she wasn't eating, was frequently urinating and defecating everywhere. She had a persistent cough reminiscent of a hacking sound and was very weak and lethargic, which are all signs of poor health. Thankfully, she is eating happily, playful, energetic, and lively. I was going to give the place two stars but changed it to three since they at least allowed her to be seen and squeezed me in for an appointment and greeted me in a friendly manner. They also did refund me for the bloodowork mix up ($250 refund back) but still I think $1000 is a bit much for a vet visit, though as close relatives have told me, vet hospital bills are known for being quite hefty and costly. So make sure you do your homework and research the clinic before going to it.

    I unfortunately never looked at the reviews before I left my dog, but I had a similar issue with…read moremuscle loss after leaving my dog with the kennel for 7 days. She is a 2yr old Cirneco, which are slim active/muscular dogs that need to exercise regularly. I was happy to see on the website "Time outside of these hours is spent caring for our boarders." Hours of operation are 6:30am to 5:30pm This is actually not the case because no one is there after their noted work hours. All staff leave which is why you are not able to pick up after 5:30pm. Which means the dogs are left alone for 13hrs in the evening. I was running 30min late from my flight in Montreal. Similar to the woman in 2023, they refused to wait noting that they had been there all day. I was meant to drive to New York that evening and had to take on unnecessary costs due to their inflexibility. The intake was disorganized - they have important policies that you should be aware of prior to drop off. After this terrible experience I then found out later that they underfed my dog 1/2 the amount she was meant to be fed (again intake issues). I wrote to the owners to explain how I and my dog were treated and have not received a response. It sounds like their specialty is cleaning and fencing, but perhaps not long term boarding care

    I wasn't going to write this review at first but the more I think about it, the more I think people…read moreshould know. I'm going to keep this short but truthful. My senior dog stayed for 10 days at this place. She was walking just fine when I dropped her off. Just like all big senior dogs, yes, she has arthritis but, again, she was walking. I called to check on her everyday to make sure she's doing good and eating well. On Day 10, my travel day, I received a very disturbing voicemail saying she couldn't stand up and walk on her own. My flight won't be arriving til 7. I begged Marc, the owner, to let me pick her up after hours but no, he had to go to his daughter baseball game. I picked her up first thing the next day. Yes, she's totally immobile. Took her to the vet and they said she lost all her back muscles. What are these people doing in 10 days?!?!? Just let her sleep on her kennel?!?!? What kind of place is this that doesn't make sure that she gets her exercise. This was in September 2022 and she went to rainbow bridge in March 2023.
