  Donald R. wrote: KILLED A LITTER OF KITTENS BECAUSE THEY WONT FOLLOW BASIC SURGICAL PROTOCOLS. Brought in a stray today we had recently adopted, she was thin when we got her, and she had rapidly gained weight since. We had made an appointment with these basic biology dunces to get her spayed after two days of having her, but the appointment was two weeks out. The morning of the appointment, we told the intake "technician" (some moron with no care for animals) "she may be pregnant, or just getting fat now, we're unsure". We were told they would check, and we assumed a basic pregnancy test would be done before surgery was even contemplated....you know, as you would do for any living thing going into surgery, you need to establish a baseline of health BEFORE administering anesthesia. When we came to pick her up that afternoon (following no calls from them to tell us anything), we asked if she was pregnant or just getting fat. Same intake "technician" told us, "no, she wasn't pregnant......wait....". Only then did she glance at the paperwork and realize "oh my, she WAS pregnant". The only reply I could muster was "WAS?!?". She proceeded to tell me, rather matter-of-factly, was that they had administered anesthesia and started the surgery before someone went "uh-oh" (read: the cat was cut open, they saw kittens, this was news to them). They had killed a litter of kittens for the lack of basic surgical procedure, and against our own explained suspicions. No apologies were given, no "mistakes were made" speech came forth. We were looked at like its their job to throw away pregnancies. It was all I could do to not jump over the counter. They looked and spoke like $85 wouldn't have covered a hormone presence test or 5 seconds of ultrasound work and a phone call to come get her early, the spaying would have to wait. I would have happily paid that for the shots and news she was expecting, saving them money and time...but hey, why not just shove drugs in her and start cutting blind, I'm sure that works out a lot..... The kicker? The very next line they spoke was "...and that comes to $xxx.xx today..." . The level of incompetence, literally first year student procedural breakdown, and lack of compassion at their own willful errors is frankly mesmerizing, second only to the nerve to demand payment. (i know, you can get free kittens almost anywhere, but if you even meagerly value them at $10 each, they threw more than their bill worth of kittens in the garbage due an easily preventable mistake). The worst part of it all is explaining the sudden weight loss to my 4 year old daughter. I refuse to lie to her, but dancing on this one is hard. Most negative reviews here are full of their excuses in replies..."we're not a traditional veterinary clinic...", Etc. I dont want excuses, at all. I want EVERYONE to know this is a chop shop at best, and I will NOT rescind any of this for any reason. No medical technician, veterinary or otherwise worth their "degree" would ever knowingly operate on anything if there was ANY question of safety without testing properly. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PETS HERE. They are priced low because they cut whatever corners they can legally; morality, safety, or decency to life be damned. If they had this level of disdain for routine procedure, its only a matter of time before it happens again....and again...and again....Pay the extra for a real veterinarian and staff that know what they're doing and dont consider themselves some kind of glorified spay assembly line doing YOU a favor.

  Bottom Line

  Thank you for your feedback.

  Mary D. asked:

  I know I have seen recommendations for vets here but looking for one who may charge on a "sliding scale."Our very spunky 9 year old English Cocker needs a growth removed from his hind quarters and I am full time caretaker for my husband , who is a stroke survivor, so need someone who is very reasonable! Thanks!

  

  Sharon W. replied:

  Spay Now has offices in Grasonville and Laurel. They do surgery for reduced prices. You may want to call them. There are also some vets who accept care credit, that allows you to pay for vet care over time often with no interest. Good luck to you, your dog and your husband. spaynow.com

  Harley C. asked:

  I need suggestions on vet offices to get my 12 pound female spayed and 65 pound male dog neutered. Vca told me 800$ for my 12 pound female and I just feel as if that's too much, I do want a reputable and safe place for my pups though, so not 'low cost clinics' Please and thank you!

  

  Samantha L. replied:

  Forget snap program. I was going to try snap until I found de spay and neuter (for my cat) For your dog at that weight, it appears that Delaware spay & neuter would charge you approx $77. Their # is (302)7357729 However, my female dog, I took her spay now in laurel md@(301) 483-7080. For your dog's weight, they should charge you approx $85. They have another location which may be closer in grasonville@(410)827-6464 Just realized you are talking about 2 dogs. Your male@spay now would be $100 at that weight. At Dover clinic, your male would be $109. Please note: for my cat, web price states $51 but they charging me $66 and I believe the diff is the pain meds. She goes next week.
