While I always found them to be VERY expensive, I was definitely a fan the first couple years, but in the past year or so, I've noticed much longer wait times and a steep decline in service/care quality and can no longer justify the exhorbitant prices. During our last visit for our shih tzu's excessive itching/scooting (even after gland expressions), the vet (Asian woman who I'd never seen there prior - not sure of her name) insisted that I should be washing her TWICE PER WEEK! She suggested that part of the reason her allergies weren't being appropriately managed (even though she's on Apoquel and Cytopoint) is that we weren't bathing her at least twice a week. As this advice contradicted what I'd always been told, I decided to take her to Chewy Vet care in Midtown (which I loved and will likely use going forward) for a second opinion. I'm not sure if there's been a change in ownership/management, but it seems like turnover may be an issue. Last November, they sent an email saying that Dr. Martindale and Dr. Halleran were leaving, then abruptly sent another email saying they weren't leaving). I only mention this as it seems to be emblematic of broader management issues. In the past I was really impressed with the support staff in particular - they seemed like super dedicated, attentive animal lovers - but during more recent visits I've noticed many new faces offering pretty robotic, uninspired service. It's unfortunate to see the decline; hopefully, they'll get it together and restore the previous level of care.

This place is friendly enough and usually fairly convenient but it is very expensive. Im frustrated that they denied a request for a 3 month supply of my dog's flea & tick prescription because they wanted me to bring him in to be seen to approve the refill. We've been in in the past year and he is current on all his shots. Forcing him in for the sole purpose of approving a prescription refill request when he's recently been seen and is in perfect health is just ridiculous. Ill be taking him elsewhere going forward.

I’ve visited both the Inman Park and Reynoldstown locations and the staff is absolutely wonderful! They always take great care of my senior cat. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate and thoughtful vet care!
