My dog gave birth to one puppy 2 days prior to needing help. The event was going south real fast, her labor stopped with possible 2 other pups unborn. Out of despair I went to this place. It was close, it was a hospital, and open.
My dog is dischargeing goey,black-red, fluid with the most nauseating oder. I don't need to go college to determine that a pup is stuck in the birth canal, the Vet says " a foreign object". His exam consisted of putting a mussle on her, squeezing her abdomen, listen to her heart. Leaves to make a plan for exrays, and do a C- section to remove the "object". NOPE, now it's talk money time. I don't have anything to put up, the assistant says I would have to put something towards the bill when I come to pick up my dog after the surgery. I got upset, she left, came back a minute later and informed me that they were not able to help me and advised me to seek charities for financial assistance! What half-baked, money hungry, nitwit of a Vet allows a dog to continue to carry dead pups inside of her while they are poisoning her body! A cold, heartless, Veterinarian (probably an online degree) here. I had to leave with my dog desperately needing medical, life saving, attention at a Animal Hospital for Christ sake due to not giving them money. This guy refused treatment for my dog, dismissed us, didn't even come back into the room and lie himself had the airhead assistant bareface lie to me. Sorry people that was my first and last experience at this so called hospital. One star is over credited.
We used Community while in town visiting relatives. Dr. Block and the entire staff was absolutely phenomenal in caring for my fur baby. When my other dog needed care, I made the 1 1/2 hour trek over from NFM to take her to Community. For me, it’s worth the trip to get exceptional care for my babies. Recommend them highly.
Dr Block and her amazing staff today were very caring and considerate of my older kitty who unfortunately got a diagnosis of cancer in the liver. They were compassionate and helped on the bill for services that were estimated but not needed after all. I would highly recommend them, I have brought all my cats there and 1 dog so far. Amazing staff. Thank you
Resuscitated cat without asking, but also failed to tell us anything like that happened while directing us to another provider for overnight care.
Wife brought one of our cats in as he was being very lethargic. Was told they would check him out and get back to us. Initial quote was a 300, then was told he needed a catheter, told would be about 3k when said and done. When went to pick him up was told he needed to go to an different vet for overnight care to make sure things were good. Got to the recommended overnight vet and during consultation there was informed he had gone into cardiac arrest and been resuscitated, something community animal hospital never mentioned to us also we would not have wanted him to be resuscitated. So suddenly we are looking at much more and intensive care at the second provider.
I had a very good experience here. They were able to get my kitty Sam in with a same day appointment on a Saturday. They were so gentle with my scared boy who had a respiratory infection and inflammation in his lungs.
The office visit cost is very reasonable. ($50) The cost for the tests are about average.
The vet tech that helped me, I think his name was Michael, was kind, empathetic and compassionate.
I have multiple cats and I think this is going to be our go to spot from now on.
Here's a picture of my orange boy, Sam Winchester, and his sister Fera.
Worst vet in the world. Completely incompetent and will waste your time. Made us waste an HOUR while they cleaned up after a dog. They REQUIRED OUR DOG to get a muzzle and after we put it on him, said it was not an adequate muzzle. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN???? WHAT KIND OF AWFUL VET DOESNT HAVE ADEQUATE MUZZLES IF THEY REQUIRE IT. Gave us instructions for calming medicine then said they wouldn’t have requested that. THESE GUYS ARE CHEAP AND YOU PAY WITH YOUR SOUL. THIS IS THE WORST VET IN THE COUNTY. Unless my pet was bleeding out next to this terrible clinic I would take them some place else. The VET IS SUPER RUDE as well, constantly FAT SHAMING our dog
Referred to CAH from sister vet in Dunedin for abdominal ultrasound on my dog. Very happy with Dr. Block and the entire staff who helped my dog (and me) through his gallbladder removal and recovery! They were caring, compassionate and truly concerned about my dog's well being! Highly recommend their services!
