Review content:
I took my dog to Blum for about a year after finally deciding that enough was enough. I went in for a routine physical and they called me later and told me that my dog had a parasite called giardia. They told me he could have picked it up pretty much anywhere (park, daycare,etc.) and that it wasn't a big deal and they prescribed me an antibiotic called metronidazole. He took the meds and they tested his stool a week later and they said it was gone. \r

About 2 weeks later he got really bad watery stool. So, I went back to Blum and they told me had giardia again! They put him on the same medication and once again he got better and when they tested his stool it was negative after the dose of metronidazole. Well, once again 2 weeks later he had loose stool again! When I went to see my vet at Blum he told me that he must be getting at daycare or at the park. I just found this very hard to believe so I went and got a 2nd opinion from another veterinarian at another hospital. I told them the story and they told me that giardia is VERY HARD TO ELIMINATE and that the antibiotic they put my dog on (Metronidazole) would probably not wipe out the parasite just simply stop the loose stool for awhile. This other veterinarian, presribed Panacur and Metronidazole. My dogs stool was tested after 7 days, 14 days, and again 40 days later....low and behold no more giardia! \r
\r
It just really frustrates me that Blum blamed everyone and everything but their own practices. What a waste of time and money I spent with them. Thankfully I now have a vet I can trust will cure my dog in the future.
Cons: Couldn't cure my dog, placed the blame on others instead of themselves, rude front desk, very expensive, don't get what you pay for
