Dr. Shaw & Dr. Simon have been treating our pets since the middle 80's, they are the best.

My terrier went in to be spayed everything seemed fine until 5 days later she started having muscle spasms, refused food/ water and drooled. I called they took me in immediately, and couldnt figure out what was wrong but reccommended blood test, free meds to take home and x rays Oh and gave her a penicillin shot. That was not my complaint, I took her home in the same condition and tried the meds overnite. Nothing changed so I was asked to come back in, mind me my dog is experiencing lock jaw, drooling, muscles spasms & severe trouble breathing. The next day, I got the blood test, penicillin again and fluids to keep her hydrated she stayed all day in their care, nothing changed. They called me right before they closed to tell me she was taking a turn for the worst and the diagnoses was probably Tetanus, I was told to take her to Blue Pearl, I did and 3 hrs later she was on her last leg they presented me with a bill of $1100-$1600 to stabilize her for 12-24 hrs! When I told them I didnt have that type of money, they reasoned so I asked for other options about putting her down, they came back a few minutes later to let me know she was on her last breath to quickly out her down so she wouldn't be in pain. I did so, she was a year old and very healthy before Vetcare Village. My point is they dont have enough experienced doctors with enough brains to diagnose in time for a pet to have a chance. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that gets in by a cut or wound, she had just been spayed and had no visible cuts or wounds accept the from the spay. You do not need blood test or x rays to diagnose Tetanus the symptoms are clear: drooling, muscle spasms, fever, lockjaw! She may still be alive if an experienced staff was working there I believe to give the anti-viral shot for tetanus and then other meds for the muscle spasms. I can't bring her back but you can save your pet by taking her somewhere that the staff cares about pets and not just a paycheck!

amazing staff.. everyone is very courteous.. the place is very clean.. and oh yeah most of all they really care!!! hard to find that these days. thanks so much for keeping googley zack happy and healthy.. the zacks

I took my dog here for 3 years and every visit was awful. They try to sell you on everything they have, when it is not necessary and then try to make you feel guilty for saying no. Every time I would take my dog in, they would tell me that he was too fat and needed to be on the food that they recommended and conveniently sold there at the office. I know what my dog should weigh and what the weight expectations for his breed are (which he is within). His new vet has since told me that he is a "fit and healthy dog". With every visit, also came the "flea lecture". Mind you, I used the meds that they recommended every month, I check his coat and skin regularly, give him regular baths and take preventative measures in and around my home and have not ever seen a flea on him. The staff at Vet Care are very unfriendly and uncaring. I do not recommend this place. All they care about is padding their wallet and not the actual well being of your pet.
