Central Spay Neuter and Wellness Clinic

I brought my one year old pit bull here to get neutered. Back information he is a hyper dog but does not bite or show any signs of aggression and he is on anxiety meds because he has separation anxiety. He always had two broken nails from a previous injury. The vet is supposed to read over his chart prior to appt. My instructions were to bring him in on an empty stomach. Well when we get there the vet was under the assumption I gave my dog his anxiety medication. He was not given them because I was told prior to the appt he could not have food or water so I would assume not to give him his medication that is NOT taking daily if the vet hasn’t reached out telling me otherwise. They did not read his chart till that morning when I got there so they had no time even communicate that medication was needed. They then proceeded to have us sit in the car for an hour waiting for the doctor to show up to jump right into surgery because this is the protocol for anxious hyper dogs. I understood this but then I was asked to bring him back inside to be sedated for surgery 45 minutes later. I get him out the car and the nurse makes my anxious hyper dog and I stand out in the cold for 5 minutes while she let other people bring in their dogs. This resulted in my dog injuring his already broken nails because of the stress. Once we got him inside all the vets/nurses were terrified of him and I was then told “if you think he will bite you we don’t need this but can you put the pill in his mouth” I then proceeded to give my NON-aggressive dog the pill. Well I’m getting more and more aggravated because this was supposed to be drop off and now have been here for an hour. My dog goes back out to the car for the sedation to kick in and it does immediately! I ask the vet if he can be left now because he is falling over in my backseat and couldn’t even hold up his head there was no way he could be anxious at this point of sedation. I was told no that this is the protocol and I have to keep waiting for the doctor that is doing the surgery. I then waited another 15 minutes and at that point my dog was barely able to walk in the building. So I leave him for surgery and was told he would be getting early pick up because of his anxiety, well okay great that’s fine by me! I get a call about two hours after leaving him asking for me to come get him. I go out there with my boyfriend to get our dog and they ask me to wait 30 minutes there because my dog was too drugged up to even walk yet. Why was I called to get my dog if I was going to be asked to wait? This whole situation was poorly handled and if my dog hadn’t already been sedated I would have just left with him. I have been sending Village Way Vets picture updates of his incision would definitely recommend them!!! I know this is a problem within there office because at our normal vets never have we ever been treated in such a disgusting way. You definitely get what you pay for here.

This place is incredibly easy to work with and professional at a really low price point. Very organized for the whole process and took great care of the pup. Will be taking all of our animals here from now on!

Would recommend this clinic- they have spayed/neutered two of my animals. No issues with healing & great communication. I also bring my dogs here for vaccines.

I had such high hopes for getting my pupper into the clinic for a spay. Background on my dog: she’s 5.5yo, a bully breed, allergic to everything outside, and had a stress induced stomach ulcer back in October. I was told by 4 different vets (she has a regular but with the ulcer, she ended up at an emergency hospital and saw multiple other vets) that she needed to be spayed ASAP. I agreed (my last dog passed from pyometra) and was planning on getting her fixed come the new year. This was to ensure she had time to heal. I waited for the January spots to open and jumped at the chance to get her in for a cheaper price because $2,000 in unexpected vet bills is tough. Anyway, I receive a call the next day from the clinic saying she was denied. She was denied because of her age(she’s under 6 like they require), her breed(she’s not a brachycephalic breed), and because of her past health issues(which are resolved now). I *might* can understand the hesitation of spaying her with her having had an ulcer but because of her age?? Her BREED?? Sounds discriminatory to me and I’m not pleased at all. Cheap doesn’t always mean better.
