anyone have any opinions on the well pet clinic? Good or bad, thinking about using them when we get our new puppy in a few weeks. Vets are just sooo expensive! Thanks!

I use them for all routine shots etc..but for sick visits I use Three notch vet. This does indeed save me a bit of money. They have always been great..even got my male cat neutered there.

I've been taking my dogs to them for 10 years. (wow, Precious is old :frown:) I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them :yay:

My Petunia goes there. They treat her like a champ, although they keep telling her she is fat. :frown: She is going to get a complex

:lol: You are right, kinda. The doctor did say she was over weight.


I call her fat. poor fatty patty. :lol:

We got a cat from there and they are good. My oldest girl is also volunteering there for girl scouts. That is were we are taking are cat for all her check ups. Hope this is helpfull.

We have had no problems with them. Two cats fixed there, shots done there and our other dog will be going in next month to be fixed. They save us alot of money.

Great place to take your pets, we have had both our dogs spayed there and take them there for all their well pet needs, shots, etc......I would highly recommend them to any one...

Great! By chance do you know if they use laser surgery for spaying or do they still do the whole cut open thing? Some vets that I have got prices from say they do a laser procedure instead which is better. This is our first female pet

I think its a cut open. (not really sure though)


But I did Petunia's almost two years ago, and you can barely see a scar. And since she lays spread eagle a LOT (*not a lady*) You can't tell

I'm pretty sure they cut the old fashion way. Had both my pups spaded there, but it's been 5 and 10 yrs ago.

I love the well pet clinic!! We've take our little guy there since we first got him. We had him neutered there and he has gotten all his shots there as well. They are so nice and helpful.Recently we had to take him because he was scratching his neck raw and they fixed him right up gave him a shot and some antibiotics.He's all better now:)

The Well Pet Clinic is awesome !

They are good, very nice people. But they are a small clinic- if your pet ever needs an x-ray, ultrasound, surgery, diagnostics, etc they can't do it. But they are great for WELL pet visits (hence the name) such as routine shots, etc.

I have found that I usually sit in the waiting room a while (even with an appointment) which is very different from 3-notch who usually takes me right back. So allow for a little extra time (they only have one vet working on a given day).

They also have very unusual days/hours- I think it is tuesdays, thursdays, and every other saturday only. So you should have a full service vet on hand in case anything happens on a day they aren't there.

In answer to your question about spay surgery- yes they do the old fashioned "cut open" method. But you will pay $50 there compared to $300-400+ at a full service vet for spay surgery.

We have also used them and they are great. If you have a few feral or undomesticated cats, they will work out a price with you to get them all fixed. Hope this helps.

I take mine there for everything but emergencies and I love them. The little one was spayed there this year, and she has just a teeny tiny scar.

I have a small issue with them right now! Got our kitten fixed there in the spring without any problems, got a puppy a month ago and have been going there for shots. All has been well until now= took puppy there earlier this week for 12 wk shots, told need to follow up in 3-4 wks for booster, which is between aug 3-10. okay, sounds good, I call today( a month in advance!) to be sure I have some choice in appts- not happening! So this is what I'm told by the receptionist- there is only one vaccination day in that 7 day span available, the rest of the days are surgery days or they are closed for some reason or another... So then she gets kinda rude when I can't do that exact day(of all days, that is one day I can't do it neither can my other half) and tells me if I can't bring her that day she will get off schedule, then I will have to pay for a booster shot! So your telling me- you want me to pay for a booster because you have ONE day available to give shots that week. Not happening, I made an appt for the following week, I will get her shots then and if a booster is needed I will not pay for it just because your schedule is so messed up that week- not my fault the vet wants off, they can have time off, just accomodate your schedule accordingly(ie take away a half day of surgeries & do vaccines in the afternoon)(more money paid for surgeries then vaccines so no cutting them out!) Can anyone tell me that 5 days later for a booster vaccine really makes that much difference???? Geez! JMO!!

:blahblah:!

If their busy and/or inconvenient schedule bothers you than feel free to make a timely appointment at your nearest vet. You get what you pay for...:yay: :yay:

IMHO our pets are so overvaccinated, just like we people are so overmedicated. Vets make bux from the 'boosters'. They want to give your pet as many as it's little body can handle. Google info on pet overvaccination and you'll get the other side of the story, which is not pretty and most folks are totally unaware of.

again IMHO. I do what is manditory by law, that's it. They are not going to ruin my pets own immune system with their drugs.

again IMHO.

