THEY WANT YOUR MONEY:
Initially this veterinarian seemed like a good place to go, as they were able to get me right in to treat my puppy's UTI. The staff was friendly enough, but I choked when it came time to pay and the price they charged.
A few months later my dog got another UTI and my husband took her in without me, when he got home I was appalled to learn that they had given her a blood test to check for worms (even though she was only 7 months old and they had told me at the last visit such tests were unnecessary until after 1yr!) And on top of the cost of the test they added to the bill the most expensive brand of de-worming pills. My husband is not familiar with the dog's medical history and trusted that the vet must know best and paid them.
The last time I actually took my dog there was because I needed a simple Health certificate for domestic travel. I have done this before elsewhere and was again shocked that they charged me a total of $150 for this. $30 for the form (5 lines 3 of which were my name and address which they had me fill in) and the rest was the exam and fecal tests they deemed necessary despite them having just preformed the blood work on the dog.
As another impending flight draws near I did my homework - called a few other vets in the area and got a quote of $384 to do the international papers, health certificates, and exams for my 3 animals. Out of morbid curiosity I called Dominion. Once the tally of the receptionist got to $570 (not including the main *expensive* form price b/c she had no clue what it would cost to fill it out) I thanked her and stated I would finally take my business elsewhere. A lesson I learned hundreds of dollars too late - hopefully this review saves someone else the money it cost me.
Oh and side note - I contacted the USDA regarding the tests they ''needed'' to do before they would issue a health certificate for travel. The USDA told me that the only thing the vet has to verify is rabies and general overall health (no obvious sickness that should prevent flying) There is no reason at all to do a fecal test or any other test on the animals before issuing the papers.
