Dear Bob, We do remember this visit clearly. A gentleman, not a woman, walked in our office claiming to be a veterinarian and wanted us to euthanize a squirrel right away because his office was too far away. Immediately, we recognized something was not right. However, we did offer this man an office call and we did let him know the fee ahead of time for that office call with requested euthanasia, should that be decided upon after the office call. We routinely give estimates for all services requested: we believe it is a forthright practice and our owners have been pleased with this practice. Had this gentleman wanted the office call, we were happy to accommodate him right away even though we had several procedures that afternoon and this was a walk in appointment during the onset of that time. Why is the office call so important? Every veterinarian is acutely aware that euthanasia of any animal, wild or domestic is a responsibility of great magnitude. Each veterinarian is also aware of the responsibility to heal, to relieve suffering, and to protect public health. Public health is often the most difficult of all jobs, because many people believe that handling wild animals, especially ill or injured ones, is an act of kindness. What many do not realize is the serious risk of this practice. Veterinarians are perhaps the most privy to this information. This is why veterinarians with post doctoral training in public health or exotics, wild life rescue groups, county regulated animal control, and other venues work together to handle ill or injured wild animals. An ill or injured animal needs an examination to see if the illness or injury has potential for having transferred disease--or received transfer of disease--involving other animals and people. Veterinarians also recognize that if euthanasia is performed, the veterinarian asked to perform it bears the entire responsibility of this action and its consequences. Moreover, a veterinarian understands that the handling of a wild animal for euthanasia and care of remains are much more convoluted than the euthanasia experience that you have had with a family pet. This is why veterinarians routinely do not pick up wild animals, bring them to another veterinarians office, potentially expose themselves and an office to health risks, and expect immediate euthanasia. Thus, for such a request as euthanasia on a wild animal, an examination and history is needed. This is where the office call is critical. What if this animal had been able to heal? Would a veterinarian want to euthanize it? What if after its examination, the veterinarian suspected that you might be in danger of being exposed to a life threatening disease? That office call could save your life. Bob, we celebrate it when people show kindness to animals. This is one of the many reasons veterinarians seek out this profession. If you, or this gentleman, wish to continue to seek out aid of animals in the wild, we strongly encourage you to seek out training through a wildlife rescue center, an animal control officer program, or government sponsored program. Since you have had pets yourself, perhaps your current small animal veterinarian would be a resource for you. An office call would allow you to discuss your interests and how they can be safely pursued. It is a worthy effort, but must be done with great caution. Please be safe as you move forward. We wish you much success in your future. Sincerely, The Haddon Veterinary Clinic Staff

This place is awful. Made us spend over a grand on testing for a diabetic cat with no results or any treatment to make her better. After months of her not getting better, we decided to take her somewhere where people knew what they were doing. Our cat is already doing better after one visit to the new clinic! They are also a pain to deal with and not helpful with getting scripts or other medical needs online. If you care about your pet I wouldnt recommend taking them to this place.

I would recommend Haddon Veterinary Clinic to all pet owners in the area. The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They are always willing to take extra time to answer questions and assist in any way with concerns about your pets. Dr. Butler is a wonderful person, caring and has a special connection with all of her clients. Great place for your pets. Highly professional office staff.

We have been taking our precious Bugg, Lucy to this clinic for just about 4 years now. We wouldnt patronize any other clinic! Dr. Butler is a wonderful and compassionate doctor and Jonathan & the other staff members are smart and helpful in every capacity! With every visit we are assured that our furbaby is in the right place and getting the best care possible. We wouldnt go to any other clinic!!

Disregarded specific instructions i provided them from breeder re administration of vaccines. Would not (or forgot) to apply topical flea & tick treatment during visit as i was having trouble doing this on my own. But the treatment was sold to me at a 100% mark-up from online prices.. Guessing thats standard vet practice however. They were extremely nice though.

I adopted my Golden Retriever Ajay when he was 8. I started taking him to Haddon Vet and they have always been wonderful with him. He loves everyone there especially Jonathan and Katherine. They always explain what they are doing and what the costs will be. We have been going for the last 2 years.

Dr. Butler and her staff are amazing. My pets love everyone their and know their names. She takes the time to listen and answer your questions and does thorough research on your pet ailments in order to get the best treatment. I recommend her to anyone needing a great vet!

They helped me nurse my very old cat back to health, and when she passed naturally later on this year, the clinic sent a very heartfelt sympathy card signed by the entire staff. They truly care about their little patients.
