We had been using this vet since we adopted our two puppies from the rescue organization. We had received a coupon with their adoption when it came time to have them spayed or neutered. Dr. H talked us out of the free service that came with adoption telling about the methods clinics use that could lead to complications and was very convincing. So instead of taking Scout and Cinder where the operation would be free we went to DS Animal Hospital. That was the last time I ever saw the male puppy alive. The Dr. called me 3 hours after the operation saying that he took full responsibility for the negligence of his staff in miss setting the anasthesia machine which robbed my male puppy ""Scout"" of oxygen to his brain causing brain damage and heart failure. They revived him after 10 minutes of CPR but he was a vegetable by this time and they doped him up with valume for the pain. Then proceded to call me so that I could make the decision to put him down or not. The Dr. said that Scout would never be the same. The reality is we had to put Scout down of course as a result...Cinder his litter mate(and sister) was lost for 3 months always looking for him arund the house. A day doesn't go by that I don't think about him and a week doesn't go by that my emotions don't get the best of me. Based on the blatant disregard for my pet during this very simple operation- I highly recommend going to a different vet in the area. We have had much success with Sunset Canyon Vet. This was a very traumatic experience for my family and I would never want anyone else to go through what we have.
Pros: Small Town Feel and attention
Cons: Spread too thin- not enough expertise and attention to detail
