A Pet's Place of Clearwater

"Dr Dan and his staff are awesome. I haven't had a pet in a while, but when I did, they took great care of my dog and cat. He was so kind and caring when I had to put my dog down."

"I have been going to Dr. Cowden for 2 to 3 years now. Today is the last time I will ever seek out his services. My dog was brought into his care around two weeks ago and was misdiagnosed with a bacterial skin infection under his tail. The medication didn’t work, and my dog wouldn’t stop biting himself. I discovered eggs, pus, and a burrowing infection from some sort of living thing. When I walked in to get my dog the help he needed this morning, Dr. Cowden was clearly insulted by the confrontation with his mistake. I had to push for him to consider the symptoms I spoke of. The only reason he became any bit more thorough was because his lovely vet tech Karina, who was actually taking me seriously before he ever thought to. My dog ended up being diagnosed with tape worms and given flea medication and cortisol spray all of that coming out to about $203. The best businesses I know on up to their mistakes and rectify them even if it means losing a little bit of time and money And humbling your ego. Dr. Cowden seems to have lost his true care for animals, because he is not thorough. The ironic part was that he had posters on his bulletin board showing pictures of parasites that were in humans transferred to them by their dog, and how “The best doctor is a veterinarian because their patients can’t answer their questions. They just have to know.” Maybe that was true at some point, but Dr. Caden has lost his touch. If he really cared about doing a good job he would’ve owned up to his mistake. I strongly do not recommend Dr. Couden. Last point. I still don’t know if my dog got the right treatment. The vet didn’t examine a skin sample or anything. Update: from the one star ratings that I am reading currently, it seems like there is a common problem with antibiotic pushing. When we were looking at his tail, which was hard to do because he was in pain and kept moving, I asked him if he wanted me to point my flashlight on the area as we were all crowding over him to see and it was dark, but he said no. He did not take a close look at all. Incompetence comes from lack of care and that makes me livid."

"Dr. Cowden and Assistant Corina have been a great Combination of healthcare for our pets for over 20 years now. I would never think of going anywhere else. Thank you A Pets Place"

"My cat, Fitzgerald, is an elderly little boy who I adopted 6 months ago. I was very pleased with my initial visit. Dr Cowden took time with him as did his staff. Very pleased."

"Our vet retired and due to horrible reviews and a shaky conversation with the new staff that took over his practice, I was looking for a comfortable and competent vet to take care of my dog with addison's. I am so happy to have found this place! Instead of lifting her up on the exam table, we all sat on the floor with my girl which kept her at ease. Even with the vet she went to for years, she would shake, but not this time! I think I even saw her smile after the exam! The cost is very reasonable and more importantly, I feel confident that Josie will receive the best care and everyone was so friendly. So thankful!"
