    This place sucks!! This was my dogs primary vet for 3 years and they failed to tell me my dog wasn't current on her vaccines. 3 whole years my dog was unvaccinated. Now I am told by her new vet that she needs to be vaccinated annually. In those 3 years I took her to that vet at least 4 times. All the staff there are IGNORANT for not catching something so SIMPLE. My guess is that they want your dog to get sick, that way they can get all the money they can with treatments your poor little dog will have to endure. Do yourself a favor, get an AMERICAN vet. Maybe there won't be a language barrier when it comes to something SO SIMPLE like vaccines.

    If I could give them 0 stars, I would. They almost killed my dog. We went into their shot clinic and had our dog get her vaccines. They gave her 3 shots. We get her into the car and she was looking tired and listless. We get her home and she throws up twice and is acting lethargic. We call back and they tell us to bring her back in. We walk back in; she had started to look a tiny better on the way. The lady goes “She looks fine.” She was incredibly rude, and started acting as if we had made the whole thing up. She specifically looked at our dog’s gums and says “Her gums are fine”, she had an attitude the whole time and then says finally that she will take her back to have the doctor look at her. She brings her out, claims the doctor saw her and says our dog is fine, just to give her Benadryl (fails to tell us that most Benadryl contains Tylenol, which is poisonous to dogs, good thing we didn’t get one with Tylenol.) So we give her that, and a few hours later she throws up again, and starts to shake like she’s having a seizure. It was passed the time Elkhorn-Walerga Animal Hospital closed, so we called the emergency 24-hour vet and they said to bring her in right away. We brought her in and they immediately said she didn’t look good. They checked her gums, and said they were muddy a sure sign that she was having a bad reaction to the vaccines, she was going into anaphylactic shock. They put her on fluids, and gave her some shots of anti-allergy meds. She had to stay the night in the emergency vet hospital. Elkhorn Walerga Animal Hospital treated this as very unimportant to them. They did not want to deal with this, they wanted to continue with their shot clinic, and getting people in and out of there. I later found out that giving animals 3 vaccines at a time increases the chance of them having an allergic reaction by 50%! Animals already have a chance and they increased it by 50%!!! If they had told us this increased her risk of having a reaction, we would have NEVER allowed them to give her 3 shots at once. This is crazy, and unacceptable. If they had helped her when we first came back, it would have saved money and heartache. We will never go back to Elkhorn Walerga Animal Hospital, and we will be telling anyone we come across with pets our story and to not trust this hospital either.

    I've been bringing my cat here since he was a kitten, and I've always had excellent service. They are very upfront about the costs, giving you an estimate before they do anything. They also have a vaccine clinic on Saturdays, where vaccinations are very inexpensive. My cat had to get IV fluids once, but since they didn't write it on the estimate, I wasn't charged for it! The staff and the doctors are very friendly, and they really care about taking care of the animals. I would recommend them

    This place is really good! The staff are so helpful, caring, and understanding. The staff here work with you, they really do actually care about your pets and you. They also have very great affordable prices. Thank you so much for saving my dog after being hit by two cars. I can't thank you enough. Again, Thank you! (:
