I took my pet here for almost a year. \r
My dog had a somewhat common skin condition (demodex) yet the doctors seemed particularly unknowledgable. One doctor would recommend treatment 'a', another treatment 'b', while still another turned to me, flabbergasted, and said 'I'm not sure, what do YOU think it is?' \r
Regardless it never seemed to get any better, though they would try to convince me otherwise: \r
'Oh you're dogs stomach is looking fine' \r
'I thought he had Demodex (skin disease)' \r
'Oh yeah, yeah thats right, yeah thats looking better' \r
Well when it came time to prescribe medicine they &^*$%!-ed up and prescribed him 10 TIMES the normal dose. Being a small dog this was toxic. He walked around the house like a zombie bumping into walls for 2 days. When we called the vet to confirm everything they said it was 'Fine just fine'. A call to another vet AND a little research on the net revealed thier mistake, that the medicine in larger doses is HIGHLY TOXIC. When we called them about our findings and how they almost k!lled our pet, the reply was flippant 'well yeah then give him less then'. \r
In addition they were careless on other things as well. Whenever he got his nails clipped they were always dripping bloood. Not too mention they would drag my dog by the neck with a rope to return him to me (fyi he has no behaivor issues and can walk fine). \r
So sure, they're economical, but if you cherish your pet more than your pocketbook....\r
AVOID GATEWAY ANIMAL HOSPITAL.
Pros: If you want to euthanize your animal (whether he needs it or not) here's your place...
Cons: See the description
