Over a year ago we took our Yorkie in to be looked at. He kept coughing like he was trying to cough something up. The vet there did an x-ray and said he had a heart murmur. Which I already knew about since he had it as a puppy. The Dr. said it didn't have to do with that and it was just a cough and contributed it to old age. This past Friday our dog almost died. He did his cough, which we were attributing to old age and he passed out. He was lifeless! We thought we had lost him. We rushed him to an AMAZING vet, where they put him on oxygen for hours, and took an xray. Turns out he has congestive heart failure, and advance heart disease. This was something that would have been apparent, at the vet if he were to have done his job right. From the start of going into Gandy (while the front office staff and techs are really nice) the vets there seem to just rush along and take your money. After seeing the x-ray of our dogs heart, it was enlarged twice the size it should be. It was enlarged when Gandy did the x-ray but instead of doing blood work or tests they just sent us on our way with cough meds for a dog who was dying of heart disease. Thank goodness for the vet who saved him. He is on heart meds now for life, and on a new diet and we hope to have him around a lot longer!\r

That was not our only problem with Gandy...We also have another dog who needed spinal surgery. We went there and they werent able to determine what was wrong so they prescribed us with a ton of meds, then sent us to another vet who told us we didnt need any of those meds, and our dog needed spinal surgery due to a blood clot. \r

I am not sure what is wrong with the vets there, but I would not trust them if you love your pet. It doesn't seem as if they have the animals best interest at heart and are more focused on filling their pockets with your money.
