Tillou Veterinary Hospital

i recently took my Great Pyrenees Harry to the clinic and they were very efficient checking us in and giving Harry his shot and a quick check up. The younger Dr. Tillou took care of us and was through and polite but kind of distant but it could have been a bad day. We all have them

We were just here a couple weeks ago and they have redone the facility… looks great! Just confused why there is such a huge waiting room and only one bench along the wall LOL perhaps they will fill in the space with chairs? Either way, lookin’ good!

I started taking all my animals to Dr. Tillou over 35 years ago. I could always count on Dr. Tillou’s practice. Of course way back then it was the original Dr. Tillou. Now it is Dr. Guy Tillou his son, and his grand son taking care of the practice.
I had occasion a few years back to have a feral cat I had cared for for 11 years put down. A sad moment, but the staff at Dr. Tillou’s was efficient, yet empathetic.
I recently acquired a shelter cat, and again went to see Dr. Guy Tillou for it’s check up. Wow, the place has been remodeled and updated. Quite nice. As my experience has only been with Dr. Guy Tillou in the most recent years, I can not speak to the complaints about his son’s approach to animals, people, or veterinary medicine.
This last visit with Dr. Guy Tillou meet all my old expectations.

The prices here are cheaper than some vets however keep in mind, you get what you pay for. It’s a father and son operation. The father is fine. Knowledgable and easy to deal with. The son has an extreme condescending attitude that is prevalent in every office visit. I also believe he acts this way because he doesn’t possess the knowledge that he purports.
I have a few speciality breed cats as pets. Among them are a Munchkin and a Manx. Body shapes are completely different and the Manx is missing a tail. They are a year apart in age but both small in stature. I once took them in together for shots and Brett (son vet) asked if they were litter mates??? I recently took my Munchkin back because he had an ingrown claw. Brett listed him as a domestic shorthair. The breed mix up doesn’t offend me however as a vet I believe you should be aware of the cat (s) you are working with. The reason for my concern is that a specialty breed — to my understanding working with info from a friend who was a vet for years however recently passed away — cannot be transfused by a common cat should blood be needed. I don’t know if this is the case but I believe that a vet, as a doctor, should read previous medical records to ascertain basic info.
I called 2 days ago to set up an appointment for my Corgi who is shaking her head and scratching at her ears. Ear infection is what I suspect. Receptionist asked if I attempted to check and clean her ears because they request that you do this before setting up an appointment. While I do clean my cat ears I have never had any reason to check the dogs and I wouldn’t know what I am looking at or what to do that is safe and beneficial for the dog. I just called another vet… and maybe you should too.
