I've been going here for rats and will be going here for my new puppy as well. No, they are not the cheapest---but then again, that's not what I'm thinking about when I choose a vet. I want the best care possible for my pet and I make sure I can afford it by getting pet insurance. I've gotten very good care for my pets here. They never once looked down on my pets because they were rats (and this has happened at other vets) and they understood that they were family members. Indeed, one of the vets there, Dr. Pavlovsky, has twice taken his own time, once before his hours were supposed to start and once when he was about to leave, to check on my pets, once because my rat had suddenly started turning over onto her back and the other time purely because he'd dealt with my rat the most and wanted to make sure she was doing better after all the trouble she'd been having. They were always honest with me about what tests they thought were needed to diagnose and never pushed any just because they were more expensive. They've always treated my pets wonderfully and that is why I will continue to go there.
