Hello. Mollie here. I would like to file an official…read morestatement regarding Grant Veterinary Care. Let's start with the facts: 1. I was not there for fun. 2. There were no treats. 3. I had mastitis. 4. I was deeply offended by all of it. I arrived uncomfortable, slightly grumpy, and prepared to object to everything. This was not a "happy tail" visit. This was a "something is wrong and I feel 0% fabulous" situation. And yet. The humans there were calm. Gentle. Respectful of my personal bubble (which was very important because I was tender and not in the mood). The doctor examined me carefully and didn't rush. My human looked relieved, which matters because when my human relaxes, I relax. No one called me dramatic. Even though I was a little dramatic. Which was justified. They explained what was happening, gave me medicine to fix the situation, and treated me like I was more than just "a case." I was a patient. A brave, slightly irritated, very good patient. Was it fun? No. Was it necessary and handled with care? Absolutely. Five stars. Because even when I felt awful and there were no snacks involved, they took good care of me. I still expect compensation in the form of extra belly rubs at home. -- Mollie

I had an extremely upsetting experience at this clinic. First of all, they apparently did not…read moreproperly confirm whether my cat was male or female before the procedure, and my male cat ended up with an incision on his stomach. None of this was explained or mentioned to us beforehand. What made the situation even more frustrating was the vet having the fucking audacity to describe my cat as "mean" after everything he had just been through. I expected much better communication, professionalism, and care from a veterinary clinic. I am extremely concerned about my cat's well-being after this experience, and if he suffers any complications as a result of what was done, I will absolutely be looking into my legal options.

I cannot sing the praises of the BAH staff enough. I've been taking my pup there for about eight…read moreyears now and they have always exceeded my expectations with his care. Over the years, my pup has been treated by Dr. Barker, Dr. Perkins, and Dr. Shields. All of whom have always provided caring, gentle care. The vet techs and assistants are equally as wonderful and seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. During the eight years that my pup has been a patient he has been through some pretty gnarly situations and the BAH team has been unfaltering in their care and treatment of both my pup and my myself. I highly recommend checking out the wellness programs that they offer. I have a wellness plan for my pup and it has saved me loads of money over the years and brings me peace of mind when needing to get my pup in for a quick, last minute vet exam for whatever unforeseen situation we find ourselves in. The wellness program is also excellent when it comes to dental cleanings! I've had my pups teeth cleaned yearly with them and am so grateful for it. Improper/poor dental hygiene is detrimental to our creatures, especially as they age. 10/10 recommend Barker Animal Hospital.

I began coming to Barker about a year ago because it was so difficult to get an appointment with my…read moreusual vet. One of Barkers strong points is they do get you an appointment quickly and will even do telehealth appointments. The quality of care is very good. I only rated a "3" for two reasons. One is the expense of their care. Secondly, is difficulty getting prescriptions. Barker has their own online pharmacy. I use a different online pharmacy to save money. Their policy is not to call in prescriptions. So, I have to go in person, pick up script, mail to pharmacy, and hope it arrives before my supply runs out. Another slightly inconvenient practice is you have to wait in your car with your pet until they contact you to come inside for your appointment. My dog is very anxious in the car. But overall I would recommend this vet practice.

Today we had to go back as our puppy had diarrhea and vomiting. Every single person in that office was so friendly despite having to clean up the mess our puppy made as soon as we came in.

It is upsetting to me to have to even write this review because every other staff at this clinic…read morebesides the front greeter is amazing. But after having 3 different awful experiences with this woman I cannot stay silent. My first encounter with her that went awfully was when I had brought me and my moms new puppy and intended to carry him so he did not have a leash since I was conscious about him touching the floor and carts being I did not know how well they had been cleaned and he had no vaccines yet and I was unsure if his mother had any vaccines. She spoke down to me once again, forcing me to put a slip lead on him and put him in a cart despite me being uncomfortable with this.  The next time we had been late on our puppies vaccines and he had to restart his vaccine course to which this woman spoke down to me and my mother about how if we had come in earlier he wouldn't have had to restart and in general was rude and nasty.  This last experience that I had yesterday is by far the worst and inexcusable. My personal dog who is human reactive had been muzzled bc he is large and scary when he barks but has 0 bite history. I stood with him near the door to try and catch the woman and ask her about where we should stand because my dog sometimes barks at people. when she came out she very rudely told me people had been waiting and I couldnt cut in line. I expressed that i was trying to alert her to my dog and keep him from people to which he is reactive. She told me she would have to help the others first and that the line started in the back. I assured again that was fine and she started helping people to which my dog started screaming because he saw another dog and got excited so she told me to go wait on the other side. I moved me and my dog to the other side of the door behind a pillar and was giving him treats and praise for ignoring the people and dogs. She came back to told me I needed to wait around the other side of the building all the way at the end and she would get me. I waited out there for 20-30 minutes crying because she made me feel shamed for trying to properly keep my dog under control and everyone comfortable. My mother ended up coming to help me speak to someone because of the treatment and we went straight back to the manager to speak yo him and were placed in line. When we walked in she tried to make an excuse that she somehow didnt know I was waiting outside despite her telling me to wait there. Everyone was amazing and helped us perfectly fine until my mother was trying to check out at the front with some items she was purchasing and heard the front desk woman telling other customers to "watch out for the girl and her mom with the muzzle dog who was lunging at others" to which my mom had an argument with her and left. My mom called me and informed me she was up there speaking about us and the woman standing in line next to us informed me that she had also been given the same warning about me and my dog and I alerted the manager of this. As I was leaving she was once again speaking about me and my dog If you look at any other negative review of this clinic it mentioned this woman and her repeated behavior like this. So this begs the question: are some dogs inherently less deserving of vet care because of their reactivity and does this woman get to decide?

I have been going to this clinic for a decade but will no longer be going here because recently…read morethey stopped letting pet owners go w/their pets to receive vaccines which I find to be highly suspect. The big reason though is they would only sell me 6mo. worth of heartworm medication when I normally buy a years worth because it is cheaper that way. The want me to pay for 2 tests a year when no other vet in this country does that. Of course they did not tell me this until AFTER doing the test so now I am forced to pay for it. My dog has NEVER lapsed on his tests or medications so there is NO REASON for them to not sell him a years worth of medication. This is VERY SHADY business & I wonder if it is fraud. I will be looking into it.
