  Horrible vets. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PETS HERE! very unprofessional, was quoted an amount for my dogs treatment, then when I got there was asked for another $600 cash upfront. My dog died within 6 hours of being in this vets care. No receipts given to me, no proof of treatment. wouldn't call this place a vet, horrible people. Shouldn't be open.

  Took my cat to be desexed. They tried telling me my cat wasnt microchipped. Took her to a differebt vet after desexing and sure enough she was chipped. Also tried charging me for vaccinations when she already had her shots 2 months prior. Will not be taking my animals there again.

  To begin with, the staff (both vets and nurses) were rude. There was no water or treats inside the clinic for pets. Scales were inaccurate for weight of animals (confirmed this later on). Incorrect shots were given for our adult dog and puppy. The vet confused the vaccination cards for both of our dogs - he was reffering to our adult male whilst reading our puppy's vaccination card and pointing to her. He then proceeded to come out with a shot - which we believed was for our puppy because he didn't believe she had the particular shot, and began to give it to our adult male. We explained that he was viewing the wrong card and that we also hoped he did not give the animal the wrong shot, and that our puppy missed out on a vital vaccination. He explained that our adult male needed it, despite realising that he had read the wrong card. I asked if we were going to be charged for the wrong shot (which is what he intended, prior to saying "it was an added bonus for him). Fortunately, after confronting them, we were not charged for the unnecessary shot. In conducting the consultation, the vet was rough with the animals - like nothing we have ever seen before. We were asked to conduct duties to the extent of the vet nurse (assisting with the consult) - it seemed that administrative duties were more of a priority to assisting with the consult, despite having 3 vet nurses working, an empty waiting room and one vet working. Our adult male German Shepherd has never had hip and elbow issues, and we later confirmed that there are no issues present with our regular vet. However, the vet at the clinic stated that he is beginning to develop hip issues (at 2 years old) - despite having good hip and elbow scores, and good previous check ups. He extended the legs beyond what any vet has previously done, which caused pain and discomfort. We believe that this may have been a ploy to get us to invest more unnecessary money to fund what ever scam of a business they are operating. To put things simply as both a customer and a pet owner: I only gave them one star because I was required to in order to review this. From the pet owner perspective, if this place was the last vet clinic on Earth, I would rather try to study the practice myself rather than take my animals back. They have been more distressed in the past 24 hours than I have ever seen.
