This staff is made up of angels! They are angels on earth! I was blessed to have found out about them when my beloved baby girl Duchess became mysteriously ill. Her illness turned...

Don't trust them when it comes to "finances."VCA doesn't keep their word! Recently, we brought our older dog in for emergency care. We learned she has kidney failure, but was tol...

VCA Vet Kind and Ethical 10/13/2008

After getting conflicting information from my vet and his staff, I took my cat to VCA for a second opinion. The vet at VCA told me in the kindest terms that there wasn't any possibility of a recovery for my cat. I was given the time and privacy to say my last goodbyes and then the vet returned and my boy went to sleep. It was done with a great deal of compassion and the staff was very kind. My vet charged me over $600 and did practically nothing. The VCA vet was honest and straightforward. The euthanasia, private cremation, urn and postage was under $400. \r . more

Pushy with their treatments/lack principle when errors were recognized 11/27/2007

I had to use the VCA 2 times for emergency reasons. The first situation went well, overly priced and and was there for many hours when it was not busy to clean and bandage a torn tail on my dog. This last time my dog was hit by a car, offered way to many services then needed, a 6pm ER office visit alone was $120 and after examination and X-rays, the dog broke her front leg-clean break. A $3000 surgery was suggest when only a $150 cast for a young dog was needed. They admitted the cast was on too tight. ER visit, cast, sedation and medication costed $800. My dog had bloody sores within 24 hours and no E-collar was recommended. My dog licked and then chewed over an inch of her cast until I was able to return to the VCA . I was questioned 3 times why an E collar was not given to me the first visit which I had no idea. I wanted to recast at my vet but the doctor would not release the dog with a jagged edge on the cast. I had to repay for another cast and sedation and the office vi more

Terrible Service! 9/25/2007

VCA is the closest animal clinic to my house and we had some emergencies in holidays and weekends. It is very convenient to have a clinic that is 24/7. HOWEVER.. it is very inconvenient when they want to do surgery for everything!. We took my dog for a problem they "obviously" found a lot more. They wanted us to proceed with the surgery and they gave me a paper to sign in where it stated that they would not be responsible for the great risk of my dog to die during the surgery. They said there was 90% chances that it would happen. That was not the original problem!, I wanted to take my dog out of there and they rejected to give it back to me because according to them "she would die whit-in the next hours". I still took her out and they didn't want to give me any medicine. When they saw my mom crying really bad, then they came to give us some pills and charged us around $300. The surgery was going to cost $4,500. My dog was taken to a different Hospital, they did not operate her because more

VCA Animal Hospital 11/12/2006

My mom and I took our 12 year old Golden Retriever to VCA. She was having a lot of problems so we had to put her down. During the process, the vet couldn't find her vein and repeatedly keep poking her in the arm. THen to add to that, a vet tech came in and put my dog in a head lock. I had to end up leaving the room because I couldn't stand to see it. Finally after many tries, they were able to put the IV into my dog's arm to put her to sleep. Because of the vet, my dog was filled with fear during her last moments of life. I do not recommend this vet. PROS: New facility now CONS: Incompotent vets more

Excellent Care at VCA Aurora 9/26/2006

I have been going to this facility for care for my 5 year old dog for about one year. My dog has been cared for by two staff vets. The care has been excellent. One vet took the time to help me and Nigel by reviewing and faxing records to our summer vet in Michigan to assure continued care for his allergies. She even called to see how Nigel was doing! I think the key consistent excellent care is establishing a relationship with a vet...not just stopping for emergencies. PROS: Excellent care CONS: None more

Ok in a real emergency, I guess. 8/2/2006

I have taken my dog and cat to this facility several times. Each time, I feel the treatment was not as I expected and wound up taking them to their regular vet the next morning. Each time, the vet would diagnose the problem as something simple and take care of it. As an example, my dog's paw was bleeding and looked as if she had road rash or an infection. VCA wanted to take xrays (why? there wasn't a problem with her bones) and an ultrasound. I had them bandage the wound instead. Her normal vet said she was allergic to whatever weed spray was on our grass and licked her paw to shreds. A simple powder and wash cloth did the trick. Then my cat was wobbling her head oddly late at night, so we took her there. They would not do a proper exam because the cat was hissing. They wanted to do an ultrasound (again) and blood work. The next day, her regular vet determined that she had dirt in her ears and was wobbling because it itched. PROS: open late CONS: eager to give unnecessary xrays. more

World class specialty veterinary care - by caring doctors 7/26/2006

I was referred to VCA by my local vet. My cat needed a cardiologist. VCA has many specialists and all are top notch doctors. The care my Zilly received was wonderful and everyone there treated him and me with compassion, caring and respect. Now the price for a "kitty cardiologist" isn't cheap, so be prepared. But you get the care you pay for and this was the best. They got my Zilly into see a doctor almost immediately, were great about selecting and helping me obtain the correct medications and thanx to them, Zilly spent his last days a very happy cat! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! PROS: The best care anywhere CONS: Pricey, but worth every penny more
