"VCA Old River Animal hospital and this one are one in the same?" We used to go to another veterinarian on Grant Line but changed because they didnt have boarding services.  This veterinary hospital has cared for our dogs ever since and also board them when we are away on our frequent excursions.   This veterinarians expenditures are also extraordinary high (In my opinion) but what can you do?  Its just going to have to come down to, "how much you love your animal and what you can afford!"  Not that many places to go here in town and they can pretty much name their prices! With that being said, Ive never had a bad experience here, other than on one occasion which really wasnt a bad experience other than to say they were "uncompassionate."  Telling this story brings back a lot of emotions but here goes... I brought our old dog ("Sandy" our yellow lab) down because she was old and wasnt able to walk or get around.  When she no longer had control of her bowels "we had to make that very difficult decision to put her down and of course that was left up to me."   I dreaded the "final" ride down to the vet with our dog thats been in our family for what seems like an eternity and now it came to this.  I also couldnt bring myself to look into her eyes for that final trip! I had to carry her in and set her down while I spoke with the receptionist.  After telling her what I was there for, she had me wait awhile then called my name.  "She wanted me to be with my dog while they put her to sleep..."  I couldnt bring myself to watch our dog go and got emotional.   What irritated me was without skipping a beat; they wanted payment for their services, which I can appreciate, but at this moment.....?  "Give me a break!"   I was losing my dog and they wanted payment.  Yaaa, OK.   Since I was a regular, I just told them to bill me and left!  I was pretty "peeved off" at their inconsiderateness but got over it.  The staff here is courteous and the doctors are knowledgeable and they continue to give our dogs the best care possible.   We brought our black lab in recently because of leg problems and the bill for her care was high but essential.   We continue to put our faith in this animal hospital because they have looked after our animals in "their best interest."
