Rainbow River Animal Hospital

The worst experience of my life as well as my dog. The handling of my dog was with no concern or compassion. She was extremely stressed out by the ordeal. 4 vaccines were given, one I didn’t want. Toy breeds should not get leptospirosis vaccines unless at great risk. My dog was not at risk. Anaphylactic shock was the result and she had to be hospitalized at a different animal hospital. Plus misdiagnosed dry eye with expensive drops ordered. Very expensive visit did not compare to the possibility of my precious dog dying. I am mad at myself for letting this bully take advantage of us. I should be compensated for the hospitalization of my dog.

This hospital is over the edge on cost. New to the area from Northern VA after retiring from teaching Veterinary Nursing for 31 years as a Licensed Vet Tech I was extremely uncomfortable, my first visit with two dogs for well check and vaccines was well over $500. In addition, my dogs had never received a Lepto Vaccine so was given that to return in 3 weeks for the booster. After paying $55 for lifetime vaccines per dog, the return visit was still going to cost over $90 for an office visit just to booster each dog! I asked why they didn't have Vet Tech appointments...no Licensed Vet Techs!! Shame on you Rainbow River Animal Hospital and shame on Florida for not requiring licensure! Without Licensed Vet Techs as part of the team, knowledge of medicine and quality of care is lower. I won't go back...
