Ranchwood Veterinary Hospital

I brought my Dog in for her annual checkup. I was ambushed with a bill of $550. I told the vet tech that I approve the annual wellness charge along with the rabies vaccination but I would talk to my wife to see about the other things they had listed out. I took a picture of the bill and sent it to my wife so we could discuss. I told them I will give a call shortly to let them know on the other items. My wife and I discussed all the charges on the bill and thought the prices were way off from what our friends and family pay at different vets. We decide to not do anything of the extra items they begged us to do because they said “that’s what is best for your dog.” We call and told them that we are not wanting them to do any of the other items. The rabies and the wellness check is all we want. The vet tech then told us that they have already given her 3 other vaccinations and those charges will have to be paid for. We did NOT give them authorization to do this. When we told them that we aren’t paying for those since we didn’t approve of them they said sorry but we can’t take it back. They never had me sign anything saying I approved and did the vaccines anyway. Unfortunately we are going to pull all 3 of our dogs from this vet. I recommend anyone looking at this vet to call and ask for price of the same services at other vets. You will be surprised on how much they are over charging here.

When I brought in a kitten that I found in a dumpster, they were so helpful and loving to him. They were just as shocked as I was about figuring out he was burned on top of everything else my nugget had. My nugget will be going to be seen there for now on. I wouldn't find another vet like Ranch wood Vet. Again they were very caring loving and helpful. Thank you so much and be seeing you soon with baby Nugget. God bless you all.

My dog was pooping and peeing blood. That wanted $450. I had $150 to pay and I would have the rest the next day (payday). They would not treat my baby. Soooo my assessment is they don't care about animals! They do care about the almighty dollar. I had been previously told they have a reputation for this kind of treatment. I just thought it was a rumor. Well it's true. For what it is worth...... I prefer to give my business to ppl who Love animals more than Money. Not sure how thay sleep at night.

Took my dog Bully there because she had an accident where her right back leg was broken in pieces. They did xrays and a check up. They told us we had three options: 1. To go to a specialist because she had her leg so broken and her column was damaged she could not walk properly and she wasn’t eating. 2. To amputate the leg and maybe she will be fine. 3. To euthanize her and save all the money and pain. When we asked if we could take her home and enjoy a last day with her, she said no. Because it will be too traumatic for us and why prolongue the inevitable. Of course we took her to another vet in Mexico. I drove all the way over there (12hrs) and he saved my dog. She is doing fine now. Running with my other dogs in our new home in Indiana. The vet there was so pushy for euthanasia even though Bully was doing ok. Would only go for vaccines. Nothing else. Also, we did the heart worm test on two of my dogs and they didn’t want to give me the prescription to go somewhere else. Expensive as hell but if you have another option, go somewhere else.
