Paws & Claws

I have been going to Paws and Claws for years. All the Vet Doctors are great. I have a preference for Dr. Gert because he has performed two surgeries on two of my dogs and done an exceptional job. These were very complicated surgeries and very few vets could do either. When I had to put my beloved 14 year old Cockerspaniel Down March 2011 he was absolutley wonderful. My dog didn't like going inside the vet office, he allowed me to go on the side of the building (they have a large field) and lay a blanket down and have my last picnic wth my baby. I fed her all the favorite things she loves and wasn't always suppose to have. She had tuna fish and candy kisses. My son didn't want to put her down and couldn't see how badly she was suffering. Then when we were ready Dr. Gert came out to give her a shot to put her to sleep. Dr. Gert without knowing it said the most perfect thing. When Dr. Gert came outside he examined Tangee and said, "Yes it is time, she is suffering terribley". My son under stood then that she was miserable and there was nothing more we could do for her. I have been to many of the vets in Tallahassee and many of them seem to care but Dr. Gert I think is a better quality doctor, more skilled, especially in the surgery department. Also when my dogs have had to have special rehab or procedures I had to do for them at home he has taken valuable time to show me EXACTLY how to do it. I really appreicate him.

Within the last few months I have begun taking my two dogs to Dr. Guhrt. Last week, while on vacation, I noticed tapeworms in my 11 month old lab/rottie(?) mix. I called their office, concerned about how long the condition could go untreated since I would not be home for another week. The front office were very helpful, consulted with the doctor, and received the tablets for treatment in the NEXT day's mail. The worms were gone immediately and we enjoyed the rest of our vacation.
