The new owner is very happy to gouge holes in your pocketbook for you for a very long wait. I guess the customers are expected to pay for all the fancy improvements. If you do decide to take your animal here, I would advise that you speak to the nice doctor instead of the owner (who just thinks she's a vet). I don't think vet clinics owned by non-vets are a good idea at all. In this case, the owner seems to believe that she BOUGHT a DVM along with the clinic. If you ask one of the assistants for advice, she will butt in and gainsay whatever the technician is attempting to tell you. A very bad vibe there, really. Your animal is too important to leave to the dubious sanity/ethics of this owner. The cost is low: you get the care you pay for.
Pros: low cost for spay/neuter
Cons: might harm your animal, will gouge pocket with unnecessary tests
