Have been here twice over the years. Both times have waited in the exam room for over 4 hours. Be prepared to spend all day or all night here. Not sure why it takes them longer than any other vet clinic!

Says it’s 24/7 and the emergency phone number no one ever answers called so many times and the line just rings so how are you supposed to get ahold of anyone when you have a pet emergency 🚨 had to drive 2 hrs to get help cause this 24 hour vet never answered

The staff all seemed really nice! The prices are outrageous due to the economy we're currently in, I feel it's not realistic for many to pay these prices. They came out before anyone had explained the situation for my MIL's cat and had a form she needed to sign IF he needed to be "stabilized" which was a flat rate of $750. The cat had a UTI, (which we had figured out and caused us to bring him in) so to stabilize him he would have needed a catheter, pain medication, fluids, and monitoring. The flat rate doesn't include keeping the animal overnight or any additions that your pet may need. You would have to choose between health care for your pet and groceries for a family of 5 for at least 1 month just to "stabilize" your pet. The person we spoke with stated that if they "stabilized" him, and continued care to resolve the blockage he would be there for potentially 2 or more days, and estimated the cost to get him healthy again to be between $5000-$7000. As sad as it is, she couldn't afford that cost to keep a stray cat rescued as a kitten alive and had to choose humane euthanasia, especially since his chance of developing another blockage becomes much higher after the first time. I saw so many young families that I can't imagine have $1000+ to spare for unexpected pet care bills. 💔 I realize it's a pet owners responsibility to care for their pet should something come up, however I highly doubt most pet parents are prepared for this kind of expense and would have no choice but to put down a beloved pet because they can't afford emergent care costs and to get ongoing care after the animal was stable.

VCA facility was very helpful, the Dr., and staff helped guide us through letting go of our beloved cat of 12 years. He will be missed. Love you Noche!

Price Gouging to the Max, we as pet owners and lovers have no choice but to scrape up the funds to pay their fees. I know they work hard I know they see heartbreak everyday but they're desensitized to the people that bring in their pets and the financial hardship it is when they know they have to bring it to a veterinarian clinic like this one. I don't want to take away from the staff and the employees and veterinarians they were all kind and friendly. But I waited way too long and was charged too much money for a dog with a sinus infection and I won't be back God willing not to that place..
