Boyd Veterinary Hospital

Super pleased with this vet clinic! I had to bring in 10 week old puppy after being hit by a car. I did not call ahead, just drove there. I said "I have a hit by car" and I was ushered immediately into a room with vets and techs taking vitals and prepping meds for the little guy. He has two broken legs, a few cracked ribs and will need surgery but thanks to their dedication and immediate response, he is going to pull through. I have worked as a vet tech for almost 15 years so I know when I see a good, cohesive team when I see one. These guys work well together, work fast, and jump into immediate action when needed.

I have since taken my 1 year old and 9 year old chihuahuas to them. Being new in town, after my very first experience with this clinic, I knew they were a team I could trust. Vet med is expensive and sometimes people either don't understand, won't understand or the complexities are not properly explained to the pet parent. But trust me, if you compare a line for line, a bill from veterinary medicine to your human practitioner, you will see at least a 10 fold increase in the prices. Last I checked, my basic human blood work costs almost $700 and for my dogs it runs about $150-200. It's the same damned machines!

Bottom line, I know you love them, but if you cannot afford the proper medical care and feeding an animal requires, should you have one? Make them a priority. If they are a member of your family, treat them like one in sickness and in health.

Stay away from this veterinary clinic. All they want is your money and the opportunity to practice cutting your animals up. In September, 2014, I took my 8 year old Chihuahua to this clinic only to be checked for worms. She had none. I also mentioned to the doctor that my Chihuahua was starting to lose her appetite. The doctor’s response was to start cutting my dog up. They wanted to spay my dog, and pull all her teeth out. I was not asked in any kind of detail about her loss of appetite! What?!?! Pull her teeth out because of her loss of appetite? Insane! When I said no, I would not do any of that to my dog, the doctor’s assistant literally got MAD at me, turned and left the room, SLAMMING the door about as hard as she could. Do not go to this clinic. Turns out my dog had chronic kidney disease and died on December 10th, 2014, skin and bone, because of her loss of appetite. The veterinarian could have done nothing anyway, but their actions and responses prompt me to advise against taking your pets to this clinic. All they want is your money!
