My black lab Roxie was sick.She was in pain. I rushed her over to the VCA Pets are People Too Veterinary Hospital. Her belly was swollen and she was having trouble breathing. When we walked in the door they immediately wanted to charge us $500.00 just to give her oxygen to stabilize her breathing. We had the hopes that we could get an antibiotic and something for her pain so that we could make it to her regular vet Instead the doctor presented us with a quote for 703.00 to run tests that could have been done at her regular veterinarian. I was prepared to spend at least $400.00 but I wanted it to be for something like an antibiotic. When I told the doctor that I did not want to run those tests there but wanted something like an anitbiotic and maybe a laxative and something for her pain. She refused and instead sent someone in the room with a paper for me to sign saying that I was refusing treatment which was not true! I did not want to spend my money on tests and then not have the money for her treatment. The doctor was so cruel and insensitive. She did not even come back to the room!! I cried for my dog who only needed an antibiotic and a laxative to save her life and the doctor was so greedy that she was willing to let me walk out of the hospital and let my dog die over some money. I am very angry and hurt. She is a heartless greedy person with no soul. She is comfortable with being set up in a wealthy community and just taking people's money for minor treatments and running unnecessary tests to take all of your money. When there is emergency you are supposed to treat the problem and give a diagnosis so that the pet can go to his regular doctor to continue treatment. I think that this hospital is a scam and they should not be in operation! As I was leaving there was a lady there that told me that she brought her dog in for a minor injury and she was charged $500.00. I told her they were rip off and then I left with my untreated beloved Roxie who died two days letter. She had pyometra. The doctor even wrote in the notes that she thought it was pyometra and didnt offer an antibiotic. I am so upset over the loss of my Roxie and they just didnt care!! All she cared about was scamming me for $703.00. She should not be in practice. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO THIS HOSPITAL
