I started going to the VCA cat hospital in January of this year, and since that time I have been there 3 times for the exact same problem. My cat had an infection on his paw around his nail beds. The first time we went, the vet didn't even swab it (to check for bacteria), told me to clean it and sent me on my way. Well, needless to say, the problem got worse (even with daily cleanings), so we went back a 2nd time. This time the paw was swabbed, and the vet said that it was full of bacteria, so she gave me a liquid antibiotic and some medicated wipes. Well, that didn't work either, so again, back we went. This time we got a pill and some different wipes. It's now September, my cat still has an infected paw, and I've spent about $500 on this. I am frustrated beyond words, and all I want is for someone to take this problem seriously and for my cat to get better. I wouldn't mind paying $120-$160 for a visit if they were helping my cat, but unfortunatly, they are not, so we will NOT be back, and I would not reccomend them to any of my friends.
Pros: Good hours
Cons: Expensive, don't seem to care enough to get to the root of the problem
