It has been several years since a vet at Best Friends pushed me to euthanize my cat. My poor kitty struggled against it. She ran away. I was crying. The vet should have said it was okay to wait. I've since worked with vets much wiser and now know the process is supposed to be smooth and gentle. I write this so they might learn something. If a cat and owner are not ready or seem highly confused, tell the owner it's okay not to proceed. I would have gladly paid the fee and waited until my cat and I were ready.

This veterinarian is the most unprofessional, immature, narcissistic person I have ever experienced in my life. She constantly demeans her staff, yells at them, throws things at them, and throws things towards the animal patients.I have no idea how she got licensed, but she needs to go back to kindergarten where she can learn how to treat people correctly and learn decent, proper manners.

I don't mind "curbside" when ordering a burger from some fast-food burger joint, but I draw the line with curbside animal care...not my animals anyway! I see such impersonal care from out in the parking... read full review
