I have always used Stage Road for basic yearly shots for my animals b/c of cost. HOWEVER, I do not use them for emergencies or any problems. A few years ago my cat was having problems (weight loss, vomiting) and I was told by Stage road that "" we can not figure out what is wrong with him without cutting him open.""
I took my cat to a specialist in Cary (Dr. Monce who I HIGHLY recommend) who was VERY reasonable with treatment and cost. He did some tests and determined the issue. Without ""cutting him open.""
* My dog 3 weeks ago was bleeding from his rectum. Took him to my specialist vet and determined that it was ecoli poison and gave him meds. Cost us $150. Our dog was fine 24 hours later. My aunt and uncle took their dog to stage road with the same problem recently. They were told that they had 2 options.. put her to sleep or take her to NCSU - which would cost $1000 (they did not have this. They opted to put her down and they did. This vet should have admitted that they had no clue what was wrong with the dog and told them to get a second opinion from a normal vet's office. Instead this 6 year old dog was put down as they were told she had liver issues. Quacks. Do not use them for anything other than shots.
