Unfortunately
we
had
a
very
frustrating
experience
with
VCA
Rock
Creek
staff
this
weekend.
We've
been
customers
for
several
years
and
have
enjoyed
Dr.
Fujiura
as
our
pets
veterinarian.
We
also
really
like
Jen
the
groomer.
We
brought
our
Cairn
Terrier
in
for
grooming
on
Friday,
8/19.
That
evening
our
Cairn
Terrier
started
itching.
I
found
a
couple
of
fleas
on
him
and
was
able
to
kill
them.
Over
the
week
of
8/22
I
attempted
to
eradicate
the
flees
but
was
not
successful.
He
was
miserable
with
itching
and
had
visible
signs
of
being
bit
under
his
tail
and
back
legs
area.
He
has
never
had
fleas
before
and
Jen
(the
groomer)
would
have
communicated
to
us
if
she
saw
any
signs
of
fleas
while
grooming.
I
contacted
VCA
and
spoke
to
Hailey
on
Sunday,
8/28.
I
explained
the
circumstances
to
Hailey
and
asked
what
the
best
treatment
would
be.
She
offered
an
oral
treatment
of
(6)
pills
for
$117.
I
asked
under
the
circumstances
if
we
could
get
a
discount
or
the
medication
at
cost
since
the
fleas
seemed
to
have
been
picked
up
at
the
VCA
Hospital.
She
asked
Dr.
Ruse
if
they
could
assist
with
any
type
of
discount
and
she
said
no.
Hailey
then
began
to
tell
me
that
our
dog
had
been
groomed
a
few
days
ago
and
could
have
picked
up
fleas
anywhere.
I
explained,
again,
that
the
evening
we
brought
him
home
he
had
contracted
the
fleas.
He
was
not
outside
or
at
any
other
location
since
he
is
an
inside
dog.
As
I
was
explaining
this
again,
she
started
talking
over
me.
I
asked
her
to
please
not
talk
over
me
while
I
was
trying
to
explain
the
situation.
She
said
if
I
was
going
to
be
rude
she
would
hang
up.
I
terminated
the
call
telling
her
I
would
contact
the
Hospital
Manager.
We
have
since
taken
our
dog
elsewhere
and
were
treated
as
a
valued
customer
and
at
a
lower
cost.
It
was
very
disappointing
that
this
issue
was
handled
like
it
was
by
VCA
staff
and
we
will
no
longer
be
a
customer.
As
a
side
note,
and
could
have
possibly
contributed
to
our
situation,
the
waiting
room
floor
was
very
dirty
with
dog
hair
and
dirt
which
we
had
never
experienced
before.
We
were
the
only
customers
in
during
this
period
of
time
and
there
were
(3)
employees
behind
the
counter.
Coaching
staff
seems
to
be
definitely
in
order
to
maintain
a
clean
environment
for
the
animals
and
possibly
control
future
situations
with
fleas.
I
would
also
recommend
some
degree
of
loyalty
to
your
customers.
