I was the FIRST one to be checked in at 7:30 a.m. I was the only one to have my paperwork already completed (requesting neutering and a microchip) by printing it off the internet ahead of time and was told to pick up my 6 month old Pug no later than 4:00 p.m. I called at 11:00 a.m. to see how he was doing and he hadn't even been seen yet. I showed up at 3:30 to pick him up and he STILL had not had his surgery. It seems that a lot of irresponsible pet owners had brought in their pregnant dogs and cats - 7 (seven!!!???? - can you imagine?) according to the receptionist - which means the one and only vet had to both abort and then spay these poor animals - which amounts to 14 surgeries instead of 7 according to the receptionist . Alright, fine and good - glad to see these people finally taking some responsiblity - but HOW IS THAT MY PROBLEM AND WHY SHOULD I BE PENALIZED by having to wait - my puppy was the VERY LAST animal to be operated on while I was the VERY FIRST one through the door that morning. The receptionist wouldn't even allow me to sit in the waiting room until my dog was ready - WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE AT 5:30 P.M!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT????? And it was like 95 degrees that day. I live in West Knoxville and I wasn't driving back and forth to Seymour again. Anyway, my poor puppy was finally neutered and brought directly out to me - with absolutely NO recuperation period. He cried all the way home. I was very upset to say the least. I took him to FIX-A-PET because of their prices - they're a lot cheaper than my regular vet and I thought I'd try to save some money but I can't really say it was worth it. I would definitedly recommend getting your dog or cat spayed or neutered - but FIX-A-PET seems to be for lower income people. So, if you can afford it, pay more and take your pet to your regular veterinarian.
Pros: cheap
Cons: very little parking. An old house converted into a clinic.