Thanks.

:yeahthat:

They are likely able to offer services at lower cost because they keep a smaller schedule (part time vs full time employees).

If it bothers you, try going to three notch, st marys, all kinds, etc and see what you'll end up paying!

I'm with everybody else on this. The reason the cost is so low, is because they don't have the full time hours. Some people who work there are actually volunteering to work there, some are only working there a few hours a week at low compensation, they have other jobs as well, such as the actual vet. You should be thanking your lucky stars that the vet actually gives a crap and does this at all. These people are doing this because they want to offer lower prices to those in our community. If it isn't worth it to you to adjust your schedule to their availability, then go to a regular vet's office, or go on another day and pay the fee there, it's low enough. :shrug: If you refuse to pay your bill, just because you are being a selfish hateful person, then I actually hope they refuse you service in the future. The location is operating at cost, and their prices show it. Just because you got your panties in a twist, doesn't mean you should make others suffer.

Sophie, our Chihuahua mix, went to see Dr Chapman, a holistic & homeopathic vet, last Thursday. The 1st thing she told me is to quit giving her vaccinations! She said this is an excessive immune stimulus for an elderly dog. If they are vaccinated when they are young, it should stay with them for many years; probably their whole lives.
The law says you have to vaccinate for Rabies so I will probably keep my dogs "legal"
We spent about 2 hours w/ Dr Chapman and she made some excellent suggestions for Sophies diet to include supplements and remedies.

IMHO our pets are so overvaccinated,

I agree...

Read this new study and guide for vaccinations. This is a worldwide committee.

Yes, it is technical, but if you take your time you will understand and if you have problem read Tables.

You could also give to your vet to read.

Lastly, Rabies are the only madontory shots.

IMO: I have Rabies at 4 mo and DHPP (No Lepto, or Corna) 1 at 3 mo 1 at 4 mo (not same week as Rabies). I also schedule any alters I can at 4 mo.

thats what I am doing with my cats, and will when I get my dog. Esp since they are indoors only and not around other animals. I see no reason to continue to vaccinate the hell out of them. The rabies I will do, but I won't get other ones past kitten/puppyhood.

that is pretty stupid. I get my dog vaccinated against all things due to the fact you never know what could happen. Did you know the lepto shot protects your puppy/dog if they drink out of a rain puddle or any water that is laying around outside or of that because if by any chance a raccoon or another animal like that took a pee in the puddle your dog could end up really sick. My vet is very knowledgeable and knows her stuff. I will not stop vaccinating my dog due to you all thinking you know everything when you actually know nothing. Also I think they also require the distemper shot but if they don't then when your dog gets distemper don't come running to us as you read on here that it is stupid to give your dogs the correct shots..

Recommending, administering, and charging for re-administration of modified live vaccines like Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Feline Panleukopenia, injectable Feline Rhinotracheitis, and injectable Feline Calicivirus on an semi-annual, annual, bi-annual or tri-annual basis is theft by deception, fraud by misrepresentation, misrepresentation by silence, and undue influence given the literature that states:

1. The USDA Center for Biologic and Therapeutic Agents asserts that there is no scientific data to support label claims for annual re-administration of modified live vaccines, and label claims must be backed by scientific data.

2. It is the consensus of immunologist that a modified live virus vaccine must replicate in order to stimulate the immune system, and antibodies from a previous vaccination will block the replication of the new vaccinate virus. The immune status of the patient is not enhanced in any way. There is no benefit to the patient. The client is paying for something with insignificant or no effect, except that the patient is being exposed to unnecessary risk of an adverse reaction.

3. A temporal association has been demonstrated between vaccinations and the development of Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia.

4. It has been demonstrated that the duration of immunity for Canine Distemper virus is 7 years by challenge, and 15 years by serology; for Canine Parvovirus is 7 years by challenge, for Feline Panleukopenia, Rhinotracheitis, and Feline Calicivirus is 7.5 years by challenge.

A reasonable client would not elect re-administration of any of the above stated vaccinations for a previously immunized pet if provided with the above information

I highly recommend the Well Pet Clinic for vaccinations, spaying or neutering services, flea and tick mess, annual well pet visits and they will also see your pet for minor sick visits. My daughter's friend's mother Mrs. Knight is the house vet. The spay/ neuter surgeries are done by another vet. It is very cost effective for basic well pet being. I have also heard nothing but wonderful things about All Kinds in Calloway.

i had my dog spayed there, and i usually have them do the vacinations and get her meds there (they are cheaper by a lot shot and dont require an appointment).

