These reviews DO concern me.I did buy a very expensive dogue de bordeaux from Petland(SMACK ME!)as much as I swore I would never buy from them admidst the rumors as to where the dogs come from.Anyways,I did not buy the warranty,as,I feel with a vaccinated dog there should normally be no health problems.Of course,as the dog is aging,breeding problems are now surfacing.Petland,of course,says since I am not covered under warranty,it's not their problem.Anyways,again,Holly from Petland referred me to this vet.After reading all these reviews,I am not real sure,I want a surgery performed by a ""traveling"" vet...he is only there on certain days,which also concerns me,and the staff turnover is a HUGE concern for me.WHY is there such a huge staff turnover?When I brought my dog in a couple days after purchase to be checked out,a VERY young looking ""doctor"" checked out my dog.How many years of vet school does one have to attend to be a full fledged vet?She prescribed meds and all,so I was assuming she was really a vet.Maybe I should have asked for her credentials?\r
UPDATE ON MARCH 2,2013....And to whoever it was that asked,YES,their is an ONGOING relationship,with the Petland on Bethel Rd by Walmart,with this vet.When you buy a dog there,your first visit is free.I guess by getting you in their vet practice once,they are hoping to entice you into coming back again.I,personally have two vets closer to home.Yes,I did use the free visit,but no,I never went back.The ""vet"" that saw me,could not have possibly been a full fledged vet....she wasn't a day over 20.The office staff was virtually worthless.The girls working at my regular vet have been there for years...so NO,every vet office staff does NOT have a huge turnover.To whomever it was that was trying to get a letter of complaint to the owners,you know s well as I do that letter probably never got past the receptionist.If you dig far enough online,you can find the owners name.Good luck.
