Very happy with the care my 13 year old dog has received from getting her at 5 weeks old. The staff has always been pleasant and understanding of our needs.
She was diagnosed (by physical exam, x-ray, lab) five years ago with enlarged heart and put on medication. With early treatment she has been taking her medication regulary and walks alot. We went on a 2 mile walk today. That is a lot for a normal 15 lb dog but she is able to do a lot even with the heart problem. Last year she went blind and after being examined by Dr. McCumpsey and given medicaion for the eyes, we were referred to Dr. King, eye specialist at emergency hospital in Marietta. She now has full vision in one eye thanks to their early intervention. She has allergies and they handle those as we need care. She has been boarded at the facility and the ladies that take care of her are great! We also get her groomed at the facility. Last week, they worked us in on a Saturday morning, as my dog seemed to be having some quivering, etc. Dr. Porter felt she had infection from her teeth and that antibiotics and teeth cleaning were needed. We scheduled the cleaning for the next week. I was worried since the heart condition had prevented us from doing this earlier. But, we had no choice now. Dr. Porter only used gas and not all the sedation medications for the anethesia. They observed my dog all dog after teeth cleaning. My dog was so happy when I picked her up, acting like a puppy. By 7pm she was so hungry I fed her a regular meal and no nausea. She chews much better and is over all the symptoms.So, I am very familiar with many things they do.I have seen all the doctors at some point and feel they are all caring about our feelings. Dr. McCumpsey is her regular doctor. I thank Dr. Lukert and his staff for all the care we have received throughout these 13 years.
