HOOVES PAWS & CLAWS

Dr. Cash-Warren was extremely professional and took the time to show me what to do when the esophagus collapses. She answered all my questions and ensured I understood.

Dr. Cash saved my dog b/c she could not walk at all and after spending a
few days at her office and some injections she is able to walk again.
Dr. Cash knows what she is doing, extremely loving and kind to the
animals she treats, and staff is very friendly.

Dr. Marion at Hooves Paws and Claws had diagnosed my Rottweiler with hip dysplasia and she had given shots for a couple of years. She was giving steroids which he took for three or four months. Then we went to New Mexico three or four years later and my Rottweiler broke a bone. I took him to another vet in New Mexico and he was diagnosed with cancer and it had already spread. He could not be saved. The veterinarian said that she had never had hip dysplasia. What he had were bone spurs in his spine. The steroids accelerated that. I felt she was really unqualified; she obviously did not diagnose right. If we had had the right diagnosis in the beginning this treatment would have been different.

Additionally, this veterinarian asked that we temporarily provide a home for a dog who had been dropped off at that office. We did so and searched for a home for him. After a month, we had not found a suitable home and asked the vet to neuter the then 6 or 7 month old. We were told we had had the dog too long and they would not do it. We did sucessfully find an excellent home for him within the next month.

First off, I would like to say that I am unsure what I was charged at this visit because I have been there several times for several different things. I would like to express though that this vet always has been the cheapest vet I have ever seen. They always keep their prices below others. Also, they will explain things to you very thoroughly and tell you exactly what needs to be done. Other places will not do that. Other places will basically charge you $10 for some crushed up Tylenol and send you on your way. At this particular visit, the check up went fine. My dog was healthy then and is still healthy now.
