I was referred to Milford Animal Hospital for a neuter for my 14 month old Rottweiler. I am AMAZED that individuals who take an OATH to medicine - will PICK AND CHOOSE who they wish to provide care.



As soon as I mention I have a SNAP certificate, many vets back off (so then why even participate in the program?). I am with a limited income and I am trying to do RIGHT by this dog that was abandoned by my ex fiance when he left. I did not want this dog - but it was not the dogs choice to be left behind by his true owner.



To Dr. Hellers credit (hence the one star) they were willing to move forward. BUT then I explained he is a 14 month old Rottweiler. Apparently vets do not like neutering large dogs either as this has been a reason for some to back off. Maybe the MSPCA should promote neutering for your animal - with a disclaimer (UNLESS IT IS A LARGE DOG).



But, with the fact of size and SNAP they were going to arrange a date. (I guess because I agreed to the additional vet visit cost and the additional cost for the size). BUT THEN, we get to the part where my Rottweiler is crypto. So instead I got "well, we can't do it for awhile because Dr. Heller will be out of town, and he does not have to participate in the SNAP program, so we won't be able to help you".



WOW! Why does ANY Vet go into practice if you are going to be selective about the animals you treat and the income of those who seek treatment? So much for the love of animals and their well-being be the driving force. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

Dr. Heller and his staff have always treated our family pets with the utmost professionalism and kindness. They have provided me endless advice both in person and over the phone over the past couple of years, and I've never been anything less than completely satisfied. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone.
