Our pets have been treated at this clinic for over 14 years. We recently found out that we had to have our family dog of 15 years put to sleep. I was mortified to find out that this clinic charges EXTRA, double the normal euthanasia fee, for you to be present at the euthanasia. This is the epitomy of greed. To take advantage of someone's grief and to charge a fee so you can be with your pet at the end is one of the most compassionless, cold-hearted acts I can think of. After some quick calls to other vets to see if this was a common practice, it seems that this clinic is the only one in the area that I found that had this surcharge. Most that I talked to were astounded to find out they charged this fee. Adjectives such as cruel, and reprehensible were used by other professionals in this field. Needless to say I will never use this clinic again.
