Early in May of this year I brought my dog in for his heartworm check and prevention. The doctor kept me waiting nearly 40 minutes before he even looked at my dog (who has been a patient since 2005), after the heartworm check came back clean he looked VERY briefly at my dog's teeth and said "OH they are a MESS!" I already knew they needed cleaning and a few would need to be pulled. He promptly and rudely told me that EVERY tooth should be extracted from the dog because they were all decayed. Mind you, he NEVER even bothered to fully examine the teeth. He acted as though he were in a hurry and had no time for me and never allowed me to even ask any questions. I WILL NEVER BE BACK TO THIS VET. He talked down to me and made me feel as though I had neglected my pet which is NOT the case. I consulted another vet, and he told me to pull all the teeth on a 4 year old dog was not only unnessary but irresponsible. My new vet cleaned my dogs teeth and extracted 4 teeth, which was a whole lot less than all of them. Nice try EASCOR, but you didnt scare OR intimidate me. Good luck, your gonna need it. Heres a little free advice to the owner: get a personality, and it MIGHT, just MIGHT help!
