Dr. Lutz misdiagnosed a condition that is common in dalmations. She told me his urination appeared normal, and I should just keep an eye on him. Two days later (Saturday) I had to go to an emergency vet to save his life - his ureter was completely plugged. That vet told me that most dalmations over 8 years get bladder stones. (He was 8.) For follow up care, we went back to Dr. Lutz. She prescribed medication and Rx diet that he has been taking for two years. After taking him to another vet, I have found that she prescribed a dose of medication 5x higher than the formulary allowance - a dose that is high enough to cause additional problems. When we brought in our other dog, she determined that he had an extreme bout of pancreatitis that sped along his (previously slowly progressing) kidney failure. Before telling us that there was nothing we could do to save him, Dr. Lutz had the nerve to lecture us for not having his teeth cleaned earlier.
This was our first time me and my Pit at Piedmont and it was because of the reviews I read that I selected them. Though all were not favorable. The staff was polite and professional. The wait time was negligible which made me wish it was my doctors office. Dr. Lutz carefully took time with Laura and myself to make me comfortable with her diagnosis. In summary I was totally satisfied....
We have used this vet clinic for years and have always been impressed with their service and quality of care. The prices are very reasonable, there is no push to buy 'extra', and the staff are very friendly.
We've been bringing our show dogs to Piedmont Pets for years and love the care and attention they provide. One of our guys is 13 and still going strong, thanks to the care and attention of Dr. Lutz and her staff. You can go elsewhere, but you can't find better small-animal care in the Warrenton area.
I have used Piedmont Pets for 5 years. They have taken excellent care our two English Setters and helped us through a very serious illness with one of our dogs. The staff is VERY compassionate and it is obvious that they care about our dogs. As a business owner in Warrenton, I also understand that anonymous internet reviews are almost never accurate. My only recommendation is to interview any business about the services you want to purchase. You will find that established businesses in small towns like Warrenton only survive because they care about their customers and they love what they do.
