Scottsville Veterinary Adoptions

This place is terrible. I got my cat from here three years ago. I also volunteer here all the time.
My cat got sick and they charged me 200 for an exam and told me it was a UTI. Two weeks later, there is no improvement with the medicine.
I take him back and they tell me that they have to do about 500 dollars worth of tests. I am a poor college student but I figured a few things out and said ok. When I go to pick up my cat they charge me 800 dollars! This is ridiculous. you can not estimate 500 and then when the time comes make me pay 800. they also wouldnt let me do financing on the bill.
Now I have no money in my bank account to eat this month. They tell me they will call with the test results in two to three days.
Seven days later i still havent heard anything so i call them… they tell me they didnt find anything wrong.
ok my cat is peeing blood and is crying non stop. something is wrong and i have now put 1000 dollars into finding out why. The doctor says he wants to schedule a time to talk to me. they say they will call to schedule in 1 – 2 days. It has now been a week and i havent heard a thing…
these people suck. they just want to steal all your money. never again will i adopt from them, bring my pet there, volunteer, or donate anything.

While Scottsville provides a wonderful adoption service, the hospital itself demonstrates horrible business ethics. I had brought my dog in for heart worm treatment and was provided a quote of $ 800 for the work done. Two days later I picked my dog up and I was asked to pay $ 1350 for the exact procedure I had been quoted for earlier — there were no emergency procedures or any reasons why the bill was $ 500 higher than the quote. After roughly two weeks of complaining I managed to get the rate reduced by $ 200, but obviously that is still $ 350 above the quote that I was provided. I simply cannot recommend that anyone choose the Scottsville Veterinary Hospital, especially when there are so many other choices of veterinary clinics available.

I adopted a kitten here a year ago. The staff is hit or miss. Some of them seem to really, really love and care about the animals and others seem very apathetic. The vet that did my cat’s spaying wasn’t too enthusiastic and I wasn’t very comfortable with him performing the procedure except that it was complementary with the adoption. I normally go to East River Vet near Riverton Knolls, but this was my only option. The facilities are clean enough and there are a variety of vet/​adoption services here. I’m not sure if they are a no-​kill shelter, but their animals seemed to be in good health and relatively happy.

Our regular vet. They have helped us with our adopted cats and their UTI problems.
