I
have
been
a
client
at
Lansdowne
Animal
Hospital
since
November
of
2020
and
have
continually
been
disappointed
in
the
services.
The
staff
clearly
do
not
communicate
with
one
another,
do
not
care
for
peoples'
pets,
and
consistently
make
you
feel
like
a
complete
inconvenience
(especially
at
the
front
desk).
January
2021:
Prior
to
being
spayed,
my
puppy
had
no
care
in
the
world
having
her
nails
cut
–
she
would
lay
on
her
back
and
fall
asleep
while
I
was
cutting
them.
After
being
spayed,
she
hated
having
her
nails
cut
and
to
this
day,
puts
up
the
biggest
fight
when
I
try
to
do
her
nails.
I
have
resorted
to
getting
them
done
professionally
(Kay
The
Dog
Whisperer
–
10/10).
Since
I
was
not
allowed
in
the
clinic
due
to
their
covid
measures,
I
can
only
wonder
if
something
prior
to/during/after
the
procedure
happened,
resulting
in
this
intolerance
to
nail
cutting.
August
2021:
After
a
vaccination
appointment,
my
dog
was
returned
to
me
with
a
bleeding
dew
claw,
broken
at
the
quick
and
jammed
at
a
90
degree
angle.
I
called
Lansdowne
Animal
Hospital
regarding
the
issue
and
their
suggestion
was
to
pay
$27.29
to
have
them
cut
the
nail
(an
additional
fee
upon
hundreds
I
had
already
spent
over
the
prior
two
weeks
for
their
services).
After
several
back-and-forth
emails
through
which
the
vet
tech
(Eliza)
and
practice
manager
(Khala)
attempted
to
evade
their
employees
of
responsibility
by
shifting
blame
and
minimizing
the
issue,
I
was
offered
to
return
to
the
clinic
to
have
the
nail
removed
without
cost.
At
this
point,
it
had
already
been
FOUR
days
since
the
initial
damage.
I
went
in
and
was
treated
with
what
felt
like
performative
kindness
by
the
staff.
Ever
since
this
incident,
I
have
felt
shaded
by
the
staff
anytime
I
correspond
over
email
or
go
in.
August
2022:
I
had
exchanged
several
emails
with
the
staff
at
Lansdowne
Animal
Hospital
earlier
in
the
year
requesting
specific
bloodwork
for
my
dog.
It
took
lots
of
back
and
forth
for
them
to
even
understand
what
bloodwork
I
was
requesting
and
to
provide
me
with
a
quote.
I
booked
an
annual
check-up
appointment
for
August
19,
2022
and
had
requested
that
the
bloodwork
be
added
to
the
appointment.
Melanie
at
the
front
desk
emailed
me
confirming
that
the
bloodwork
had
been
added
to
the
appointment.
During
the
appointment,
the
veterinarian
suggested
changes
to
the
bloodwork,
saying
that
some
of
what
was
requested
was
not
necessary.
I
agreed
to
these
changes,
which
just
involved
not
doing
certain
of
the
tests,
and
was
given
a
new
quote.
Shortly
after
taking
my
dog
to
get
the
bloodwork,
they
came
back
saying
that
they
did
not
actually
have
the
right
tubes
for
the
bloodwork
they
had
scheduled
me
in
for
and
informed
me
that
I
would
need
to
come
back
if
I
wanted
it
done.
I
was
then
charged
an
amount
inconsistent
with
all
previous
quotes.
Further,
they
told
me
that
the
next
appointment
–
to
do
the
bloodwork
that
they
were
supposed
to
do
that
day
–
would
be
an
additional
cost,
higher
than
all
previous
quotes.
When
I
questioned
the
receptionist
and
vet
tech,
they
were
stumbling
over
their
words
and
were
not
able
to
provide
me
with
a
definite
answer
regarding
the
significant
cost
increase
–
they
just
kept
pointing
at
the
terminal,
motioning
me
to
pay.
Time
and
again,
there
have
been
instances
of
negligence,
lack
of
due
diligence,
and
shifting
of
the
blame
onto
the
client.
These
are
just
a
few
examples
of
such
instances.
How,
within
two
years,
can
so
much
go
wrong
at
a
place
you
are
supposed
to
trust
with
the
health
and
safety
of
your
pet?
I
am
switching
vets
and
do
not
recommend
Lansdowne
Animal
Hospital.
