My dog collapsed and could barely breathe. Being Friday after work I rushed him to this hospital. Collette Levasseur was the vet on duty that evening. She wanted to take x-rays, do blood work, start an IV for fluids and antibiotics, give him some oxygen, etc to find out what was wrong. Levasseur came back and said it was probably pneumonia and my dog needed to stay overnight. I was required to give them a credit card right then with the lowest estimated charge being over $1,900.00! By the next night my dog was in severe respiratory distress and Levasseur would not continue treatment unless I agreed to more charges. She could not guarantee my dog would make it or how long it would take or how much it would cost in the end. To make this long heartbreaking story short, my dog was older and I made the tough decision to end his suffering. Now my beloved dog is dead and I have a bill of almost $2,100.00 for roughly 27 hours of “care” at this place. (And yes, I was also charged for euthanasia and cremation.) I am emotionally and financially devastated. I agree with other reviewers who say Dr. Levasseur is all about the money. I felt she was indifferent and would not work with me financially. Do not take your pet to this clinic unless you have an endless supply of money!
