The Left Paw

Update 6÷2÷16:
Sarah flagged my review and Unilocal removed my part ²⁄₂ OF MY ORIGINAL REVIEW AND A PREVIOUS UPDATE REVIEW ON FURTHER INTERACTIONS WITH LEFT PAW (WHICH IS SO INCONSISTENT SINCE THEY HAD NO ISSUE WITH IT BEFORE and funny enough that was the review most people voted most useful so now that disappeared… shady) AND POTENTIALLY THIS ONE TOO!
——
Oh my goodness I don’t even know where to begin this updated review. For anyone questioning how this is relevant to Left Paw, it is because this all stems back to the problems my puppy had before we got her. I honestly cannot make up the below — I’m not that great of a vivid story teller.
SECOND SURGERY IN LESS THAN A YEAR!!! LET ME LIST ALL THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE DISCOVERED:
–Coccidia (intestinal parasite)
–Circovirus (rare incurable virus)
–Inflammatory bowel disease
–Red blood cell condition (can easily bleed out more than normal — as proven when she got the first biopsy. They were only able to take one piece out to test rather than the original planned three.)
–Other parasites /​worms that didn’t reflect in the numerous stool tests
–Vitamin malabsorption /​deficiency (B12)
HOW DOES A HOUSE DOG (aka dog who rarely leaves house ever and highly supervised when going on walks) have this many problems in less than the year we have had her?! Surely 100% Left Paw must have had some sort of inkling. Central Vets /​Left Paw /​Sarah /​Charos checked everything my butt. The surgery she had this week was triggered as an underlying result of having messed up intestines /​IBD!!! Which again, multiple vets at the establishment I visit have concluded it must have come from the pet store /​crap breeder.
Thank god emergency surgery was able to be performed in time. Otherwise I am scared to even think what else could have happened. Long term damages are potential side effects but praying they will be limited and few.
I am willing to bet money that the pet store must have known!!! Before and after photos showed her looking absolutely SICKLY. Does Left Paw /​Central Vets not know what healthy dogs are supposed to look like???
Please refer to Sarah’s comment addressing my previous updated review — she said she is willing to refund. She didn’t disclose that on the phone she said refund would be subjected to written disclosure by my current vets saying that the dog was unfit for sale and that their vet of choice (aka that shady lying practice called Central Vets) will have my dog undergo their own personal evaluation because they have rights to (why would I start trusting them now???). But we can’t even say unfit for sale because that term only qualifies for the first two weeks we had her! And during those two weeks we were going to CENTRAL VETS SINCE THE PET STORE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IT AND WERE AFFILIATED TOGETHER. Please refer to my review on Central Vets specifically if you want to know of my experience there — it was a complete joke and now as a result, we wasted the two weeks being patrons of this craphole and can’t say my dog is unfit for sale anymore.
Worst part is insurance is barely covering anything. Did I mention that this surgery /​hospital stay /​xray /​ultrasound /​emergency overnight nurse /​antibiotics and various medications will be costing me nearly THREE GRAND? On top of the other nearly FIVE GRAND I have spent already as a result of so many tests, food trials, medications, surgeries, etc. because of the constant diarrhea, lethargy, vomiting, low appetite, etc. I am certainly not a lawyer, but this has to be some sort of negligence!!! NONE OF THESE ILLNESSES WERE DISCLOSED TO US WHEN WE GOT HER AND THEY HAD EVEN TOLD US AT TIME OF PURCHASE THEY HAVE THEIR VETS FULLY CHECK OUT EACH PUPPY and my puppy was healthy aside from a mere respiratory infection which was basically cured already!!! Puppy has been LITERALLY LIVING OFF DIARRHEA MEDICATIONS SINCE OCTOBER WHEN WE SWITCHED VETS BECAUSE SHE CAN’T GO MORE THAN 36 HOURS WITHOUT IT!!!
I’ve never hated an establishment more than I despise and loathe Left Paw and Central Vets. Bless your hearts (or rather your lack of). Please buyers and visitors BEWARE… STAY AWAY… GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE!!! (Watch the owner flag this and gets taken down)

I just got home from having my 9 year old Shih Tzu groomed at The Left Paw for the first time. She looks beautiful! They did a fantastic job, the price is unbeatable, and the staff is wonderful (especially Rachel!). I will definitely be bringing my Bebe back and recommending this place to others.
It’s also worth noting that the puppies being sold at this location looked very happy, healthy, and well taken care of :)

Two months ago we purchase amazing puppy (Morkie) from the left paw. The puppy was healthy, well nourished and well taken care of. We are so happy that we made decision to purchase our puppy from the left Paw. He makes us all happy, specially my two years old daughter. The owners are very helpful and professional. I will definitely recommending this store to my friends and family.

My brother in law and I both purchased puppies from here a few weeks ago. Both dogs were sick. My dog had to be hospitalized because of being so malnourished.
They said the puppies were from «breeders» but when i researched the name of the so called breeder, it was a puppy mill.
Horrible.

Cute puppies
