    Firstly, I do want to thank the veterinarians and techs for caring for my beloved dog and bringing…read moreher back to health. I believe their medical skills are sound. But, I question the financial ethics of this establishment. Also, because I'm here, I will mention that the receptionist was cold and rude. I thought I was just being sensitive but my partner independently commented on it later. I came out sobbing and she shoved some papers at me and walked away. In that stack of papers was a DRN. I really hope most pet parents get some kind of warning or verbal preparation that they are about to have to sign an invoice and also make a decision about whether their pet gets resuscitated or not. That was truly foul. Now, I understand ER vet care is costly. I understand that it is not the fault of the staff that systemically there is a problem with the price of vet care. But, if you participate in the practice of upcharging people in their most vulnerable moments then you are behaving unethically. I am now in more than $5,000 worth of debt from one visit. My dog needed fluids and antibiotics. So, yep, I went from just having gotten out from under credit card debt through debt consolidation and hard work to a crushing 5K worth of debt in one day. Because she needed intravenous fluids and broad spectrum antibiotics. That's all she needed. In the moment I said yes to every single thing on the invoice they presented me with. But, now, that my dog is not potentially dying from dehydration/vomiting in front of me, I can confidently say not all of those interventions were needed. They could have started with fluids and antibiotics and went from there. I already had labs, an ultra-sound and health data on her status from my regular vet from that day. But, we had to re-do all of that. Did we though? Was it necessary? I don't believe so. I was told my bill would be from 12-20k if she needed surgery. If that had been the case I would not have been able to pay for it. Our pets are going to die because the cost of vet care has gotten so out of hand. These prices are predatory.

    Where to begin...we inherited a dog from a family member who passed away. He's a normally up beat…read moredog but took a turn around Mid December in not eating. We took him to our vet and got him tested for cancer, got an RX for some antibiotics and other anti nausea meds but the doggy had not been eating at all so it was tough AF. On New Years Day he was not doing well at all so we made the decision to visit here. It was traumatic for us since he rapidly declined and the cancer diagnosis was still pending. The took him back and said his lymph nodes were enlarged and the mass in his chest was concerning (that's what was tested by the other vet). They told us that taking him in for 49-72 hr observation plus the tests that they would recommend would be around $5500. But, they advised they would do the exact same tests the other vet did a few days earlier and it would still take some time to get the results. Nevertheless, we weighed our options and only paid for the consultation & they obliged it was likely the best call and supported our decision. The pup actually ate some food and drank some water while we were there so it was a welcomed surprise. A few days later on the 5th our vet gave us the diagnosis of lymphoma which crushed us...however, without getting some reinforcement on our decisions from the VCA we would have been pretty bad off tbh. We appreciate their honesty and assistance. The doggy is still with us but he is slowing down so it will be time eventually. Hug your animals folks!
