Pets are People Too

Boarding here = Never again! I picked my dog up at 11 a.m. after a two day stay and she crapped (bloody stool) in their lobby. She's never had an "accident" so in shock I ask the employee why this might be happening and what might be wrong. He tells me she hadn't been let outside yet! 11:00 a.m. and hadn't been let out of her kennel to go to the bathroom!!! She's a smart dog and thankfully that was the only way she could communicate to me how horrible they were to her. Then I get her bag back which had contained specific instructions for treats in the a.m. and different treats after her medication. None of the treats were given to her! I will never do business here again! Really, I couldn't believe the kennel employee told me they'd been too busy to walk my dog that morning - yeah, well next time don't take that many dogs. At least mine will be one less at your kennel.

In addition, I know the price seems good at first, but in the long run you won't save because your dog will be sick and uncared for at that facility - and the price quote and price charge are two different things once they add in a bunch of hidden random fees anyway. Next time, I'll pay up for the peace of mind.

I've had several bad experiences here. They almost killed my cat by giving him the wrong meds. But, they did kill my friends cat. Please do not take your animals here, even if it is past normal vet hours. If you need an emergency vet, then please call Village Vets in Decatur or Georgia Veternarian Clinic. You and your animal will be glad that you did.

Do not trust this practice with your animals. This is a corporate practice whose main interest "money" will always come before your animal's welfare. If you do some research you will find other "local" clinics that charge far less and require less manditory testing. You will not find fees like biohazard, disposable needles etc, at most clinics. They also have a rule about splitting up flea and heartworm preventative into single doses..they claim this is a law..if so, most local clinics are pretty loose about this "law". Also, the quality of the staff has gone down hill. The people they employ are not professional and seem miserable in their jobs.

What is really sad is that The Humane Society has made a deal with this company to send them new clients in exchange for a free exam for adopters. This is really sad!! The Humane Society wants to be supported locally but they send adopters to the most expensive "corporate" hospital in town..instead of some of the other"local" hospitals which support the rescue efforts of this city and work to make animal healthcare affordable in the city of Atlanta.

I paid over $2000.00 for a mis-diagnosis at this hospital. The correct services that got my pet well cost $60.00 at another "local" clinic.

This practice does not care and they will turn you away with a dying pet, in the middle of the night if you can't produce a large sum of money before services.

All I can say is, For shame VCA/ Pets Are People Too!!!!

I have two dogs that were patients at PETS ARE PEOPLE TOO. Today july 13th, i went in to get a single dose of heart worm medicine for one of them. Because of the recession i can not afford six month doses at this time, and haven't been able to for a couple months now. PETS ARE PEOPLE TOO, refused to sell me a one month dose this time. Their reason was that they no longer feel that the single doses are being administered properly???? So apparently I am capable of administering a six month dose but not a single dose!!!!! I am very angry. I also tried purchasing from PET MEDS., but when they called PETS ARE PEOPLE TOO, to get them to sign off on the meds., PETS ARE PEOPLE TOO, refused, even though my dogs were current with their shots and heart worm test. Their reason was because the generic meds. i wanted wasn't a med. they(PETS ARE PEOPLE TOO) CARRIED!!! I was trying too take care of my dogs, PETS ARE PEOPLE TOO'S patients. They are more concerned with their bottom line than the health of my dogs. I found a feed store in the next county that sells yearly vaccinations and heart worm meds. for a fraction of the cost, and i dont have too spend a hundred fifty dollars for an exam and office visit to get my supplies. This feed store is a saving grace, worth checking out.

After going to Pets Are People too for over 15 years, I was recently enlightened to find out that the top priority at this vet clinic is to get as much money out of you before walking out the door. Almost everytime I leave this clinic, my bill is rarely less than $200. This vet prescribes unnecessary procedures and tests simply to make more money. The last straw was when my elderly pet needed a small tumor removed; They quoted a price of almost $700!. I ended up getting this same procedure done at another local clinic for less than $200. After 15 years, I will not be going back to this vet again.
