Review content:
I took my nearly 1 yr old pup to Dove Lewis for a partial blockage on Sat night. She was not in crisis but it was obvious to me that she had a recent blockage & I wanted her on IV fluids until I could get her to my personal vet. I didn't qualify for financial aid, if they even really have such a thing, & I was told if my pup had a crisis during the night & I weren't able to put down a $3,000 deposit in cash or on a credit card, they would euthanize my dog ""in a very humane way"". I was shocked. She was a healthy dog other than the partial blockage. Luckily my pup made it until early Mon morning when I picked her up & rushed her to my vet. Dove Lewis took one x-ray & kept her on IV fluids from around 8pm Sat night until 8am Mon morning without a crisis. No other treatment was provided & my bill was over $1,000. My vet took her in around 9 am & took an x-ray every 2 hrs until shortly after noon when he performed a difficult surgery to removed the small towel she swollowed. To be safe he kept her until Friday afternoon, coming in the evening to check on her. Several days later he removed her stitches & my bill was just over $900 & I didn't get the hard sell job to run more tests. When I sent Dove Lewis an e-mail asking why they advertise that they treat animals for free to save their life, they said they didn't have any more money for charity.\r

A vet tech that used to work for my vet had also worked for Dove Lewis. According to this tech, Dove Lewis spent a small fortune on a new state-of-the-art machine & discussed openly amongst the staff that they need to use it any chance they get so they can bill the $2,000+ charge per test to help pay for the machine. This is not the old Dove Lewis that cared about the lives of animals, although they would like you to think so. This is a new corporation that cares about their bottom line at the expense of the animals AND the owners' pocketbooks. I have since used the emergency clinic in Tualatin & am very happy with the treatment & the cost. My vet has since taken Dove Lewis' number off his answer machine & replaced it with the Tualatin emergency clinic.
Pros: None
Cons: They would rather kill a dog than treat it for free
