Report
I went in there to get a price to have my dogs teeth cleaned
before I was there 5 minutes , I got a list of everything she
wanted to do aside from what i was there for...... plus a bill before she did anything
because I walked out when she told me she wanted over 500 dollars
this place has got problems, unless you have more money than brains