But i take her to three notch on airport drive for anything emergency or out of the norm. Last year she tore her butt open (about 7 inches) at about 600pm. i called three notch, they had me bring her in and had her put back together in a few hours. One doctor and a vet tech stayed until almost 9 so that i could pick her up and she could spend the night at home. Not cheap, but they really cared about her and went out of their way to make sure she was seen to.

thanks for all the replys!

yup you can't beat that is right. I love going to all kinds...i use dr.autumn terry or dr.schad..i like them both....

I didn't know there was a Well Pet Clinic in St Mary's. I have been using a Clinic in Waldorf, and have had NO problems with them. The price is right, and even the Front-Line is cheaper than anywhere else I have found. Make sure that you tell the Vet that when your Dog gets the distemper shot, that it also has Leptospirosis in it. I didn't know they had 2 kinds, and evidentally, in Calvert County, Lepto is a problem.

We dont use the word FAT!!!! We use the words "well loved"

Thanks


Well Pet :yay: (but also have a RDVM on hand in case you have a sick pet... :buddies:)

That is a very good idea to have a DVM on hand for emergencies. I use Solomons. To iCit, in reference to the word "Well Loved", verses fat..I prefer the word "Fluffy".

My cat got an infection right after being fixed and died a week later... May have or may not have been the fault of the clinic but will make me think twice before using them again...Its been 5 yrs

Do they give meds? My old girl requires Rimadyl and Pronin. St. Marys animal hospital wants me to bring her in everytime (she is 16) to give her a physical, draw blood and weigh her, this is approx 75 -125.00 each visit. Since I am currently unemployed I cant afford the visit and the meds.

since she is that old.. she does need her blood work done before giving and non steroidal meds. As they can make the kidney/liver values elevate.

I was told that bloodwork once a year for a dog her age is sufficient. I dont mind paying the vet when its necessary, but were talking 4 times a year and since Iam not employed right at the moment, its a little difficult. I dont expect to get her meds for free but just thought the well pet clinic could dispense them at a cheaper rate. Thanks for the input.

My old guy is 16 also and he is on deramax (?), my vet writes the subscription for 6 months and then does a kidney panel when it is time for a renewal. (he only takes half of tablet though) Kinda sounds like 4 times a year is a little frequent. :shrug: But then I do not know what Pronin is either so that may be why. Maybe you could switch Vets :shrug: ICIT could advise you better.

We were using Well Pet Clinic for dog and daughters cats, even though it is hard to get there with the hours they are open. Finally after standing outside reading the sign saying they were open and there was nobody there, we stopped going and went to All Kinds in Callaway. I agree, Well Pet had some good prices, but it just wasn't worth it for us, since they are rarely open. We are very happy with All Kinds and all our pets go there now.

Thanks for all the advice. I appreciate it. Pronin is a medication that controls her incontinence. She gets 1/2 a pill every morning and it works great. She was leaking urine when she would lay down. I was told this is normal for an older female who has been spayed and never had a litter. We had her spayed when six months old. Anyway, I may try the well pet clinic. Thanks again to all :)

FFT, what kind of pup are you getting in a few weeks? That's so excieting to get a new pup.

I do not know what Pronin is either

It's Proin and is used for incontinence.

Well Pet Clinic gets two thumbs up from me! The ladies there are very nice and I didn't pay an arm and a leg for vaccinations and flea/tick and heartworm meds. More than I paid in NC but everything up here is more expensive so I wasn't surprised. The vet did say that my dog is entering his "geriatric years" soon. :frown: I'll just refer to him as middle-aged. :lol:

That's the worst isn't it?

I recently got a reminder that Mily is due for her senior check-up. :bawl: Her black spot on the side of her face is starting to gray.....

They had a chart up in the exam room that says the life expectancy for large breed dogs is like 8-10 years, but giant breeds are 7-8 years. Generally catahoulas are 12-13 years but he is on the big side for his breed. I get weepy just thinking about it. :ohwell:

He'll be 6 next month. He's always been in perfect shape physically (but slightly Woody Allen-ish emotionally :lmao:) so I'm hoping we have at least 6 more years. Catahoulas are a hearty breed.
