Wow, I read that whole thing and it sounds very similar to an experience I had at my first vet. The place was dirty, the receptionist was rude, I had to wait forever, and nothing was ever fully explained to me about what they were doing. And at the end of the appointment they wouldn't even follow up on what shots my dog needed next or anything.

So i later took Abbey back to get a rabies shot and they also gave her other shots with it!! Needless to say, Abbey got very ill and when I called for help they were rude and offered no help (I got help from YT!! Thank god.) After that, I knew I needed to switch.

I searched and searched and found an EXCELLENT vet. They have on site grooming, they specialize in smaller breeds, and were so friendly. When I walked in they greeted me and Abbey, gushed about how adorable she was, and asked tons of questions.

They vet was great too, she took extra time to answer any and all questions and welcomed more. The place was emaculate clean too. I told them about how Abbey reacted to her shots and they even offered to watch her all day for free bc I had work!!! The vet also took time to formally introduce me to the on site groomer and give me a tour. The groomer there even specializes in puppies.

Now, this is a lot of info but it just is to show that the first vet (just like the one you saw) was UNACCEPTABLE and their are vets out there that truly care about animals AND their owners. That's how it should be. So don't give up and keep looking and hopefully you will hit the jackpot like me. This new vet is more pricey but worth it. I would NEVER have left Abbey for surgery at the old one but I have her scheduled to be spayed at this new one and feel much more at ease about it.

And, no you didn't overreact, I actually COMMEND you for walking outta there! I wish I had left that first vet sooner.
