DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE! I'd give zero stars if I could!! This business only cares about making money! Extensive painful and extremely repetitive testing! Testing is great when needed, but not to the extent that my poor dog had to endure. (Also, they charge you twice as much as other clinics) I found this out after doing research, speaking with others Vets, and other pet owners with the same conditions as my pet. Not to mention the extra pain and undue stress it puts your animal through. Next, they only immediately approve medicine & other medical needs for your pet through their online pharmacy or at their actual locations. If you want to order from any other online pharmacy, you must drive to their offices, pick up a written script, drive hone, mail the script to your online pharmacy, wait for them to receive it, then approve your order, then wait in it to be shipped. However, If you agree to order from THEIR online pharmacy (that appears to not ship from their actual offices either!!), your request is immediately approved. When questioned, their reason is they don't want to be held responsible or liable if the pharmacy fills the script wrong. When confronted with the foolishness of that reasoning (I.e- If that was the case and you could be liable for this, NO DR WOULD EVER SEND A SCRIPT TO A PHARMACY! He would fill meds only in his or her own office! It's utterly ridiculous!!), then the reply is "Well, I'm sorry that's our policy". This is a horrible way to do business! It shows a desire for profit, over the Convenience, concern, and needs of your clients. Even in the face of a client with health issues, they do not bend! Not to mention Most online pharmacies carry things much cheaper and offer many discounts to customers. Which is more cost effective when you have an ill pet who eats only prescription food, on top of daily meds. I care about my pet, and I want a Vet that also cares about my pet and her owner. Not just a profit margin. I hope you do too. If so, find another Vet! I'd recommend The Animal Health Clinic 4803 Perkins Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70808. Or Hickory Small Animal Clinic 40008 Hickory Ln, Ponchatoula, LA 70454.
