Caring Critters Animal Hospital

Recently I had taken one of my dogs to Carimg Critters Animal Hospital. The first dog I took is an Ausie mix that is very flighty and frightened. My dog Patches responded so well to the care and kindness that the staff gave her. They were so patient with her and she responded to their kindness.
The second of my beloved pets to seek care was my Chow Mix. She had a very serious medical issue that needed corrective surgery to remove a HUGH stone in her bladder. Dr. Zimmerman and her staff could not have been more concerned and caring to myself and my pet. The surgery went well, and Cya no longer has issues urinating. Dr. Zimmerman even called me well after 7pm last night to give me the results off Cya's lab speciman.

Saved our dog Aldo's life after he was kicked in the head by our horse. Helped us too with their calm and professionalism. A million thanks.

Absolutely agree! Dr. Zimmerman is the best...I would never take my three Peckingense to anyone else. Thanks to the entire staff. VERY GOOD JOB!

the business is shady, and the "care" was abusive. After

making an appointment for shots for two dogs, we were

treated to a two hour wait (why did we make an

appointment?). Then, were taken to a conference room to

discuss charges - where we were presented with a $600.00+

bill, which included a plethora of tests and treatments

that we did not ask for, followed by them arguing with us

about doing these tests - after we had made it clear that

this visit was for vaccinations so that the dogs can be

kenneled if needed.



After they finally realized that we weren't there to get

soaked, they agreed to the vaccinations we requested -

$87.00 per dog.



When we got the dogs into the room, the vet proceeded to

manhandle the dogs. she was so rough she had the smaller

dog crying out, which got our larger dog trying to

protect the smaller one, So they muzzled him for his

shots (he didn't try to bite, by the way) and then

manhandled him to the point where he was so tensed up

when she gave him the shots, she actualy remarked, " he's

going to be sore tomorrow, since he was so tense when I

gave him the shots".



My dogs are both experienced with going to the vet, and

other vet visits have never been like this. If my doctor

were to treat me like that, they'd probably need to put a

muzzle on me, too.



Needless to say, we're shopping for a new vet.

The staff in this hospital is without a doubt the most uneducated staff I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. The doctor's conduct; very unacceptable. I thought compassion was supposed to be part of this job!
