Do not go. I am beyond upset and mad. Went in to get a check up before scheduling a spay surgery. First 2 of the three kept sneaking up on her which any dog will react. She never lunged just growled and barked. She is doing a warning because you literally are sneaking up on her, she never been there before. My dog goes to pet well clinic for check ups and vaccines. Never a problem. I work at a dog daycare. She never gives problems there. She greets the customers with a wagging tail. He wouldn’t even look at her because first her age, too young. He read the year wrong. Then her weight. She was just at pet well clinic and they said perfect size. Then he said her breeds temperament and her temperament. She is a lab /border collie. Um excuse me? Then said she isn’t trained. She never lunged and she listened to me. My dog is very much trained. She got a bad vibe from them and I should’ve listened and just walked out. Probably since he is old he doesn’t want to do any surgery’s or scared of big dogs now. He did my chihuahua years ago and he has lots more attitude than my lab. He took care of my mom’s dog really well a while back. But this guy I have been having issues with for years. He always has an attitude. He did really good with surgery though so that’s why I would go back. But this is it. I will never recommend and never go back. I want to give others a warning before they go in.

Everyone but the vet himself was very nice. The vet on the other hand doesn't have that great of a bedside manner. I took him to very arrogant & a know it all. I went in there for 1 reason & he decided to blame me for things that "might" be wrong w/ my dog. I should have known something was just a little off, since I'd walk out w/ tears in my eyes because the woman before me came out of the room crying so hard she seemed to have a hard time catching her breath. Her poor dog kept yipping, what only could make me think the poor dog was in distress. He wasn't rude, just a little condescending. He wasn't TOO rough w/ my dog, but when he checked his anal glands, he has big hands, took his finger & fast as could be, shoved it so far up my dog's butt. Mind you, I have a small Maltese Terrier. My poor dog looked @ me like "Mom, Get me out of here." Although, I do appreciate being able to get my dog looked @ quickly, I don't think I'll be going back. The gentleman is an older man, can barely stand up to take care of the dog. I believe it's time for retirement.

We had to do the hardest thing a pet owner would ever have to do, we had put our dog Simba down due to him having seizures...they were the most compassionate staff ever!! I really appreciate them for being so understanding and helping him find peace even though it was heartbreaking...thank u so much....R.I.P baby boy

The doctor was direct, knowledgeable, and cracked one hell of a joke.
