We are not really vet-people because they tend to be very, very costly and we are on a very fixed income. We LOVE our animals and do the absolute best we can for them and have been very fortunate that none of them have ever really had any problems. Until our 10-year old Coonhound Mix hurt himself and I was very concerned about him. When I got home from work, around 5:30 pm, I called another vets office to try and get him in that evening, and was told that they closed at 6:00 and the vet wasnt taking any new patients. They suggested that I take him to Purdue Vetrinarian Emergency Room. I was quite worried about the cost, since it is an emergency room, but I more concerned about my dogs pain. The vetrinarian was very understanding, and very helpful. She did not try to push costly, unnecessary tests on us, she simply treated the problem we were there for. She informed me that there were other, more detailed examinations she could perform (x-rays, blood tests, ect.) but that would not change her recommendation. In the end we got the assistance and care we needed all for about $120.00. I am so grateful that there is somewhere I now know that I can take my pets and not feel pressured to spend a ton of money for good quality care.

This place has no compassion! We found a kitten on the road in need, and before they could care for her the wanted payment or for us to release her. It was all about money with them just to stabilize her was between 400-700and that was on top of the 110$ diagnostics exam. And that didnt even include her medicine, hospital stay, and anything else. We wanted the kitten in our forever home, but literally just found her and didnt have 3000$ for her vet bills. They just dont care about doing the right thing, they only care about money. This is just our experience with them. Im sure some have had awesome ones with them. They made us feel guilty that we couldnt keep and pay for her hospital visit. Our son was devastated! We called this morning to see if she had made it, but they wouldnt even tell us that because we gave her to the shelter. Its not like Im asking for personal information just if the kitten made it or if our effort to save her was to late. I will never come here again. Nor will I send anyone!

I took my dog in late at night for an eye issue. The student that did Dukes initial check was very friendly and professional. He and the doctor came in to let me know what was wrong with Duke and to let me know they wanted to check out his eye a little closer. One of the tests would cost an additional $30 and they checked with me before performing it. The next morning I received a follow up call to see how Duke was doing and to see if I had any questions. When I went in I was worried because I had heard they were pricey. My total bill including the eye drops was cheaper than Dukes last appointment at a local vet when he had an ear infection. I love my primary vet, but I wont hesitate to use Purdue again for after hours or weekend emergencies! On a side note googling dog ailments is about as effective as WebMD - Duke only had conjunctivitis, but the internet convinced me hed be blind by morning.

Im not sure what to expect, we havent been there yet but weve got an appt on the 18th of this month, our lab mix was just diagnosed with cancer and they are willing to help him but they wanted to know about payment immediately? Weve been told that the 1st appt will be $1800 to $2000 and were on an extremely tight fixed income but Im not going to just let my dog die! Im hopeful that once were there things will be a little more compassionate? We shall see?

Kozmo, boston terrier lost an eye in a fight with another dog,both ok now. You want a good vet go here to purdue sure it cost more but care and treatment is outstanding. You love your pet like family then money should not be a problem. Kozmo 13 years old and still going strong would highly recommend Purdue as kozmo would say arf arf.

I sadly had to have our dog put down after hours on a Sunday. The staff there were very sweet and understanding treating my dog like a friend. The price was more than fair. I would have no problem using them again if I needed to. They made a heartbreaking time as easy as they could and they all deserve the best for it.

Just completed a 10-week saga of diagnosis, surgery, follow-up, surgery, treatment, etc. Entire staff, including students rotating off the case, was professional and caring, calling and emailing with news or for updates. Never had so many people pulling for one dog! Super staff; highly recommended.

Very, Very good, and helpful.. We have takin our dog there for emergency c-section and they were very attentive and helpful. The prices are great. Just tell the your amount that you can spend and they will do what they can to treat your pet to the fullest with what you can afford

I was pleased with the level of care, the only complaint I have is that they did not treat my dogs SEVERE pain for the whole hour and a half we were there. They waited and just gave us paid meds to take home. Other than that they did a great job.

All they care about is cash, not one thing about caring for animals. For a teaching facility just to walk in the door is 500. Why? Expect any visit for any reason to be thousands. No cash your pet will die and they dont care.

Great docs. Competent staff. ECG, echocardiogram for under $400 seems like a good value to me. Glad we have a resource with this expertise for Rover.

Worst billing dept on earth.
