Went here one time while looking for a new vet. Took dog in for Distemper vaccine. Was talked into 3 year distemper vaccine and bloodwork. Let them take dog in back room to draw blood - NEVER EVER trust a vet who has to draw blood from your dog NOT in your presence. Brought him out and within a couple of minutes, dog went into total shock, body literally froze (could not bend legs, etc.) eyes would not focus, he drooled non-stop & urinated and pooped without control. I stayed for 1/2 hour, then had to leave him with vet because there was nothing to do but wait. It was another 1 hour before I could take him home & he did live. They could do nothing for him because they did not know what happened. Could they have done something?\r

WELL, they drew urine from his bladder with a needle WITHOUT ASKING ME. The blood draw from his neck was so bad that he was severely bruised (dark red & bloody looking) for 2 weeks. My dog was totally healthy and they nearly killed him due to gross incompetence. He seems to have had no long term effects - as it has been approx. 1.5 years now.
