Jonesboro Animal Hospital

The elder Dr. Mc, while polite, is very olde school and his knowledge/​methods have not evolved over time. Example: When I answered that I feed holistic, grain-​free kibble – rotating through a variety of protein sources – he asked why I don’t just use one «good» food like Iams! I said I don’t think Iams is a «good» food and wouldn’t feed my pets any brand with by-​products. As much time was spent pushing food, vaccines and other Rx as was actually spent on my dog. I think many clinics overcharge for what you get and this was no exception. I was not consulted about tests or prescription; it was wham-​bam pay us, ma’am. Location, parking and facilities are good and support staff were friendly enough. Based on this experience overall, however, I have no need to return. I want a vet that includes me in the decisions, is forward-​thinking about wellness, and balances treatment vs. business fairly.

I was very disappointed with how my pet was treated. I think because my dog was very old and sick that she was treated with discrimination. The oldest doctor (it’s a father and son practice) called his son in just to show him how bad my dog looked like she was some kind of freak. He was not at all concerned with treating and making her better. I have not been back and I will never return.

My puppy has been coughing lately and I was worried so I’ve decided to take him to the vet. Previously I’ve went to the VCA’s Pet are People Too as suggested by the Atlanta Humane society, and well they suck and overprice everything. I’ve decided to try a new place near my house. Turn out, these people are awesome. For one thing, the checkup was FREE for me since I’ve adopted my pup from the Atlanta Humane Society (45 $ by VCA PAPT). They perform a stool check for my pup again for FREE (50 $ by VCA PAPT). Heart worm pill for 12 $ (was free by VCA PAPT) and the Doc recommended house training techniques and tips on how to stop my pup from nibbling on people. He was very helpful and advised me to get a new collar for my pup since the one i have isn’t good.
Overall, the service was great, the place was clean, and it’s right around the neighborhood. Definitely coming back again.
VCA PAPT bill came out to be — 108 $ with a rabies shot
JAH bill came out to be — 18 $ with a heartworm pill and a new collar.
