I brought my senior pug, Eliot, to Povar and told the vet that I thought Eliot might have an ear infection. After barely glancing at his ears she said they were fine. Then she performed some other (expensive and unnecessary) tests without informing me of the charges ahead of time. Even though Eliot kept shaking his head and scratching is ears, Povar's final diagnoses was that Eliot was fine. Unconvinced, I took Eliot to another vet and, after a more thorough exam that included an ear culture, we discovered that Eliot has a SEVERE ear infection. I'm very angry with Povar - Eliot's suffering was needlessly prolonged and my pocketbook drained.
