I appreciate the care they provide for my pets.
But, I am very particular when it comes to prices, markups and knowing what I am spending. I often ask for vets to write out prescriptions because I know I can usually get them filled elsewhere for a much lower price. On my last visit where I asked for this, I was given the run around and told the price is the same wherever I go.
So, because I was not in the mood to dispute the subject, I went on and paid to get the pills from the vet. However, I did call the Walmart that I pass going to/from the vet to see if they carried the prescription. Not

I've generally felt quite good about interactions with the doctors for my dog regarding knowledge and that they care but more and more often there is poor communication or disorganization with the staff. Notes left out of my dog's file - particularly regarding medication (so when I call for a refill, no one seems to know what I'm talking about), promises to get back to me with information only to never hear anything, etc. I don't if they've been short-staffed for the past 3-5 years when these problems have picked up or what but it definitely concerns me that something in my dog's treatment could

The veterinarian overall was very good and very informative. But I felt we were really over charged ($240) for a cat examination, rabies shot, and flea medicine. The veterinarian indicated the cat was fine but yet recommended several tests which seemed unnecessary. I feel they prey on peoples love of their pets in order to increase the bill. Very sad and disappointing.

The staff and our doctor were very courteous kind and the doctor was very knowledgeable in explaining our situation with our dog. Great place to take your pets.
