Dr. Ricklefs has been taking care of my pets for 16 years. She has always been loving and caring to my Sheltie and 2 cats. There is exquisite value for the prices she offers. My animals and I have always been treated with dignity and respect by the whole staff. Every one of them care about the animals. Everything they do is for the welfare of my pets. My oldest cat Muffin had fluid in the chest and could not breath. I will never forget the miracle she performed to save him. He is now doing better than ever before thanks to her!

I took my cat in for a declaw and was treated with great respect. My cat is rather shy but when I picked him up the employees were treating him with great care. They commented how good he was doing which showed me how much they cared for the animals they treat. I highly recommend this place.

How can All Pets Animal Hospital $36.00 exam fee cost you over $365.00? This is how it happened to me. Our cat Autumn started having milky white mucus running from her nose, she stopped eating and cleaning herself. After calling around we decided to take her to All Pets Animal Hospital a friend also said they were good and their exam fee was only $36.00. we took Autumn in on a Saturday morning, and didn't have to wait long, to be shown to an exam room, the DVM took her in back because the hair on her hind quarters was matted and needed to be clipped away. and to look into her mouth. when the DVM came back she told us that Autumn had an infection in her gums and that we needed to bring her back in a week from Monday for a teeth cleaning and possibly have one or two teeth removed, she gave us an antibiotic to give her to reduce the infection before the teeth cleaning/tooth extraction. The cost of the visit was 80 some odd dollars for the exam and antibiotics. The antibiotics did wonders for Autumn and we showed up at All Pets Animal Hospital for the teeth cleaning appointment at 7:30am and were shown to the exam room again, this time a different DVM came in, we told her that we had brought Autumn in for her teeth cleaning, she took Autumn in back, then brought her back and pronounced her healthy, "what about the infection in her gums, the teeth cleaning and possible tooth extraction?" we asked. the DVM opened her mouth and looked in it and said, "oh, my, we'll have to do something about that." "Yes, that's why we brought her in, for her teeth cleaning/tooth extraction." "Well, we will have to set up an appointment for that, I'll have someone come in and explain what's involved, what it will cost and set up the appointment," and she left. A nice lady came in and told us that it would cost around $89.00 for the teeth cleaning and $15.00 per tooth pulled, we got an appointment for the following Tuesday (Monday was Memorial Day) at 7:30am gave us some more antibiotic to keep the infection away and it only cost us another 80 plus dollars. When we arrived on Tuesday at 7:30am we were asked to initial a piece of paper for the $85.00 blood work fee. "$85.00 blood work fee no one told us about that! That means that it will be $174.00 instead of the $89.00 we were told." "Well, we need to put the cat out before it can have its teeth cleaned and the Dr. won't do that on a cat over 7 years old without doing the blood work first." "OK, whatever just take care of Autumn." I initialed the paper and we left Autumn to have the work done. when we returned the next day to pick up Autumn we were told that everything went well and no teeth needed to be pulled and that we owed them $205.00." "$205.00!!"! I exclaimed, "why $205.00? I thought it was $89.00 for the teeth cleaning and $85.00 for the blood work!" "Well, the teeth cleaning was only $84.00, but you still have to pay the $36.00 exam fee, so that will be $205.00 please." Thank God she said please or I might have got mad! so let us add it up $80.00 for the first visit $80.00 for the second visit and $205.00 to fix the problem for a total of $365.00. and now I can't pay rent at the beginning of next month, I know they gave my cat the best of care but they should have been more up front with their pricing and have kept the first teeth cleaning appointment, I would have saved me at least $80.00 and I could have figured out how to get the money in advance.

I brought my puppy in for his first check up, Dr. Ricklefs, was rude to me, talked down to me and told me I was irresponsible. Little did she know, if I hadn't adopted my puppy at that time, he would have been put down. She tried to have me buy several products that he didn't need and she also was rough with my puppy the first time I came in. She never asked any questions, simply did a few things and left me with a very high bill. Never going back again.

I took my little chihuahua to this vet because they had the best prices in town. I told the vet what vaccines I wanted for my dog and she ended up giving her ones I didnt ask for and charged me more than expected. But what really bugged me was when I went in, my dog was scared and cowering and the vet lady picked her up and shook her and yelled at her and when my chihuahua gave me a sad glance she said to me meanly "Dont you baby her!" and then she rough handled her when she whined about the shots and blood test. I prefer vets who like animals and treat them like they are a part of your family!
