Report
Our Sr. dog had a life threatening illness. My husband brought him over in the morning and Dr.Tuller did all tests and xrays. She suggested we bring him to SAVES emergency in Leb. Dr. Tuller actually RODE IN OUR CAR WITH US - administering emergency medicine to our dog and met with the doctors at SAVES. Both concluded that surgery was available but it would greatly effect our dog's quality of life so we had to let him go. As sad as it was, what Vet would actually ride in your car with you and administer emergency meds to your dog, trying to keep him alive while you were on the way to the emergency

Report
My Akita is a handfull. They said we know the breed. When the vet says lets try medications to calm her down on a trial. Well she was out of it the night before and would not move. I was not going to give her even more the next day. I checked the paperwork and nothing about no service if all the meds where not taken it was a trial not mandatory said the vet. Then not even give or attempt to give her a shot. Lack of communication and that is why she is fired as my vet.

They took in my seriously injured duck last week at a moments notice. After one week, he’s acting happy again and so so much better. Thank you all so much for loving my Larry!!

Although they seem to be knowledgeable about animal care and service, the Bradford Veterinary Clinic has not been available when weve needed them the most. Sure, scheduled check ups have not been an issue, but in situations where our dog has needed immediate care or an unscheduled check, (things that, for the most part, are not serious enough to take to emergency care) they are never able to help and we are told that they are too busy to see our dog. Then we are advised to drive 45+ minutes to the nearest emergency care facility. I dont know if they have the proper amount of staff to keep
