When my blind/neurologically challenged Irish Setter got out, someone else found her before I did and assuming she was hurt (which she wasn't) kindly took her to this Clinic. Unfortunately my dog and pulled off her collar with tags and it was only by the chip that they were able to contact me. I was pleased by the care and knowledge of the veterinarian but was horrified when I was told that, if they had not been able to reach me by the close of that day they would have euthanized my dog. At first I thought I had mis-understood but they repeated this several times - if they had not been able to reach me, they would have euthanized my dog. Other than being blind and having gait problems, the dog was 3 years old and in perfect health.
