DON'T GO HERE!

Monday I had Mia fixed and declawed at help for animals, and they had to keep her overnight for observations. I picked her up on Tuesday and she was feeling just fine, other than being sore. Wednesday I noticed she was acting weird, and barely walking, but I just thought she was drunk because of her pain medicine. Thursday was even worse, she wasn't eating or drinking, walking, using the potty, and wouldn't move. Then yesterday, she started breathing real heavy. I called the emergency number for help for animals and all she said was to give her yogurt and tuna and that she'd call me back at 9pm about another prescription of antibiotics. Never called until 3 today. We had to take her to the ER in kenova last night and thank goodness we did. My poor girls stomach was badly infected, and running a fever of 105. Come to find out help for animals doesn't use sterile instruments for surgery and cut every corner they can to get 50 animals done in one day, INCLUDING USING THE SAME SCALPEL on god only knows how many other animals. Mia could have died because of this and still isn't feel the best. She's now on 2 antibiotics and pain medicine all because help for animals is cheap and lazy. So if you have animals needing fixed, please be aware of this and take them somewhere else unless you want your baby almost dying. I guess it is true, ya get what you pay for. Never again will I go to help for animals

My family has taken several pets, 3 dogs (Chow mix, Australian shepard & a Yorky mix), along w/ two cats to have them spayed. Every animal was treated VERY well! They all received a free rabies shots. The surgeries all went perfectly & didn't cause scarring. I would recommend them to anyone. They are awesome!!!!!

They Killed My 4 Year Chihuahua, He Started To Throw Up Constantly, Took Him In, They Looked At Him (No Test) Said It Was A Heart Murmur And Gave Him A Shot, Heart Medicine And Antibiotics, Said He Would Be OK In A Few Days, To Bring Him Back In Three Days, Before I Got Him Back To The Car, He Started Bleeding Very Bad From Bowels, Rushed Him Back In, Again (No Test ) At All, Said Inflamed Bowels, Got Him Home And In About Few Hours Started To Get Very Worse (Bleeding From Bowels Very Bad, Throwing Up, Could Not Hold Water Down, Got To The Point He Would Not Try To Drink Nothing, By Then I Tried To Call Them (Closed) So I Talked To Their Answering Service, To Have Doctor Call Me, No One Never Called Me At All, Like No One Cared, By Then I Called A 24 Hours ER For Animals, Never Knew 24 Hour Animal ER Was Available, Took Him There, They Said The Would Try To Save Him But He Was Very Bad, Ran Blood Work And Other Test, But He Died, They Said He Died From Kidney Failure!! PS:Very Special, Very Smart Intelligent Dog, Not Like, But He Was My Family, Even Had Birth Certificate With Him Having My Last Name, I Would Not Trust These People With No Animal Of Any Kind, If You Love Them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have taken several animals to be spayed at this clinic. The people were very nice, the vets were friendly and took time to talk with us. My animals healed very well, and I have told several friends about this clinic. With the high cost of animal health, this place has been a blessing for me and my furry kids.

Cheap prices and cheap service...

Cheap prices and cheap service. Rude front desk and they butchered my dogs neutering. They missed a testy the first time. ???Don't ask me??? Had to do it twice (few weeks in between) and the second time they didn't even stitch him back up properly, leaving a huge open wound. Will not take my pets back and absolutely would not recommend this place.

Didn't know gender

This clinic was recommended to me because of the low price of services. My puppy was taken into this clinic three times...and it wasn't until the third time that they realized my puppy was a female dog, not a male. I was outraged (and embarrassed) and will not be taking my animal there again or recommend this clinic to anyone. I gave one star because of their very low prices. I am concerned that the low prices translated into a poor level of care and inattention to what should be rather obvious details to a trained professional.

Care and Concerns

I have my first pet ever, a Boston Terrier that I got from a friend when he was only 8 weeks old. He has been a true blessing to me. We took him for his first shots a few weeks ago, and I was very pleased that the wait was not long even though there was a line. The girl that administered the shot was very friendly and answered all my questions. She advised me of my pets needs for vaccinations and if we decide to neuter him (definitely very soon) how it is handled (drop him off in the morning, pick him up in the evening, free Rabies shot with neutering). I was very grateful for the information she provided. I'm sure they will do a great job when I take him in for neutering.

Help For Animals is a great clinic. They took good care of my dogs

and the staff was very friendly and sufficient for the amount of animals

that come in each day. The Veterinarian was very friendly and took time to

answer your questions or concerns.. Thanks guys and gals!!
