43rd Avenue Animal Hospital

"Three reasons I won’t be taking my puppy back to this vet office. First the vet tech was rude and dismissive the day of our appointment. I wanted to give her the benefit of doubt because we are all human and have bad days but unfortunately there’s more. Second they took over 7 days to get my puppy dewormer. I’ve spoken to other vets since and they said that should have been a same day medication. Parasites are dangerous for dogs and can be life threatening to puppies. Lastly they told me that my puppy could spread her parasites (roundworm) by licking my hand or by chewing a chew toy. This is entirely false. Imagine trying to keep a puppy from licking, mouthing or chewing anything not gonna happen. Or imagine trying to constantly sterilize every that a puppy puts to its mouth. Plus mouthing and chewing on toys is a very important developmental phase for a puppy. I hope this feedback helps people looking for a new veterinarian office but mostly I hope it helps this office so they can make necessary changes. ……. There’s no spot to respond to their response so I’ll do it here. This response makes me feel gaslit. Like I said the tech was rude to me period. Maybe she was having a bad day but that is how she was acting very rude. The employee at the front desk told me if my puppy licked my hands I would get round worm. Working at a vet and spreading misinformation about animal health and welfare is dangerous. Finally you should definitely have basic dewormer available. This is a very basic med that lots of puppies and dogs need regularly. My original feedback was thoughtful, straightforward and informative. After reading this vet office’s response I retract my statement that I hope this information helps them improve. I hope they get investigated and get shut down."

"These people love animals and they know how to give great care! I highly recommend this office. They have saved 2 of my dogs from dangerous and unrelated issues. My big dog had blood problems and my little had swallowed a sock. Excellent care at 43rd AH!"

"This veterinarian office is the best. We've taken our dogs there for 3 and 1/2 years. They are always reasonably priced and they really care about our pets. They even do follow-ups, text or calls just to see how they're doing. I would recommend them to anyone and I recommended them to my family and friends."

"The staff and doctor were very friendly and helpful with the care of our little guy Juneau. Thank you so much, Matt"

"We have used your services a number of times and we never been disappointed. Would definitely recommend your business to friend and family. Thank you for treating our fur family like your own."
