Please research this place before taking your pet!
First off, the county animal shelter looks and smells a lot cleaner than Pearson Animal Hospital. Second, due to their unsanitary practices you will have to make frequent trips back because your pet will contract a disease there.
I took my kitten to get neutered a week ago. I wont even get into Dr. Pearson's rudeness.
Less than a week later my kitten was throwing up, not eating and appeared really, really sick. This place was the only place i could get him in same day so I had to take him back.
They gave him a shot, forced me to buy their crappy brand wet food and told me to force feed him. Sent me and my sick kitty on my way...
Next day, kitty is still not eating, still not moving around. I leave for work reluctantly. When i get home, he's covered in his own urine, shaking, and cried in pain when i touched him. So here we go back to Pearson Animal Hospital.
We saw a different Dr. who couldn't understand why they didn't do more the previous day. The plan was to keep my kitten, do tests, rehydrate him and possible surgery the next day. (they think he swallowed something).
I left my kitty, went home. 20 minutes later my phone rings and my kitty had stopped breathing. They revived him but told me I would need to take him to a different hospital but didn't know if he would survive the transport.
To make a long story short, I was told that my kitten had panleukopenia. I'm convinced that he contracted this while he was undergoing his surgery to get neutered. I made the heart wrenching decision to put him to sleep.
Now, I'm not knocking the Dr. for diagnosis or recommended treatment. I am however knocking the cleanliness of the facility and the Dr.'s professionalism. Right after making the decision to euthanize my kitten, the Dr. walks out the door and proceeds to joke around loudly and laugh with the nurses. It's not like I was expecting everyone to break down and cry with me or anything, but how about a little respect? I was there bawling my eyes out and he knew that. A nurse had to tell him to sshhh after a while.
And of course I got charged up the a**. They still charged me for a full nights hospital care and meds that he didn't even receive. He was only there for about 2 hours.
I just feel like the Dr.'s were insensitive and that they overcharged me.
Some of the nurses there were really compassionate and sincere. The Dr.'s though, were not.
I would highly recommend that you research reviews before taking your pet here. I obviously will not take any other pet there ever.
Pros: Nothing at all.
Cons: unethical, unprofessional, insensitive, money hungry, rude!!
