The staff is nice, but not very upfront. My cat’s condition was severe over a week ago and was prescribed medication and was told to wait 8 days for it to work - which it didn’t. Not only was his eye medication ineffective, so were the appetite stimulants. Only after the 8 days did I get a referral to a specialist, and they still wanted me to pay for extra blood work, totaling over $900. Time and money that could’ve been used to save my cat. Now I have to consider euthanasia.
Took my 2 year old cat here 5 mths ago and couldn't even write this til now. Couldn't even handle getting his ashes til this week.. we took him at the first signs of him being sick. They tell me urinary block and they need $500 up front to work on him right away. They bring me back an hour later and hes still in his carrier and it was first time vet looked at him. She literally asked me what was going on today. They also had me wait at the counter a good twenty mins to pay it. And told me what he had in a crowded waited room. Made it seem desperate to get money right away and then left him in a carrier. We had to leave him. They were closing within two hours at it was Friday. The vet said next 24 hours is serious but we got him there quickly( for reference he was fine the night before I have pics of him playing and we were at vet by 10 am). They tell me all this standing in room with him and she was so cold not even slightly kind but assistant turns to me and says this is highly treatable and hes stable. She is the only reason they don't have one star. She was lovely and I believe she wanted to treat him right away but they didn't let her. They say its another 1000 i might be able to get him saturday but prob monday. And she will call me to check in before she leaves that night . She never did and no news is good news right? Wrong!! I have to be honest I left and didn't think he could even possibly die so I told my kids he was going to be fine and I believed it too. This cat was my soul mate my best friend the best cat that ever lived I know so many say that but everyone that saw me and Oliver together knew it. Saturday at 9 am when they open my phone rings I answer excitedly thinking I'm going to be able to get him early and the lovely male vet says he has bad news. I dropped to the ground and begged and screamed . I still don't understand I really dont His kidneys failed? How? I did everything I was supposed to to save him I'd have given them my arm, my leg an eye anything!!! Anyways Oliver is gone he's gone and I still can't deal with it part of me is now gone. I had to tell my boys who by the way already lost our 5 year old dog to a long battle with cancer in 2020 and then their grandfather from Covid. I told the vet this before I left him and begged her to help him. Again the assistant said he was stable. He was alert and he was meowing me and trying to come to me. I don't even know if there is staff there at night. I believe they didn't work on him right away and that's why this happened and then left my anxious mommas boy alone all night. He suffered and was scared and died alone. I'll never know for sure but in my heart I know it. He was the sweetest boy u could ever know. They took the best thing I have and didn't give it back to me in one piece. They took 400 off my 1500 bill ....that's it. He wasn't even there 24 hours. For all I know he was dead within 12 and they still charged me that much. Ps after getting his ashes and paw print it was pretty much same amount I believe I got $40 back in the end and my beautiful two year old cat in a box. I think if ur there for shots or a check up it's fine but be aware as well it's all walk ins and ur packed like sardines. I told them more than once it was an emergency and still sat there for over an hour until I noticed he was barely responding and told them I needed immediate help. For an emergency go to an emergency vet hospital pay the little bit more. Also should have picked him up and taken him to be cremated myself I know the place they sent him to and it would have been at least $100 cheaper to do it myself. I am now a broken person. Please please don't take a sick pet here. It was so awful. I now use world of animals and they are amazing. I blame myself for not going elsewhere but I didn't know my step mom used them for 20 years. Ps she now doesn't use them either and for her own reasons. I want my baby back and that won't ever happen. I truly hate this place
The staff are simply amazing! Compassionate and professional. The doctor saved my dog's life on several occasions, and allowed him to have the quality of life which would've otherwise been impossible. I'll be forever grateful.
First time there but won’t be my last. The staffing was so nice and helpful. The veterinarian was amazing to me and my cat daughter . And help her through this difficult pregnancy . Me and big momma appreciate you and staff
This place was refreshing. The vet looked at my cat without an appointment and didn’t over sale vaccinations etc. My cat hates going to the vet but they worked with her and didn’t act scared like the other veterinary in the area. Great prices, great customer service and my cat is feeling better now. Found my vet
Our cat spent the last seconds of his life here. Thank to the Brees Animal Hospital for accepting us without waiting in line! Thank you for being able to come to you without “three months of waiting for an appointment”! Thank you for helping pets and showing care!
