"Overall, I feel my pets are cared for adequately, the entire support staff is kind and knowledgeable. Most of the charges for services and medications are reasonable. The clinic facility- waiting area and treatment rooms are dated but very clean looking (and smelling) which is important. I have never seen the same Vet twice but for the most, they are knowledgeable, mostly thorough and mostly easy to talk with. The “set-up” seems to be more geared to say an “urgent care people clinic” than a neighborhood Vet Clinic or animal Hospital though. There are a few things, 4 specifically, I feel could be improved. Since I am directed above to not be shy, I will be thorough. First, Vet availability. Robinson on Foy Fitch in Gray has been our vet choice for 2 years and over those two years we have made multiple visits. Only once have we seen the same Vet. Every other time it has been a different Vet. It seems to be a revolving door. To be fair, I have not asked for any specific Vet so it could be an issue of how I my schedule our appointments. The name does imply hospital instead of clinic too. The support staff faces are familiar but not the Vets. The issue with this is the Vets don’t get familiar with the animal history. Lack of familiarity with the pets wouldn’t be terribly huge if the new/different Vets took time to review pet history/previous treatments and working treatment plans. Second, record keeping/pet treatment recall. As there does seem to be a “revolving Vet” occurrence, I would imagine that is a “known” instance and as such, the treating Vet would be prompted to write adequate notes so any receiving Vet would have some idea of history, treatments and the like. Not the case as each time I visit I have to restate the pet history and treatment every time. Also, I have made appointments and been told there are no records of our being there. Specific example: I had one issue- a rough and challenging pet illness that required several follow-up visits. The slack record keeping and revolving Vet issue compounded my situations because with each check up I had to reiterate the entire history, advise the current vet of the last Vet’s treatment plan and it got very daunting because it was treatment follow up for a litter of kittens. Third, treatment options. (Above example- expanded): I had 2 foster litters of kittens. 1 litter was positive for Pan-Luk and 1 litter had been exposed by the +Pan-luk as was my resident cat. The lack of treatment suggestions for the 2 kitten litters was- nil. I was advised to take the + litter back to the shelter to be euthanized. Little hope was given for the exposed litter. My resident cat was well vaccinated and older so outlook was very good for her. Not satisfied with that, when I went to shelter with the kittens, the shelter staff told me there was a chance and asked if I was willing to take on possibility of saving them. I was, so they supplied me with fluids and a treatment plan. Out of 9 kittens, sadly 2 were too far gone and did not make it but 7 are heathy, thriving and have great homes now. The Vet I saw for the PanLuk kittens was by far the best of all I’ve seen at any visit and she was very positive and helpful with treatment of my resident cat but for the + kittens, the most advise I got for them was take them back and bleach everything that could stand immersion in bleach solution for 10 min. She didn’t mention the 2 other cleaners that were also effective in killing the very resilient virus but weren’t as damaging as bleach. The next problem was ear mites. I received another foster kitten who needed Vet care. Before I got him, pet shelter Vet records he had been given Revolution to treat ear mites. I brought him in for double check of that and for a check of a post op infection he had. Another new vet. He did a quick look at his ears and incision site said he was good, no need for ear wash or further treatment for ear mites and finish the antibiotics for the infection. Well…a little time later and more ear scratching’ kitties! just yesterday I had to treat 4 kittens for ear mites. The original ear mite kitten plus 3 more who picked them up from him. This not only cost extra time but a lot of extra money for 4 more doses of Revolution instead of being thorough with the re-check of the first one. Lastly, scheduling/emergency and some ancillary charges. On one of my last trips in, I noticed a sign that read all same day appointments will be considered emergency and will be billed as emergency service. I don’t think that is quite fair. I believe that a standard algorithm could be devised to objectively identify what constitutes an emergency charge if there isn’t one already. This leaves one to believe there is no option for a same day visit even if the schedule allows. Visit scheduling can be padded to allow for emergency needs in many ways. Extra charges: On one of my visits with kittens I brought a “sample.” Turned out the sample wasn’t needed so I asked if they had a receptacle. The sample was disposed of - and I was charged for it. The reason it irritated me is because I could have just dropped the dodo baggie in the “doggie doo” receptacle out front had I been told there was a charge for it. As I noted in the beginning, over all, this is a fine Vet clinic. I do feel though that I would find it better if I could build a better relationship with the Vet. “Any available” is definitely fine for an emergency situation, but a scheduled visit for check ups and the like with a known Vet would be appreciated. If that’s not available then at least a quick read over treatment notes and plans before seeing the animal would be beneficial all around. That would be easier done with thorough record keeping. Even a brief SOAP notes can still be very informative. A hint of charges beforehand would be also be appreciated."

"I love that there are 2 entrances to come in and leave. My dog is huge and when he sees another dog, it is hard for me to handle him. Another client came in with her dog and the receptionist asked her to wait until I left through the front door, before bringing her dog around. I truly appreciated that. One thing I would suggest, having a leash holder under the front counter. While trying to pay and balance the leash and my purse, it can be difficult. I have been to other clinics and they have a leash holder to put my pet on, so that I can be a little bit hands free while paying."

The only feedback I have is that I wish they had given me an estimate of the cost prior to administering medication/treatment so I was prepared and could make an informed decision. Getting to the check-out desk and learning the final amount was a bit of a shock. Otherwise I loved our visit and the team there."

I do not trust the 12 week pills since I have a grin whose Great Pyrenees was killed by this medication and a second friend's Alaskan Husky experienced severe seizures for several months after taking. I refuse to allow these medications to be administered to Auggie. They may be FDA approved. I assume the payment to gain that approval was great. However, they should not have been approved, in my opinion."

"My dogs were happy and healthy at pick-up. Thanks for keeping them fed, watered, rested, healthy and safe while I was away! I did not hear of any issues with my high anxiety dog, so I assume his anxiety level was lower on this visit. My only disappointment was that my freezer packs were not placed in my cooler. My cooler was returned with my dogs Vetsulin, but my freezer packs were not in the cooler, and I did not notice this until I arrived at home. I had a 45-minute drive home on a warm day, so the full vial of insulin and almost empty vial of insulin was not kept cool. This was overly concerning to me but all I can do is hope that the expensive insulin has not spoiled."

We were put in an exam room as soon as we arrived.

"One of the staff who answers the phone at Peoples Street office does not seem to understand the basics of customer service. I am listed on my boyfriends account because he is not able to take off work to bring in our dog himself. I was told I wasn’t listed and that they could not process by phone a refund on a prescription their pharmacy could not fill. A simple look into the account would show that the last charge from the pharmacy of $49 and change was never picked up. Obviously another staff member had no trouble charging my credit card by phone. I was told to calm down and that I must drive to the office to receive the refund. Will not be using that office any longer even though it is the most convenient location. Have had nothing but problems between the front desk staff and the pharmacy rarely having medications. "
