For Pet's Sake

I was scrambling to find a vet that would see my very sick rabbit on short notice. They were able to get her in the same day that I called. Unfortunately, it ended up being necessary to put her to sleep. Dr. Burchfield was so, so nice and explained every step of the process before she did anything. She gave us time in between each step to spend with my rabbit and mentally prepare for what was about to happen. She made this awful situation as easy as it could have been. She is extremely compassionate and a wonderful vet.

A better name for this place would be For Money's Sake. This avian and exotic veterinarian's sole purpose is to make money. I have a guinea pig who's almost 5. He was having issues with bloat and constipation. His usual veterinarian was not in so as a last resort I took him to For Pet's Sake. The fee was 150 and I didn't mind that. But, the treatments for him were going to be nearly 700 dollars. I knew that was ridiculous because his usual veterinarian has the same medicine, same treatments, and same equipment and charges 100 or less for all the same treatments. When I said no and that I would take him to his regular vet, the attitudes of the staff were very rude and cold. I feel badly that I even left my baby there in the first place. For Pet's Sake is the reason guinea pigs and other small animals are treated terribly and abused. Because of places like this one guinea pigs are left to die in pain and agony because people either can't or refuse to pay 100s of dollars for a cute rodent. If For Pet's Sake really cared about pets, especially small animals they would lower their prices so they could help small animals instead of hurting them. To all the animals activists out there, please band together to stop business like this from hurting and killing poor guinea pigs and other small animals. Together we can save our small animal friends one little one at a time.

My parrots nail was bleeding and I called many vet hospitals and they all said they didn’t treat parrots or that we had to make a appointment. I found this place and they immediately said I could come in and they were very nice and caring for my bird.

I brought my bearded dragon, Salsa, here for a wellness checkup. I’d been having such difficulties finding good reptile veterinarians around, and I was hopeful of the good reviews I saw here. Needless to say, the visit went fantastic! You can tell the folks here have a true passion for exotic animals, and are very knowledgeable and capable of answering questions to help put their client’s fears to rest (especially helpful for a first-time dragon owner like me). I highly recommend For Pet’s Sake for all exotic animal keepers. I plan to schedule a visit here for my yellow-belly slider sometime soon, as this is definetly gonna be vet of choice for my reptiles going forward. :)

I have been to a half dozen vets that treats exotic animals such as Parrots and Chinchillas, and they are definitely the best Vets when it comes to knowledge, care, and a very organized receptionist and records department. They will call you and remind you that your checkup is coming up and the Vet will call you a few days later asking how your pet is doing. Very thoughtful and caring.
