Well kudos to the low cost testing. After my newly acquired dog came up positive for heartworms they said I needed to bring him in. I asked whoever at the front desk answered the phones if there was going to be an additional charge because the way it was presented to me seemed like it was all a part of the testing fee. They said they didn't think there was another charge. Well, that's quite the answer considering you are the front line to the business. There was a charge for the visit. The fact the person answering the.phone gave me a bs answer was irritating. Not the few. What I also found bullshitty was that if your dog tests positive for heartworms they need to see him or her before full diagnosis. Either way, there really is no difference in their recommendation. Heartworm treatment now or at least give them the.monthly meds. So I need to pay a visit fee for this? Now some vets prescribe.a med that needs to be administered before monthly heartworm treatment resumes to avoid complications. This one didn't. It was referred to as fluff. So who the hell is right?
