I have a new kitten and, even though I'd just changed his food which, upon further research can cause stomach upset, they convinced me he needed xrays and the bill came to approximately $375. This has happened with a previous older cat as well. In addition, I just phoned them regarding a neuter and they quoted $350 - $500 for the procedure! How is that being an advocate for animals? (I've now made an appointment at another Animal Hospital which charges under $100). In addition, with the same feline, following a vaccine that seemed to make him ill, we took him after hours to Eagle Rock Emergency (which, according to a plaque in the waiting room of Los Feliz Animal Hospital, is partly owned by one of the vets at LFAH) and witnessed one of the vet technicians sling a cat crate (with the animal inside) across the floor to the owner after the owner accused the emergency facility of charging her too much for the emergency procedure. Repeat: The cat was inside the crate. While it's every person's responsibility to pay for their animal's medical expenses. this behavior is unacceptable. Time to move on.
