I would seriously think twice about taking your dog here. The "vet" prescribed our dog both steroids and anti-biotics at the same. Then compounded the problem by not checking to see what kind of infection it was. Flash forward over a year of consistently poor care later we found another vet that took the time to make sure the diagnosis was correct. The final straw for us was the lack the professionalism and extortion tactics we encountered while getting our dogs nails trimmed yesterday. Not only did they cut into the quick, and not just nicking it thank you, they brought him out without trimming all his nails when we pointed that out we ended up dealing with excuses about why they couldn't until they finally finished. It wasn't until they came back the second time that they told us about cutting the quick. Then they promptly proceeded to tell us that if we wanted "better" service we should bring our dog in once a week. Lastly, when asked about what we should do about the quick they replied he's fine he looks happy. The nail was still bleeding over an hour later.
Vet work is expensive anywhere but just make sure your getting your money worth. I would definitely think 3 or 4X's before bringing my dog there again.
