We recently purchased new furniture and no matter how many deterrents we tried, including claw caps, our 6 year old male cat, Frankie, would not stop scratching at it. I’m against declawing cats, but it was either that, or being sent to live outside, which isn’t good, either. We knew we definitely wanted a laser declaw, as they’re not as hard on cats and recovery time is shorter. Fortunately, Advanced Animal Care has the lasers to perform this surgery. A few days beforehand, we brought in our cat for a pre-surgery evaluation to ensure he was healthy enough for the procedure, and of course he was. The vet took her time, explained the procedure, pain med options and answered questions. She was never in a hurry and our cat rubbed and purred all over her while she spoke to us. She explained they would keep Frankie overnight to be sure he wasn’t in pain and had no complications. The day of surgery and the day after, we received text message updates and were encouraged to call or text anytime we wanted updates. The day I picked him up, they gave me special litter to use, a cone, pain meds, a special device to make it easier to administer oral pain meds, and written instructions for after-care. Instructions were reviewed with me and all questions answered. I can’t say enough good things about this clinic. Frankie has been home or 48 hours now and is doing great. He’s eating, drinking, wanting cuddles and walking just fine. I would not hesitate to take any of our other animals here, especially since they’re open 24/7 for emergencies. They also seem to be up-to-date on veterinary medicine protocols, as the topical med they gave Frankie is a newer one, they have laser equipment and I also read on another review they can do blood transfusions and have snake anti-venom. This is important to know, as you can’t plan ahead for these types of emergencies and don’t want to be fumbling around trying to find someone who can help your pet when they’re critically injured. The clinic is also spotless and every employee we encountered was polite, professional and caring. Pricing was competitive and much less than we had anticipated. Thank you for everything you do! You are very much appreciated!
