Like I said he is a great guy and vet as well. I do not doubt his practice or advice. My parents brought our labs there growing up and I as well. He is just very brief. Quick to do surgery. Charges considerably high. What did it for me was boarding my 6 year old lab there on vacation to find out he died over the weekend and was still charged a "burial fee." After 10 years of bringing my dogs to him.

Sorry to hear that. Appreciate you sharing. Had something similar happen to me at Jefferson Animal Hospital.

Agreed. Concede this is true.

Whoa, that really sucks. Should have gotten a new one or slightly used one as compensation.

Good God, I would want to burn the place down if that happened to me. Completely understand your reasoning. If you want a good place to board I go to Petropolitan on Drusilla. Used them for years and have never had a complaint.

Sorry to hear this - did you feel the vet or his facility played a part in the dog's death? Charges for disposing of an animal's body exist in every hospital at every level b/c it isn't cheap. Sounds like you were kinda heading toward leaving this practice anyway but I'm not aware of any vets that eat the cost for disposing of a body.
