Parkersburg Veterinary Hospital: Stalnaker Nicole DVM

Apr 2023

The doctor kept asking us if we were happy with our Siberian Husky as if there was something wrong with having a Husky (this is our 3rd one). Some Huskys are real drama queens like mine but they didn't know how to handle her. They should have asked me to help but didn't. Instead she was terrorized. They have grooming on site which was part of the reason we went there (we're new to the area). After getting her shots we made an appointment for grooming and they told us they wouldn't allow grooming unless she got an unnecessary flue shot which I refused to allow. They just wanted to pad their bill. Apparently the groomer got wind of what happened and quit the same day. We found out because the groomer heard our dogs name at the pet store (several miles away) and told us what happened. We were supposed to go back for another flea/tick shot but I was so disgusted we won't be going back. I really miss my vet in Florida.

You guys set an appointment for my friend to come from HOURS away knowing they were going to bring in a bearded dragon with a respiratory problem and wasn't doing well! You turned them away for no reason! How does one break this to a child!? Terrible service!! Do not waste your time coming here!

Great doctors, but the staff is extremely rude. There's a big sign on the door demanding mask compliance, even though there's no mask mandate in the state. Instead of walking in without a mask, I called them and asked for someone to bring the flea medication out to my car. I told her I'm not going to wear a mask, because the blue surgical masks are sprayed with a disinfectant that acts like asbestos on the lungs. Another girl brought out the medication and told me that I made the girl on the phone really mad. She said they didn't appreciate me being like that. I said I didn't know I was being any way? She said I was being selfish. Yea, I'm selfish for wanting to breath oxygen instead of CO2. At least I stayed in my car. I told her I just thought they should know about the masks. She very rudely said, "I don't care!" She then brought politics into it and accused me of watching FOX new. LOL! She was so mad she was shaking. Too many people have drank the Kool-Aid! All this over a cold virus that has a 99.5% or better recovery rate. Geesh!
