Dr. Cleghorn was a wonderful Vet -- our family Vet for over 20 years, treating all of our furry family members. Unfortunately, she sold her practice to VCA and retired October 2011. VCA is a corporate entity currently buying up many local veterinary practices. VCA has raised the prices; indeed they price gouge – cough medicine purchased at VCA $32.00; exactly the same prescription filled at Walgreen’s $17.00. The VCA Vets push (sell) expensive tests and surgeries using fear tactics – 3 office visits inside of 7 months, 3 recommendations for 3 different surgeries and lots of tests. The first time we saw one of the VCA Vets for my little dog's cough, she recommended surgery on his patella (knee); his knee wasn’t bothering him. We boarded our dog at VCA University Animal Hospital over the holidays, they had seen him a week and a half earlier and were very aware of his honk-like cough. The first thing I asked when I went to pick him up was about the cough, I was told they hadn’t “noticed him coughing at all”. He was – so very much worse than when he got there. He died two days later at the e Clinic -- suspected pneumonia. No one noticed? No one called us! No one treated him!
