    White Oak Animal Safe Haven

    This place is the most amazing shelter I've ever dealt with. My family has adopted multiple animals…read morehere and in our time of need they were there for us. Suffice to say my family and I are forever grateful for WOASH for their care for not just the animals but the people and families in the community, too.

    I want to start out by saying I don't aim to prevent animals from being adopted, as I think all of…read morethe animals here deserve to find loving homes. However, I recently adopted a cat from White Oak Animal Safe Haven, and if I knew then what I know now, I never would have adopted from here. We took our new cat to the vet after about a week of having her home, and she tested positive for Giardia and Coccidia, two types of parasites. If you don't know anything about this, a quick google search will show you what a process it is to get rid of these parasites in cats. It is really difficult to get rid of and has been an emotional roller coaster. We have spent hundreds of dollars in vet bills and cleaning supplies. We had to treat and quarantine our resident cat. We have a carpeted apartment which makes this so much harder to get rid of. We spent hundreds on carpet cleaning alone. It is also highly contagious, so it is very likely all of their cats and possibly dogs could have this as well. I find it very hard to believe the shelter had no idea their cats have this, and if they didn't, they are not properly vetting their animals (which is funny because they told us they denied someone's application because they said they wouldn't take their cat to the vet). Giardia and coccidia cause the cat to have really bad diarrhea and gas, so if they really did not know their cats were infected with the parasites, they were knowingly not seeking care for their animals. We noticed the smell on the drive home after picking her up, so there's no way they didn't know something was up. They never once mentioned to us that this is something they were dealing with, and they knew we had another cat at home. So they risked my current cats health as well. The adoption process is quite intense and very thorough, which I don't think is a bad thing necessarily; however, to have that type of adoption process and then give me a sick animal is crazy to me. After we got the results, I called the shelter to inform them in case there's some possible way they didn't know, and the woman I spoke to was kind of rude and very dismissive. No apology or anything. I will say, we had a good adoption otherwise. The cat coordinator was very kind when we went to meet the cats and when we picked up the cat we adopted. I just can't believe they gave us a sick cat and never felt the need to mention anything. All of this being said, be aware that if you have recently adopted a cat or plan to, there is almost a 100% chance they will also have Giardia and Coccidia because it sometimes takes multiple rounds of medication and cleaning to fully get rid of this. Our cat has been on one cycle of meds already, and there has yet to be improvement. I don't know how long this has been going on, but if you want to adopt from here, please do some research so you can get it right from the beginning and help the sick cats. It is treatable but it requires a lot of time, money, and consistency.

    VCA Wexford Animal Hospital - Waiting area for cats

    I'd love to work here! Everyone smiles and you can tell they love their jobs. They help each…read moreother as needed and are happy to do so. They are empathetic when necessary starting with the front desk when you walk in. Dr. Dymun and her tech Jessica are both very good listeners. They ask owners lots of questions to help with a diagnosis. My dog gets a more thorough exam than I do at my doctor-(I'm not complaining as I really hate going to the doctor). Dr. Dymun emailed me several times to check on my pet's progress and offered suggestions to aid her recovery. It was easy to schedule an appointment and I can't complain about fees as I feel my pet received extraordinary care.

    I took my cat Nika to VCA Wexford Animal Hospital two times. I made an appointment for a…read morenew-patient exam, and then I made an appointment with a vet tech for blood tests. I would prefer that this animal hospital have more evening and weekend hours, but we did get evening or Friday appointments that worked for us. For both appointments, the front staff quickly checked us in, and we used the separate waiting area for cats. The vet techs started our appointments on time. I appreciated that they had familiarized themselves with my cat's previous medical records. For the first appointment, the veterinarian arrived several minutes late, but she was very knowledgeable and nice (even after my cat when being palpated peed on the table!). She did a physical exam on Nika, and we discussed Nika's history of kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, anemia, and UTIs. The vet said that many kidney-disease cats need longer than 2 weeks of antibiotics, which is true and something that my previous veterinarians never said. She recommended a supplement to prevent UTIs. Later, another veterinarian here promptly ordered a refill for a thyroid medication for Nika. Employees at the front desk promptly rang up the fees for the exam, supplement, blood tests, and fecal test. I thought that the prices were OK. A few days later, Dr. Santabene called me about the test results. We spoke for about 16 minutes, and she communicated very thoroughly and politely. Nika's kidney labs were much worse than before, so we increased her lactated ringers (LR) and added a phosphate binder that was ready for pickup hours later. For my upcoming international vacation, Dr. Santabene was still willing to keep Nika at VCA Wexford's pet hotel where the vet techs would administer 100 mLs of lactated ringers on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and 150 mLs on Mondays and Fridays (because vet techs do not work on weekends). The employees at the pet hotel took a while to tell me accurate prices, but the final estimate was $1,324.30 - $1,374.30 (which included $344 for 10 fluid therapies, $86 for 10 biohazard waste disposals, $244 for 10 technician office visits, and $650-700 for 13-14 nights in a nice-looking feline boarding condo). However, days later Nika began to show serious symptoms, so I had her euthanized by a different veterinarian. Weeks later Dr. Santabene mailed a handwritten sympathy card to me. For my next pet who has a medical diagnosis, I will probably bring her/him here, because I think that Dr. Santabene has knowledge and empathy that many other vets lack.
