I effuse to rate this vets office, unless there was I would never bring my pet to this vet ever again option.... I have taken my dog there 2 times and this time was worse than the first visit. this visit went from nervous to what the hell did I bring my fur baby to.... my dog was due for his rabies vac. booster and DLHP booster, so we made an appt. went in and we had some things we were concerned about, so when we were called back to see the vet, we waited a short time and he made his appearance, and came in as if it was the last place he wanted to be, well he asked what was going on and we explained about our concerns of excessive potting and water consumption, the first thing out of his mouth was canine diabetes and blood work, well of course, also we had concerns about his past prostate troubles, so he takes a needle a jabs my dog in his belly and my dog jumps ( as if that was not to be expected) the "vet" jumps 10 feet backwards leaving this needle dangling from my dog's belly, then pulls it out and proceeds to jab him again this time apparently getting what he was after, ( we never had a chance to ask or to stop him) so he then listens to his heart and lungs and comments about how nervous and highly strung my dog is, WELL YOU THINK?! AFTER WHAT YOU JUST DID TO HIM???!!! so now he says I will me take him to get some blood drawn on him, so his "robotic nurse" takes my baby into another room as the vet follows... and then we hear "YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN LITTLE BUDDY!" THUMP! ( as if my dog has been flung down on a table) then a few secs. later here they come and the robotic nurse sits him on the table he jumps into my arms. I am so ready to just leave at this point I can't stand it, but we are there and my husbands wants to know what is wrong, but the "vet says he will not know until Monday, so he proceed to give my dog his booster shots and says I will call you Monday or you can call us. oh and take that dog for a walk he has a full bladder! THAT IS IT NO MORE INFO NO NOTHING NOT EVEN A CLUE AS TO ANYTHING? well my dog was fine until we took him in to see this vet we just had some concerns about his drinking and potting habits and Saturday night and my dog is sick and puking and bruised and sore and scared, and now it is Sunday and nothing much has changed except my now my dog will barely drink any water and will not et anything and stands and stares into space and acts as if he has lost his hearing and is totally confused, WHAT IN THE HECK DID THIS SO CALLED VET DO TO MY DOG?! SO NOW I AM TAKING MY DOG TO ANOTHER VET IN ANOTHER TOWN B/C I AM TO AFRAID TO TAKE HIM BACK TO THIS MAN WHO SAYS HE LOVES ANIMALS. IN MY OPINON DO NOT TAKE YOUR FUR BABY TO THIS VE UNLESS YOU JUST LIKE HURTING YOUR PET AND THROWING 200.OO OUT THE WINDOW!

I had to put my 2 cents in about the receptionist......

I've been going there for years. This lady loves animals and is very dedicated to her work. Now to speak of the "oddness" of her...who isn't odd in their own way. I have seen her handle the most hectic of situations with a polite and caring disposition. So please don't hesitate to bring your pet here.

She won't eat them! Ha!

Love the vet he is very compassionate and caring. But his receptionist is rude and strange. She seems to have a comment for everything, from pet names to "Oh your just now bring your pet in for shots ?". I find myself dreading dealing with her and am thinking about taking my pets else where. She is the only receptionist and has been there for many years. A shame I love the Dr and the rest of his staff.

I called this Vet because my puppy is very sick and possibly has Parvo. They quickly told me they had no Vet in on Wednesday and that they do not make payment arrangements for new clients. They recommended a few alternative Vets and also, told me to try the Stark County Humane Society. To no avail , I was to deal with this on my own. I thought Vets were people that loved all animals and would do what they could to help them. I am still waiting to see if my puppy is going to be alright. We are all going through hard financial times I would have thought they would have been more understanding I guess I placed my faith in the wrong people> I will pray for them. I wanted to add that I lost my Puppy on Thursday morning I had to have him put down. In this economic hardship that has touched the majority of us its hard to believe that a person who cares enough for animals that they practice that medicine could be able to turn someone away that was willing to pay but, just needed to have a little time. I realize they need to put food on there one table we all do. I am so sadden by the loss of my best friend. He may have only been here a short time but, he made a great impact on my life. I pray that you never lose a loved one because you couldnt afford to pay a bill. Thank God the Hospital doesnt do that or we would have a lot of funerals to attend. Rest in Peace my sweet little Piper and may God have mercy on yours and the peoples soul that helped carry you to where you are.
