The staff was friendly and we got to see Dr. Butler, or she got to see us. She asked plenty of questions about dog food and potty training. I asked more about training with children in the home and even expressed some concern about puppy aggression. It was the perfect opportunity since my puppy growled at Dr. Butler when she picked her up to put her on the table. I told her we don't play tug-o-war. I have been waiting 3 Weeks to get boostet shots to get some helpful insight. I was frusterated as she played tug-o-war and smiled after each naughty puppy behavior I explained. Upon leaving the office I was given booklets on puppy classes, tracking chips, and spaying my dog. Oh, and don't forget the $65 "1st office visit, but it will be cheaper next time since we know you're coming back fee". $103 total for a $10 PRESCRIPTION, CHECKING POOP AND 10 WEEK BOOSTER SHOTS!!!! I'm glad I took my puppy in for you to play with. Not going back!
RESPONSE FROM High Plains Veterinary Hospital:
We are sorry you feel you had a bad experience at your appointment. We do our best to give you as much information about your puppy's health as we can. We give advice on basic puppy training, however, we feel puppy classes are very important and it is best to get behavioral training from a professional dog trainer.
