I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE GIVEN TO ME. I CALLED AFTER MIDNIGHT TO BRING MY SON'S DOG IN AS HE HAD GOTTEN A VERY LARGE GASH ON HIS HIND LEG, THE LOCAL VET THAT I USUALLY GO TO WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND i WAS REFERRED ELSWHERE. I WAS SHOCKED AT WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE BUZZARDS BAY ANIMAL HOSPITAL AND WOULD NEVER GO THERE. THEY TOLD ME BEFORE I EVEN TOOK THE DOG IN THEY WOULD BE CHARGING ABOUT $1500! OUTRAGEOUS.\r
I THEN CONTACTED THE SANDWICH ANIMAL HOSPITAL TWO TOWNS OVER AND WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE CONVERSATION AND COMPASSION. I BROUGHT THE DOG RIGHT IN. HE NEEDED SURGERY TO SUTURE HIM UP SO HE SPENT THE NIGHT. WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE, AFTER A ANESTHESIA, A COUPLE OF SHOTS, MEDICINE FOR FLEAS, MEDICINE FOR PAIN AND ANTIBOTICS , A LAMPSHADE COLLAR, THEY EVEN CLIPPED HIS NAILS.RETURN FOR SUTURE REMOVAL THE TOTAL CHARGE WAS $457.24! THIS WAS A GREAT RELIEF AS MY SON JUST GRADUATED FROM SCHOOL AND HAS NUMEROUS SCHOOL LOANS TO PAY. HE JUST GOT A FULL TIME JOB AND IS STARTING OUT ON HIS OWN. I WAS TAKING CARE OF THE DOG FOR HIM. MY SON BARELY HAS ENOUGH TO FEED HIMSELF. THEY WERE WONDERFUL IN ACCEPTING PAYMENTS. I HAVE DECIDED THAT I WILL BE CHANGING VETS AND BRINGING MY TWO CATS AND MY SON'S DOG BACK TO KATTI STRAHSMEIER THE WONDERFUL VET AT SANDWICH ANIMAL INN. IN FACT I AM CALLING THEM TODAY AND MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE ALL OF THEM GROOMED THIS WEEKEND.\r
IT IS NICE TO KNOW THAT COMPASION AND UNDERSTANDING COME BEFORE THE MONEY. STAY AWAY FROM THE BUZZARDS BAY ANIMAL HOSPITAL THEY ARE OUT TO ROB YOU. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ANIMAL. THANK YOU KATTI STRAHSMEIER D.V.M. AND TO YOUR WONDERFUL STAFF. I AM VERY PLEASED IN FALMOUTH MASS.
Pros: FAIR AND NOT TOO EXPENSIVE, COMPASSIONATE
Cons: IT IS A TWENTY FIVE MINUTE DRIVE FROM EAST FALMOUTH, BUT WORTH IT!
