Desert Care Animal Hospital
“Overall the experience was fine, the goal was to get my dog spayed, she's spayed and doesn't seem to have developed any complications. They were able to get me on the calendar when other vets in the area are booked months in advance. Definitely be prepared to wait. Drop off was at 8:30, signed her in and asked if I needed to fill out any paperwork, I was told they would be right with me.I waited for about 20 min before being given the forms to fill out. And then another 10 before they took her to the back. So I ended up being late for work. Which I understand they're busy, just a heads up to plan accordingly and be prepared to wait.<br><br>My dog was in heat so of course there is an extra charge for that.<br>$350 spay + $145 additional. ?<br><br>They did the surgery quickly and also found a couple foxtails one in each ear so the vet removed them. An additional $38 charge. Which I'm glad she removed them, but I thought the additional charge was a little steep.<br><br>Also had her microchipped.<br><br>Post surgery care is lacking. I haven't received any calls from the office to inquire how she's doing. The post surgery instructions say to call 5 days after the procedure. Which was a Monday and they're closed. I left a voicemail that I was calling per instructions and my call back number and haven't heard back.<br><br>I'm used to getting a call the next day to make sure they've gone to bathroom and started eating and drinking again. And the usual questions. Is the incision looking okay? Not opening or having any drainage. But I guess they figure if you don't call them then everything is fine.”
