The woman that answered said that she would try to get ahold of a vet and call me back. Over two hours later with still no reply, I called back. Based on the apathy and indifference in the receptionist's voice, there was no indication she would have called me back. After reminding her, I had been waiting on a callback, she tried to get off the phone quickly after telling me All Creatures only services clients within a 30 mile radius. This is information I should have been provided when I called at 11:30. I pointed out that this was unprofessional service, and I received a dead fish "I'm sorry." Sorry my a**. A call or text would have sufficed. Don't tell ppl you'll call back when their pet is convulsing and foaming at the mouth. I sure hope the residents of Mt. Home receive better care than people calling from Mt. View. This is a joke of a title. I hope if anyone calls in the future that you get better care and faster service than I did. I also hope the woman that told me she would call me back gets training on how to actually call people back when frantic pet owners call an emergency veterinary hospital. Telling me at 11:30 that this hospital can't see my dog would not have pissed me off. It would have provided an answer. Making ppl wait for over two hours when you said you would call pisses me off and is all just beyond awful and lazy service.

So I recently took my little chihauha in to this vet. I've taken her there since we got her from…read morethe humane society. I went in to get her teeth cleaned. Well she has been having some other problems as well. I wanted to talk to the vet before we put her under to let her know what is going on with her. She has uncontrollable jerks when she hears loud noises. Like a water bottle crackling, or snapping your fingers. Anything like that. Anyways, Dr. Shed comes in the room and I explain to her what's going on. I even brought a water bottle with me to demonstrate the jerks to her. So she could see it with her own two eyes. So I show her the jerks and she completely dismisses my concerns and called my dog just a dramatic chihuahua. Ummm excuse me? I said no, I don't think that's the problem. She said well she's at the vet she's just scared and being dramatic. Seriously lady??? She does this when she's at home and has no reason to be scared. Just the sound of her lapping water out of her water bowl makes her do it. You mean to tell me that she's scared and being dramatic while she's at home just drinking water? I said I think it's a neurological thing. She said nope that's not it, she's just another dramatic chihuahua. Wow lady!!! Just completely disregarded everything I told her. I was so pissed. Anyways we went ahead and had her teeth cleaned. My little girl really needed it and we already had everything set up. Well they absolutely raked me over the coals on the bill. I specifically asked them not to test her for heart worms. She just had that done at an emergency appointment a couple months ago. They did it anyways. They charged me 50$ for that 5 minute talk with the vet. (That I got nothing but frustration from) For an office visit. Seriously? I just wanted them to be aware of what's going on with her before you put her under, and I get whacked 50$ for that? The bill was almost 600$ for a teeth cleaning. Good grief man. What a joke. Anyways I found another vet and told them the situation and they had me come in. I showed her the bloodwork paperwork that I got from Baxter county. I crackled the water bottle for her and she immediately goes that's definitely not being dramatic. Looks like audiogenic myoclonic seizures to me. What a breath of fresh air that was! So we are started her on some meds for it. She seems to be doing so much better! I will never and I mean never take another animal to this clinic. If you can't take the time to listen to your customers about an animal that they live with every single day then I don't think that a place I want to take my animals anymore. Now I'm sure they have done a great job for some people. This is my experience. I almost felt as if I was a burden to her. For me and my pets we will be STAYING AWAY FROM THIS VET!!!

We never had a chance to speak with her directly since putting our dog to sleep. Any info she has is not directly from me, but rather what she was told from her manager and tech. The day I received my ashes back and after no calls being returned from Judy's I did say I should make a website to explain to the area that Judy's did us wrong. I also said I would file a complaint with the BBB too. Again, against Judy's for not returning all my dogs ashes. The day we spoke with the manager and was told we at least have some of our dog back and after she would not entertain any possible change in who they use for cremations I said I would write a yelp to explain this situation. I do not do things without first trying to fix the issues and the person being reviewed know it's coming first. As far as "picketing" the clinic, I did say I should park across the street and picket. Yes I did say that after I learned we were cancelled and my dog was suffering from red bumps on his anus. Also after breaking down in tears on the phone begging to be seen. I have no idea what months of problems are. I guess if you count the two months between losing one dog and needing medical attention for the other. In those two months we were allowed to come in and buy flea meds and heart worm meds. Who would have thought we were not allowed back? Attached is the letter I received. Just for transparency. I guess this ends my review and story with these folks. I hope this helps anyone avoid this grief when losing a loved one. I will always say Dr Niess is a great vet, medically wise. The staff is nice. Just don't complain about something so serious as this or you will be cancelled.

The vet, Dr. Smith, heard our story, looked at a picture of my dogs stool and seemed a bit off and asked why didn't any other vet give us meds for our dog and said it was obvious colitis. After he offered meds he then stated he is the owner of Animal Health Center. That was my dogs old vet until they cancelled us due to a review and the truth about Judy's Crematory services we had problems with after putting my service dog to sleep. He said because of my complaints we are not welcome there either. He did however at least give us the meds our dog needed. He said since I had been to two vets and was still looking for another vet service to help diagnose my dog I would be a problem. Is it wrong to go to a hospital to see about advanced imaging? He gave meds we didn't get elsewhere but held it against me that I kept trying for my dog. Sorry I care about my dog and will fight and pay to get him whatever care he needs. I tried to give our side of the story, he didn't want to hear it. He stated vets are busy and don't have the time to deal with issue like mine. Maybe just people like me? Actually made a veiled threat about how he isn't as nice as Dr Niess. A few times at that. I honestly think if he wasn't talking to a 300 lb 6'1" man he would have been more of an ass / bully. My wife noticed his attitude so it wasn't just me. She said she felt threatened by the way he stared her down more than once while clenching the desk so hard his knuckles turned white. The lady from SF that reviewed him was probably right. Actually had the owner of the vet office face to face and he had zero interest in the problem with my dogs ashes being less than half of the proper amount. Said they use Judy's for years. I guess that makes her honest and professional despite the evidence against that. Amazed but not surprised.

I live out of town and brought my 6-month-old puppy here for a simple nail trim. Unfortunately, it…read morewas one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I understand puppies can be nervous, but I was shocked by how my dog was handled. She was forced onto her side while she was squirming, and then another employee came over, grabbed her collar and twisted it to try to make her stay still. I was seconds away from taking my puppy and walking out. They said they would try again, but the second attempt wasn't any better. They also told me, "It's the owner's fault for not having a calm, trained dog." My puppy is only six months old and is still learning. I expected patience, guidance, and gentle handling--not blame. To make matters worse, one employee also said, "We probably won't ever see you again, so this won't be a problem next time." After all of this, they wanted to prescribe medication to calm my puppy for future nail trims. From what I witnessed, the issue wasn't my puppy--it was the way she was being handled. Animals deserve to be treated with patience, gentle handling, and low-stress techniques whenever possible, especially young puppies who are still building confidence. If you bring your pet here, I strongly encourage you to stay and watch how your animal is treated. I hope this review encourages the clinic to improve its handling techniques and training so other pets and their owners don't have a similar experience.
