I think the care is terrific but I think it is a little disconcerting to bring two cats in for check ups and flea and tick medicine and pay nearly $800.
Business response:
Thank you so much for allowing Countryside to partner with you in the care of Chloe, Rowena, Archie, Neville and Remy! I agree that the cost of wellness care in our pets has risen over time but I hope you agree that it all contributes for a longer, healthier life span for our pets. I reviewed this years invoice in regards to your feedback and because each kitty received a 3 year Feline distemper vaccine this year, the next 2 years wellness visits for them should be less! Also there is a $35 rebate at ZoetisPetCareRewards.com... read more
Instead of prescribing pharmaceuticals for anxiety, consider that these are very different times. Maybe pets are uneasy because owners cannot accompany them inside. Maybe try essential oils in a diffuser to help pets feel more at ease. Also, when making Khalua’s wellness appointment, the request was made (2 weeks in advance) to not administer all inoculations at once. Khalua was given everything at her wellness visit. This was extremely disconcerting as it totally dishonored our request as the customer. Furthermore, aside fr... read more
99.9% sure you let me take Wyatt home to die. He was in obvious pain leaving. Quick to collect $1,100 and carried him out. Moment he got home he couldn't stand started breathing really hard. Two hours later I got hold him with my wife as stretched out in pain and die in our arms. Never ever again will I take any animal to you guys again. I am going to share with everyone how in humane Wyatt died.
I can only give an average rating as I did not get to FaceTime or meet with the vet...no idea of who she is...and did not get to watch online as she saw my dog. This is all part of Covid, but I would think FaceTime would have been possible? Also, because of my dog's behavior I wanted to discuss CBD oil and was told it could not be discussed because it is "illegal." It might be professionally frowned upon, but it must be legal, because Petsmart sells it. And I wanted to discuss the use of lithium, which is used in a very mild... read more
We moved from Gaithersburg to Howard County about 2 years ago. We tried cat and dog hospital, but I didn't love the care and they were quite expensive compared to what we had experienced. I heard great things about you all and tried you. I loved the care we received the first couple times we were there. However, this past 6 months it feels like every time we come there's a surprise test, a surprise charge, and it's getting extremely expensive. Insufficient information is given when making an appointment and there are too man... read more
Overall I would say my experience was good. I understand that special accommodations are in place because of Covid. However, having my dog checked out while I sit in my car is strange and honestly I am left to trust that a physical was even performed. I literally paid $69 to have a vet call me and tell my that my dog looked great. I did not even receive a receipt of my payment. I feel like I should have received that either physically or email.
Business response:
We are so sorry you did not receive this invoice on the 15th. It is a part of our front staff tasks to email the invoice after every client is cashed out, but we have found that sometimes when we walk away from the computer, another staff member may jump on the computer to use it and x out of the invoice screen instead of emailing the invoice. We appreciate you letting us know and have since improved upon this having noticed it occasionally occurring. With new procedures and protocols due to the pandemic it has certainly be... read more
Overall, once my cat was in the system things were great. I made my appt online and almost didn't bring my cellphone. I was not given any indication about the new procedures until I was out of my car and at your doorway. My phone call to let you know I was at the door was dropped 5 times. (I have never had that problem before therefore, I assume your phone system was the issue.) Your employee saw me and that I was having difficulty and didn't care. (maybe even hostile that I wasn't following directions or maybe too busy to a... read more
Business response:
Hello Mr. DeVale- I am glad that overall your appointment with Catticus went well. I do apologize for the confusion at the beginning of your appointment as so far we seem to be getting wonderful feedback at how we are handling the current pandemic with our smoothness of appointments, but I certainly understand there are always ways to improve. We are constantly working on new ways to make things smoother along with so many veterinary hospitals around the globe. Our phone lines have been functioning fine but with the appointm... read more
I only use this veterinary practice so I don’t know if this is normal but prices are skyrocketing.. I’m older and could use a small discount. I’ve been going here with my pets for a long time!
My bill for two dogs was $1000, I just so wish you would’ve let me know before everything was done because it threw my budget off for the whole month
