Well, first of all, they didn't have a file for Archie...they had his info on index cards. And every time we went, there was a different vet, and one even lost his info and was about to give him his shots again. I don't even think that some of the "vets" were actually vets.
I also found it really messy and the people at the front desk didn't even pay attention to the fact that there were people there. It was kids at this front desk!
And finally, I didn't like the fact that there was a client there who hit her dog everytime the dog looked in the direction of my dog. The exam room was messy and the whole place looked very shady. I talked to the guy who owned it and he said to me that he did have a deal with the pet stores to be their vet. When I asked him about food, he told me to feed Archie "whatever." When I tried to look up the vet's qualifications, I could hardly find anything online.
I take Archie to Bellerose Animal Hospital. Archie has one vet there, and the vets there are very qualified. I had taken my cat there. It's very clean, they're really attentive and answer all your questions. They encourage you to call them for anything, and when I got Archie neutered, they even let me go in the back and they showed me the whole procedure, and where he would be staying, etc. Also, one very important thing for me was that when he did stay overnight after his neutering, they had a nurse on duty through the night. It feels more like a pediatrician's office than a vet's office! I talked to the vet about Archie's food, and she really answered my questions and even asked me questions about what he's eating, how his eating habits are, etc. I hear that North Shore in Bayside is very good, as well. |
