Pet Owners BEWARE of CITY VET!!!

Listed below is an email sent to City Vet today:

Dear City Vet owners:

I just spent an alarming $500.00 on my dog, Buffy, for a superficial
injury (sore muscle) to her right paw. Not only was I talked into
unnessesary x-rays, but was given the drug Previcox to help cure/
alleviate Buffy's pulled muscle. Later that evening, I preceded to
give Buffy one pill of the Previcox with her normal treats and food.
The next day she suffered massive amounts of diarrhea and nausea.
So, later that day I took her into the city vet where she was put
into "hospitalization." I was told that the Previcox did not cause
the nausea and diarrhea, that it was the sedation for the x rays.
Whatever! After I took Buffy home the following day, I decided to do
some research of my own. I found several cases of Previcox causing
nausea and diarrhea symptoms and even death of dogs and cats who had
been prescribed the drug. FYI: listed below are two articles for
pet owners describing the death of their dogs by Previcox:

So, before you all at City Vet decide to prescribe this drug to
animals, maybe you should all be aware of the potential side effects
of Previcox, and fully disclose them to pet owners! Shame on you,
City Vet!

What's more, I have to say, that my overall experience at City Vet at
both locations (Oak Lawn and Uptown) have been extremely stressful
and expensive. Most of the vets I have dealt with have been
condescending toward me, and seem both very young and inexperienced.
The waiting area at both locations is equally chaotic and confusing,
with the staff being unable or unwilling to effectively communicate
with individual clients. The "doggie day care" is an absolute
nightmare, as I have had my other dog, Rufus, come home with scratch
and bite marks from other dogs.

Needless to say, I will NEVER step foot into ANY City VET location
EVER again! I will be leaving negative feedback on several websites
and search engines which ask for a review of your establishment.

Sincerely,

Disgruntled pet owner

P.S. Voted best vet in Dallas by D Magazine? How much did the
owners have to pay for that BLATANT lie to be printed?
