Worst place ever, they got a very captive customer in this small town and lost all their bed side manner. Very expensive, don't count on them in case of emergency. Sorry to leave this review as we love plattsburg. I've had to drive to independence animal hospital twice now. All they care about is YOUR money.

We took our dog in for annual shots. I asked about worming and agreed to have it done. I watched the vet give our
80 lb dog 1 1/2 pills. Just for the worming the charge was $40. I found the same pills on petmeds.com for $12 a pill.

We have a male puppy who needed to be neutered, but his t___cles did not descend. I was told that normally they
charge $75, but this surgery would be $ 225. I agreed and had the surgery scheduled. Shortly after dropping him off, the vet called me to say that the surgery was very difficult and expensive. I replied that I was prepared to pay $225. He replied back "that's for each t__icle". I picked my dog up. They did not do the surgery. I called around to several
animal clinics and was quoted $100 - $165 for the surgery to include both t___cles! The higher amount was if the t___icles were still in his stomach. The puppy had other problems as well. The puppy was neutered (his t___icles were in his stomach), had his hip repaired (legg parthes), and a baby tooth pulled all at the same time and it cost me
a total of $ 350, which also included 3 days of boarding.

We took a horse in for a simple coggins test. This gelding is normally very calm for Dr. Taylor. This day the female vet was drawing the blood. As soon as she came out, we could tell that she was fearful of this horse. He could sense it too and would not allow her to get close to him. We ended up twitching him to get it done. We have always paid
$23 for this test, this time they also added an office call charge of $12.

The vet tech, Lisa, works very well with our dogs and horses, however she doesn't determine the charges. We would like to support the hometown business, however I think we are done dealing with the Animal Clinic. We have talked to
several others in town and they feel the same way. Unfortunately, they are pricing themselves out of business.

Quaint practice. Good service, fair prices. I love that they also have emergency on-call services 24-hours a day, 7 days a week.
