Snow-Ridge Veterinary Hospital

I have taken my dog there for a number of years, the past couple times felt as though he rushes through the exam to get to the next patient. This past visit, I told him I wanted a packet of Frontline applied, expecting him to pull out exactly that, instead he picks up a bottle and squirts something onto him, no measurement or anything. How can a qualified vet just apply a medication without any regards to the weight of the animal? The Iverhart Plus I purchased for heartgard is almost out of date. He doesn’t give you a print out of charges, instead he tallies up the bill, gave me a bill of $ 285.00 and I asked for a breakdown, which when re-​added came to $ 235.00. I might add the exam room does not seem very clean either.

This vet is a scam!!! Pls pls pls do not take any of your loved ones here to treat. My mother’s dog passed a couple weeks after taking the meds. I’m truly sorry for not being there for her. After 3 schnauzers with our first having so many health problems including liver, arthritis, as well as being diabetic and having only one eye left from elevated eye pressure, she strongly lived till she was 15yrs. Because of her, I can claim knowledge on many issues of this breed and what they are prone to. Our first schnauzer was also a patient to all the top specialist in NYC.
My mother brought her 8 year old schnauzer here and Vago did not even diagnose her but gave rimadyl right away. Anyone with a elderly dog will always be tempted to put the pet on it because you can see immediate results, but this med places extreme stress on livers. Second time in was when blood work was done, after mother requested. Report came back with APL extremely high, triglycerides extremely high, protein high, all these numbers indicated liver problems, yet this Vago gave her meds to treat thyroids? After a a week of this meds plus rimadyl, the poor pup got pushed over. My mother came home to a cold body after work.

ear crop butcher!!! do not take your animal here!
my 11 week doberman pinscher almost lost his ears because of dr. vago. just 2 days after bringing him home the scabs and pus was pouring out of his wounds! i called to ask if this was normal and the dr told me it was. i decided to take him elsewhere to get checked. the new dr told me in his 30+ years of ear cropping he has never seen anything like this. he asked me if i took my dog to a real veternarian. he said the ears looked like they had been done on someone’s kitchen table! my pup had to be sedated to clean the scabs and pus. dr vago did not even send him home with any antibiotics or pain medication. currently fighting to save my pups ears! this place should be shut down!!!
