NOT recommended. Substandard treatment of my cat's ear hematoma left the poor cat with the same extremely painful problem 24 hours later. When I called to ask what could be done as they had taken all the money I had (over $100) I was told I was no longer welcome! Shocking, especially as in deference to the pain my cat was in I had held my tongue. Very cruel and substandard care, the only thing being accomplished they had successfully separated me from all the money I had available at the time.

I have been taking my dog here ever since I adopted her about a year ago. She was seen several times over the past year and I was very happy with the care she received until her annual exam on Saturday, 8/23/08. Dr. Larkins did not look at her eyes, her ears or her mouth/teeth nor did he ask me any questions about her general health. All he did was feel her belly and listen to her heart. When it came time for her injections he tired to hold her and give the first injection. When she jerked away he tried a second time to give her the first injection - again without success. My dog got very upset and tried to bite Dr. Larkins. He responded by grabbing her around the throat. When she tried to bite him again he slammed her down on her back on the metal exam table. I can understand not wanting to get bit but we are talking about an eight pound Chihuahua! Was it really necessary to choke her and slam her down on the table?

Compassionate and caring.
