It seems everytime I have used these people THEY JUST WANT MORE MONEY. CALLED for grooming!!! They want a full exam of my dog. AND now require a two set shot for DOG INFLUENZA??? This series is expensive. My Dog is current on all shots. My Vet gave him a full yearly exam in SEPTEMBER 6TH. That's why I quit using them years ago. Money, money, money.

They blamed my cat for being aggressive and failed to diagnose early onset of glaucoma. They would not allow me in the appointment with my cat, who was disoriented and very stressed and frightened.
