  I've been taking my dogs here for MANY years now and had some prior problems but once we started seeing Dr. Kudla, it was good. Unfortunately for us, she is on Mat leave and of course this is when my dog needs her. So we booked an exam with another vet, as my 15 year old blue heeler can't walk on his front leg and his back two already have arthritis. When we got there we got in fast and the vet was nice, my dog had huge swelling in his front right breast and his front leg and she mentioned a few theories and prescribed Gabapentin and Tramadol, pain meds (strong ones). No anti-flamitories or antibiotics. I told her that I don't like using Metacam as I heard how it can affect the kidney's. she said try those and come back in a week or so, this was $91.00. So not even a couple of days I called back as he was not getting better and I didn't feel comfortable with the drugs or the diagnosis. So I couldn't get in again for 4 days or so and I asked for a different vet for a second opinion. This time I waited, and this vet was nice enough...after 2 hours, 2 X-rays, blood work and another examination. she concluded that he needed anti inflammatories and antibiotics. she was concerned about the swelling as well. she recommended Metacam and Tramadol for the pain and that Metacam was an anti inflammatory used for older dogs with arthritis. so I have now a $470 bill and when I spoke to the manager about waiving my first visit, as obviously the diagnosis wasn't correct, she said; “no it was, you were told to come back and you did. You were also told to take the Metacam as an anti inflammatory with the pain meds”....I said NO, “I specifically said I wouldn't use Metacam.” So now I'm out $561 and I STILL have a dog that can't walk and have to go back again. I would not recommend this vet clinic as they can't seem to do their jobs, which is to find the problem and not kill my dog by giving numerous, CONFLICTING drugs, that are hard on his perfectly good kidneys. Drugs are not the cure, your jobs are to figure out the problem and fix it without costing me my dogs life of my life savings for REPEAT visits.
