took our two dogs to GAH in preparation for their permanent move to Africa.Discussed with Dr Zobel the need for 'chips' to be implanted.She said she had prepared other animals for international travel.We believed her to be knowledgable about this aspect.This doctor implanted the wrong type chips: they were for USA, not acceptable for EU of Africa.We had to return within the 10 day window prior to departure for their health certificates.We asked that this final fee be adjusted or waived, since we were now forced to go to a NEW clinic (i.e. initial exam fees, plus chip placements) at this very late moment to get the CORRECT chips.(the proper chips would not have reached GAH in time to be given.We had to find a vet in Virginia at the departure city, get them put in, then send that documentation to USDA for final papers.TAB: $215 additional we had to pay to the second vet: a totally unnecessary expense that could have been avoided if GAH had been knowledgable, as they professed to be.
