He killed my dog. Dr. Kubisz killed my best friend. A perfectly healthy dog does NOT drop dead from a heart attack. My 10 year old, 15 lb. Chorkie (Chihuahua Yorkie mix) went in for a tooth extraction. She was anesthetized and never woke up even though the vet and his assistant tried to lie and sell me a story like a bad used car salesman. I was an EMT and I know death and what to look for. He tried to tell me that the extraction went perfectly and that she woke up easily out of the anesthesia and was taken outside to potty twice -- LIE. She wasnt allowed to eat or drink since the previous night after noon in preparation for this procedure. She had no urine in her body, so tell me how she peed outside twice with no urine. He tried to tell me that she was fine and then was making some noise back in the kennel and when they immediately went to check on her, she had fallen over with a heart attack. He said they administered epinephrine and adrenosine to get her heart started again and to remove fluid from her lungs. She had been only gone for a few minutes by the time they called my husband to break the news. We drove at break-neck speed and got to the clinic in 15 minutes (which would make it only 25 minutes after her death) -- LIES. I believe that after the extraction, she was basically chucked into the kennel and left there to wake up on her own and aspirated stomach acid because she hadnt eaten or had any water for almost 24 hours. The IV site was dark, like settled blood; the gum where her tooth had been removed was grey; her tongue was purple; her head was wet; there was a clear, pink puddle of liquid beneath her open mouth; her body was cold. HER CIRCULATION NEVER RESUMED AFTER ANESTHESIA AND THEY JUST LEFT HER ALONE TO CHOKE AND DIE. It doesnt take Hercule Poirot to figure out that she never woke up. They left her with her mouth open, tongue out, eyes open and glassy. He wouldnt even say her name -- he kept saying, "this dog" and "that dog" and his assistant was detached and aloof. He kept rambling the same story over and over while my husband and I were trying to grieve. He kept saying that there was nothing that could be done, that the procedure went perfectly, that he does the same thing for his dog, that she would have had the heart attack at home. His assistant was blasé and said that she just put her dog down as a pathetic attempt at relating to our situation. He killed my constant companion, my best friend, my beloved and he didnt even take responsibility for his gross negligence. To top it off, they wouldnt even let us see her records to see what could have gone wrong -- medication dosages, anything to help us cope and understand. My surviving dog will NEVER return to that death house and I am going to take this review to as many social media sources as I can and tell everyone that will hear me about how this monster killed my dog.

This comment is for Ms.Harris. I apologize if you feel that your pets were mistreated in any way well at our shot clinic. We strive to give the best possible care to our patients/clients; whether it is at our Lafayette clinic or the Rural King shot clinic. Part of that care involves safety, both to the people around the animal as well as to the animal itself. Animal Handling/Safety is not only my job it is also my number-one concern when it comes to you and your beloved pet. I have been working with animals all my life (all 26 years of it) I have handled everything from a Gerbil to a Mountain Lion. When I handle an animal, there are several elements I have to keep in mind; such as to the size of that animal, type of animal, age of the animal, the condition of that animal, temperament of that animal, the rapport I have with that animal, environment in which the animal is being handled in, and the laws associated with the handling of said animal. I had all this in mind when I handle your pets. The shot clinic, unlike at our regular clinic, tends to be a little more “free range” lending its self to an environment that can cause the animal to act in an unpredictable manner. Often times most of the animals that come to our shot clinic have never been to us regularly nor have they been to any other vet in their lives, and some have never even been around other people or animals. This can cause another wise normally docile animal (no matter age or size) to become aggressive. In the past, I have let people hold their own animals for shots at the clinic thinking that it would be better. Only to find out that A) They cannot hold/manage their own animal or B) Have their own animal/beloved pet turn and bit them. Under the law, when you bring your pet to an Animal Hospital or a satellite shot clinic the responsibility of that animal’s safety and well-being, and the peoples safety and well-being surrounding that animal falls to the clinic and staff in command of that facility. If I restrained your animal, it was because I felt it was in an aggressive state, and it was my duty to do so, and I always try to do that as safely and humanely as possible. As to us not wanting to be there, all I have to say is that we all volunteer for the shot clinic, we are not paid for our time there. The money goes back to the cost of the shots and the over head of the main clinic; we essentially break even. If we didnt want to do it, we wouldnt do it.

My name is James Kubisz and I have been an employee of the All Pets since the facility opened in 1995. We strive to provide the best quality of care for your pet for the most reasonable price that you, and we can afford to give you. We are a fully functional hospital that provides not only general care for your pet such as vaccinations and routine examinations, but we also provide surgical, advanced diagnostic and long-term treatment care for your pet. The veterinarian (who is also my father) has over 45 years of experience and is a Purdue graduate. Dr. Kubisz has experience ranging from wildlife veterinary medicine to serving his country during the Vietnam War in the capacity of a veterinarian treating the war dogs at the 764th Med detachment located at Cam Ranh Bay from 1968-1970. We work closely with several no-kill shelters and pet rescue facilities in the local area; we also treat wildlife free of cost ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... To the person who posted the comment about their cat escaping from our facility all I have to say is that this is a fictitious and false claim. The cat escaping happened in our parking lot not within our facility. The cat was transported to us from a no-kill shelter to be neutered at our facility. When the van containing the cats to be spayed and neutered was open, the cat in question escaped due to a faulty carrier provided by the owner. This service of spaying and neutering cats at a low cost is not provided by us; it is provided by this no-kill shelter; we only do the surgery for them. Thus, we did not take any money directly from this owner. In fact, we try to assist this owner in locating her beloved pet (sadly, to no avail) we are sorry that this happened, but we were not directly involved with this incident and in all 17 years we have been open we have never had animal escape or even come close to escaping our facility. To this owner, I’m sorry for the loss of your pet but please do not post fictitious claims.
