Carlisle Small Animal Veterinary Clinic

Shocking to read two of the negative posts below - Ive been going to this Vet clinic for over 25 years. My family also uses this clinic exclusively. Dr. Barb Strock and Dr. Curt Barnett (may his everlasting, genuine and kind soul rest in peace) single-handedly saved two of my dogs lives with just a feel to the abdomen and immediately detecting a growth on their spleens. This clinic and their staff are very progressive and are always up to date with the latest procedures, medications and techniques. I cannot express enough the high standards they adhere to. They treat your pet like their own with the utmost highest levels of love and care.

I called Friday morning to ask if I could bring my sick cat in. They asked if I could be there in half an hour--turns out they gave up their lunch time to see us. They called Sat morning with test results (neg). The meds they had given him were working by then, and the doc called again Sun night to see how he was doing. I've been taking my cat there for almost six years and have always had great experiences. Would recommend them for sure.

My mother brought my cat there to have her declawed and spayed. I live over an hour and a half away. They told me my cat would return the next day. The day prior to they had called my cell phone to remind me of my appointment. When I returned from school I was hoping to see my cat. Nothing. So I called my mom and she said oh no they kept your cat for another day. I freaked out. I asked why. Something with a bandage. I asked why they didn't call me since it was my cat. No answer. So I called them. First they argued and said they did speak to me. When I said I wasn't my mother and they spoke with the wrong person, they hung up on me. I called back. Then they said they weren't going to speak to me only to the person that dropped the cat off and hung up on again. Then I called back and asked to speak to the doctor. I was put on hold for 20 minutes then hung up on again. I called back a 4th time and asked them if Im the owner and the one paying for my cat shouldn't I get the phone call they hung up on me again. I still have no answer and my cat still has not come back to my house. I would not suggest sending your animal to this clinic!!!

My dog had a tumor which was misdiagnosed. The vet said that it was a sweat gland that was infected; that it would probably get bigger and drain. He said there was no need for concern.



A while later it got really big and started to drain. I couldn't help but be concerned so I sought a second opinion. Good thing too! The vet walked in the room and immediately said, that's a tumor (before any exam was even done).



Also, when a cat of mine passed away they failed to offer an urn (which from past experiences with vet's offices I just thought the urn was included). So, when I got my cat's ashes back they were in a plastic bag!



I will never! NEVER! go back there and I will tell anyone! that they need to go anywhere but here.
