"Great place to get your lincese"

"This place is HORRIBLE!!! I can't even fully describe the extent to which this place put my pet in danger by treating her for something that they never should have even done....& they did two surgical procedures...& I asked if they could put her on antibiotics in the meantime because I was pretty sure I knew what it was, having talked to a friend who was a retired vet & some other individuals... They wouldn't!!! So a coupla thousand dollars later, my poor baby was still suffering & they kept insisting on more invasive procedures.... When all it ended up taking when I took her elsewhere was the antibiotics & 1.5 days for her to start being her old self! Meanwhile they put her through 2 weeks of pain & 2 risky procedures.... All completely unnecessary because of their greed!!! It makes me wonder how many other times we allowed them to do procedures on our pets because they knew how much we absolutely loved & adored them.... Sssoooo our bills always ended up being astronomical!!! They'd alwayz find something! I still remember walking out of their offices after just getting shots for three dogs....& not even the 3 year vaccines....& it ended up costing seven hundred and something dollars just for partial shots!!! YES REALLY!!!! But after we got antibiotics for our dog from another vet & she recovered so fast...& they had wanted to do more invasive procedures... It was the VERY LAST STRAW FOR US!!! I don't mind paying for good care if it is good necessary care!!! So I sent my husband in to pick up all our babies' records... I don't suffer liars well....& greed ticks me off.... Itz no wonder we have over 12,000 animals put down by animal control in this county every year; people can't afford to get their pets fixed... We had a quote of $1000-1500 to get one of our baby's fixed.... And if it would've followed the pattern they prolly would've charged $3000.... Itz all just complete insanity!!! One thing I must say tho.... There is a sweet lady that works the front desk.... She's been there forever... We loved her and she she was really awesome with our babies, but at some point they started refusing to give us appointments with her! They started scheduling appointments with some male vet....& he is the one who would run our bill up & cause unneeded pain to our babies by doing unnecessary procedures! That almost seems sadistic to me on top of greedy!!! Yeah, needless to say, after YEARS w/Dogwood....& recommending them to everyone we knew.... We are now doing the opposite....& getting the people we got to go there to switch to new vets....& steer everyone else away from them!!!! I hate cruelty to animals & some of these people definitely are!!!"
