We arrived at our appointment early. Since no one else was on time they took us right in. The vet tech arrived in the room and explained that the receptionist should have entered our dogs shot record into the system. The vet tech asked if our dog was neutered we stated that he was and his paper from the vet that neutered him was in his records that she NEVER even looked at and she proceeded to actually feel the dogs empty sac because she didn't believe he was neutered. Wow what a first impression! So we started talking about the health of our dog. Our dog was a rescue that we had rescued 6 weeks before this day. When we rescued him you could see every bone in his body. At this point he had put some weight on but I thought he should gain some more weight. The vet tech told us that our dog looked good she explained how since he is a GSD mix she liked them on the thin side so he didn't have any other medical issues like hip dysplasia etc. In our dogs records he had also had a 9 way distemper shot that was bought at central tractor and the vet tech told us those shots are only water and have no value. I was a little in shock. By this point we had no idea that a licensed vet would even come into the room. Well the vet tech took our dog out to test him for heart worms and parasites etc. She then brought him back into the room. After a few moments a vet appeared. The vet had told us the TOTAL OPPOSITE of what the vet tech said. He stated our dogs body condition was a 3 not a 5 like the vet tech had stated. He needed to gain weight just like I had expressed. The vet tech told us in 3 months to ween him to dog food and off puppy food and the vet told us to start him on dog food now because the puppy food is too rich for his system. The whole appt. was very displeasing. We will not be returning to them any time in the future. Apparently their vet tech thinks she's a vet and should watch her words before she speaks them. I have never been in a situation like that where there is so much opposition.
