I don't why it is but my dog goes off with the doctor at ECLAP like she's going on a lark. The doctors and attendants have good bedside manners and I've yet to feel like we were being rushed out the door. And if you have to wait they have a pleasant sitting area outside. ECLAP is a ways away, unlike our former vet, but the drive is worth it. Also, ECLAP isn't as expensive as our former vet.
I have a theory....it may be the odor of death and chemicals that dogs don't like at vets as the reason they are fearful of going there. ECLAP is an open-air structure where it's ventilated naturally so that odor, if present, wouldn't linger.
Dr. Harlan and the staff were very kind and compassionate when we had to take our 15yr old dog to them to say our last goodbye. It was a difficult day but they were very nice and explained everything before easing her into her last moments. ECLAP has been there for us when we needed kindness and we appreciate you all very much. Thank you for making a rough day a little easier with your wonderful vets and staff.
I was truly impressed with how accommodating and nice everyone was at ECLAP. When my long time Vet was out of town and ECLAP was their back up, I was able to call about a situation and although it would be weeks before they could come to my ranch, I was able to secure an appointment for just a couple days away. I trailered my horse to their facility and was treated for the non emergency issue. My experience was wonderful with the knowledgeable, efficient and friendly staff. Dr Blanche was great
Thank you for your care and ability to put an animal owner's mind at ease.
