I paid nearly $300 for a routine check up and two immunizations for our dog. A few weeks later I decided to take her somewhere else for a recommended procedure and asked for my records at which time they refused to share them with me. Apparently, they claim they undercharged me for my almost $300 dollar visit and wanted another $200 before they would release my dogs records. I told them it was dishonest but got nowhere.

Our sweet boy hurt his foot and they got him right in, followed up continually and took excellent care of him. Gouda was cared for by Dandy Acres while in foster and before he was adopted by us. They took exceptional care of him and understand him better than anyone. Chris is wonderful! We are very grateful to have them to take care of our baby.

I have been a client for 6 years with my 2 dogs and a cat. The service the last couple of years has been sub par if not unacceptable. The wait times are 30-40 minutes past your appointment and they rake you thru the coals anyway they can. This place once was a professional, reputable veterinarian. Not anymore. Running a clown show! Sayonara Dandy acres! You have lost my business and others to come!
