| Comment | I had similarly poor experience with them. Our dog has a long-running minor health issue, which requires the same remedy at intermittent intervals.
First, they totally failed to diagnose it. But then every time it flared up, they *insisted* I take the dog in for a check up, costing like £85, to be told that yes, it's the same thing as last time and they'll now prescribe the same medicine (another £20~). I was basically locked into paying them £100+ every 4-8 weeks.
I now go to Vets4Pets, and they finally actually worked out the dog had an infection, which was exacerbating the minor health issue. They gave her antibiotics, and since then, she has been much happier and healthier.
Also, I'm not sure how much to blame them, but when they spayed the dog, she came back *utterly traumatised*. She used to like the vets and now *hates* them. I have to literally carry her into the consulting room and hold her. That could just be fear of being left there since she has separation anxiety, and surgery is traumatic, so again, not sure how much to blame the vets for that.
To be clear, the vets themselves at QCVC *seemed* to be alright, and the reception staff lovely, but it did seem like their practice policies were geared towards making me spend over the odds with them. |
