It all started on April 29th when my dog Suzy started acting different. Being new to the area I brought her to the Woodstock Veterinary clinic. They looked her over, took her temperature checked her pulse and said shes fine. We can find nothing wrong with her. I thanked them and paid my bill and left. However she was still acting strange, different and now drinking tons of water emptying her bowl at every time she drank. So I brought her back on May 12th saying something is definitely wrong with my dog. They took blood samples and fecal and urine samples and called me the next day to say everything is fine, however we found a few white cells in her urine and will give you antibiotics to help clear that up. I said shes drinking tons of water theres something wrong. They said we cant find anything wrong with her so I took her home and came back the next day for the antibiotics. On May 19th when I came home at lunch from work my dog had been very Ill vomiting all over the house and unable to walk without great difficulty. I brought her back to the vet at the behest of the office manager because she said they had a specialist there, an internal medicine Veterinarian who they wanted to look at Suzy. I must interject now that I had left a message on their answering machine when I came home and saw my dog so ill that I was Furious that they couldnt find anything wrong with my dog and shes obviously dying. I called another vet in Woodstock that asked if I would get the medical records and I said yes I would call. Its when I called to get the medical records there they put the office manager on the phone and she told me about the Internal Medicine specialist that was there. I met the doctor we managed to get the dog up on the examining table she weighed 74 and a half pounds and he was very concerned. I would like to do an ultrasound. I said yes anything. During the ultrasound examination he said her heart is completely encased in fluid and that dark spot is a tumor on her right ventricle, she cant get enough blood and is suffering greatly. The first two visits they tell me everything is fine even though Im telling them something is wrong Ive had this dog 10 years and shes acting very strange. Its only on the third visit when shes obviously dying that they notice oh her heart is encased in fluid and she has a tumor on her left ventricle. I told the doctor she needed to be put down right away as she was suffering greatly, however I was saddened they didnt give her a sedative, so she would be sleeping when they administered the euthanasia shot, which I thought was rather heartless as Im already getting billed for three visits how much more could a sedative cost? Their ability to diagnose is severely lacking. If you love your pet as most people do I would suggest you go somewhere else where they have a clue and will listen to a client, when the client comes in and says theres something wrong with my pet,Ive had this pet 10 years and its acting very very differently all of a sudden.

Brought my dog in because hes drinking tons of water to the point that hes vomiting while hes drinking. Hes losing weight, losing hair, and falling down the stairs but theu cant find anything wrong with him. Every time I speak with them about the situation they run the same tests over and over and over again and I get no definitive answers as to what is going on with my poor dog. I go to pick up medication for my dog and apparently they ran another test when I wasnt even in the clinic. Yep, same test as the previous visits, without me going into the clinic. They are wonderful if your dog is healthy and going in for a routine check up but if your dog is old and you think it might be dying take it somewhere else.

My cat and I had a horrible experience at another vet in the area and so I was very nervous and so was my cat to go some place new. Thank goodness we did! Woodstock Veterinary Clinic made us feel right at home and my cat was a lot happier going there too! We will never go to another vet besides Woodstock Veterinary clinic! They are great! My cat and I are happy again!

Great place for integrative medicine! They offer physical therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic alongside practicing great regular medicine. The doctors and staff are compassionate and help you understand what is going on with your pet when theyre sick. One of the best animal hospitals Ive ever been to! Highly recommended!

Took our Bulldog Wrigley in for a surgery. So glad we chose Dr. Stewart very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful during the recovery, even called to check on him. Makes me wish he was a family Dr. Thanks again to the whole staff @Woodstock Veterinary Clinic. Allen, Sarah & Wrigley
