ZERO compassion for animals.\r
I have been going to Calusa as well as my mom on and off since they opened and of course we knew what their priorities are; first and foremost money, second how fast they will get the money, and third you?re pet. My mother stopped going because they refused to treat her dog since she didn?t have $600 right then and there in the middle of the night when he had a stroke. They were going to transfer him.\r
My dog who had been taken in there a year ago was told that she is over dramatic and nothing is wrong yet I had to pay the $80 visit even thought I did not see a vet.\r
Well today, my poor little dachshund rescue lady who I loved more than anything in the world was at the end of her battle with really bad lymphoma (which they failed to find and could have been saved that year ago) \r
This morning and from last night she started chronically bleeding, puddles of blood. The most horrific thing I ever had to experience. She had bled out so much I couldn't believe she was still breathing. I called Calusa since it is the closest to my house and another vet recommended I go for the euthanasia since my vet is all the way in west palm and I wanted Lady to not have to go through this much longer.\r
Calusa told me ""payment is required upfront"" I begged for some form of payment plan, they said ""you can call the humane society and go up to west palm"" I explained how my dog is bleeding to death with cancer and she won?t make it and I pleaded and pleaded and they flat out said ""sorry we can't adjust payment""\r
I get how this is a money making business but how freaking incentive do you have to be to allow an animal go through more pain when you are supposed to be the ones having compassion!!!\r
This place has zero compassion! They milk you for money and if you don?t have it then and there they will send you on your way regardless.\r
What kind of people runs this place? \r
I HIGHLY advise NOT going to this place. It's great that you have money to get the treatment and hear the soothing wind chimes, but who do they have their best interest in? NOT the pet, THE MONEY! Shame on the people that work there that think since you make more than other vet?s that they are more superior. Calusa is nothing more but shameful heartless people and I really pray no one else has to experience what I did the last moments with my dog. The last thing you want is people who say they care about animals treat their lives based on a dollar.
