Good service. A bit pricey on re-check visits.

Yesterday I went to this animal hospital to humanly end the pain of our 7 year old leopard gecko after having a very grossly swollen leg for over a month, to not moving, or responding, not eating or having bowel movements, she was suffering. She was very loved and cared for given the proper diet and vitamin supplements. Our gecko loved calcium with vit D3 ate dusted crickets often. We agonized over the decision to end her pain for a long time. She was to the vet in Aldershot earlier in Oct. had ex-rays was prescribed antibiotics and anti inflammatory which she took for weeks but she stopped eating and having bowel movements. In fact we took her to the vet in Aldershot twice. We then took her to the reptile store as we know the girl who works there she gave much the same input as vet accept gave some more insight as to how amazingly diverse these reptiles are, that she may even drop the affected limb eventually as they do their tails.
Upon getting there yesterday the receptionist was very sympathetic to what we were going through. However the vet was not after examining our gecko he came out and very rudely started to asking questions about our care and efforts for our pet, and that this was just untreated MBD. Of course MBD was discussed in Aldershot and we were treating that possibility by giving her more calcium and D3, other than the UVB light we had done everything. And even if it was MBD maybe we didn't want her to live that way. I answered every question knowing full well we had done what we should and could to save our pet. I would recommend this clinic for the receptionist she really understood our pain in letting our pet go. The vet on the other hand was completely rude and insensitive I would not recommend this clinic for his bedside manner

DO NOT TAKE GUINEA PIGS HERE
so my guinea pigs were fine yesterday, but very sick today, took them in, one didnt even make it there.
the other one was very sick, he looked at her for maybe 10 seconds, tried to say shes skinny (890 grams is almost overweight for a female of her age, my little chubber)
told me to give her these vitamin c nuggets, which i did, but she very obviously had an upper resp infection.
he manhandled my furbaby and treated me and my boyfriend like children, no tact at all.
both of my furbabies are dead now, with the second being due to his lack of care with her, if she had gotten proper treatment, my baby pickles would still be here.

Support staff are all friendly and welcoming. They help make you feel at ease even in a nerve-wracking situation. Dr. Melissa Hardy is beyond excellent. She is very warm and her love for her animal patients is palpable. I would highly recommend her and if it were only her and the support staff this would be a 5 star review. However, their other doctor is competent... but extremely rude and uncaring. I brought my cat in due to an emergency, and he yelled at me because I was upset and asked him to be gentle with my cat because he was in a lot of pain. He left the room in a tantrum. Extremely childish behaviour from a so called professional. I am glad my poor cat was sedated for most of that particular visit, because this man treated him like a sandbag. Hauled him around by the skin on his back- not the loose neck skin. If you've ever accidentally done this to a non-sedated cat then you know they would yowl in pain. Sedation is no excuse for laziness and cruelty. He took a two hour lunch break in the midst of not only my own animal's emergency, but several others as well. If a medical doctor displayed this type of behaviour to his patients they would simply be fired. This man seems to resent animals and the fact that they occasionally get sick or injured as opposed to Dr. Hardy's obvious love and care. If he happens to be working, turn around and leave unless you have absolutely no other option.

They actually care about helping your pet get better, not just spending your money. Great service, thank you!
