This VCA animal hospital in Rutherford NJ and for the reviews I've seen should not be in business! They almost killed my cat $3000 for pain meds all they did because I could not afford their $7000 they claimed he was blocked, it turned out he just had UTI, just needed fluids and antibiotics which cost me another $1500 at another emergency vet.

ALL THEY CARE IS ABOUT THE MONEY. I signed an agreement with VCA Hospital for over $10,000.00 so they can treat my sick dog. They kept her overnight, very little if anything was done and she ultimately died in their care. Do not trust this hospital all they care is about money not your pet.

Scam all they want is money no help or communication. Please go anywhere else

Expensive! Blood test cost $329.25. For a standard valley fever check. Each time I return there the cost has increased.

I didn't even want to give them one star they honestly don't even deserve that I was forced in down town calgary to take my dog Joey down to a vca emergancy vet hospital due to the fact he ate something outside of my apartment building and collapsed in my lap at home they told me at the door to pay 2000 dollars wich I didn't have I'm low income and or they couldn't do nothing for him quote " if I sign him over to the humane society they can pay his vet bill " and I had no choice with my baby dying inside the hospital after trying to Bite them cause they were literally pulling on him to get him out of my car wich was uncalled for to begin with get him inside then tell me you want 2000 dollars I had no choice knowing he wasn't doing well and not wanting him to die they made me sign the papers and so I did once signed they made me think for weeks that my dog was dead and in a month later they posted him at the humane society with out a picture well I knew it was my Joey in that ad they tried to throw us off with misinterpreted information about him being a little off but a good friend of mine was the one who drove me that day and was in total disbelief on the forcing me to sign papers and give him up to the humane society then after try to charge me with neglect of his medical situation once paper was signed and then to top things off have the audacity to tell me to go to the humane society and adopt a different dog I couldn't have my dog back but I was welcome to any other dog this place the humane society and all the whole chain is in it 1000000 % out of 100 for the cash only retreat from taking any pet there ever they will scam lie cheat and steal to get your pet make you think they are dead when they aren't and then to top it off post them up for cash for a new home anyway my friend didn't agree when they came and made me sign the paperwork so he when Joey went up for adoption he went and got a appointment to adopt him and now he owns him but I get to see him every day now thanks to my friend jim who is also a very well known martial arts sensa in calgary here and very well respected by many and he got my boy back with his people he knows that day what they did to us for a whole month making me think he was dead when he wasn't and all that was wrong and this place should not be allowed to touch anyone's pet ever take your pet private like here where I live in bowness here the animal hospital by the superstore is now where my pets go to and I boycott ever going to another vca ever again I refuse to ever go back this place is evil and they 110% don't give a damn about your pet or you I wouldn't take any animal there for no reason evil place stay away from thos place unless you want to never see your pet again this happend to me about two years ago thank you jim for letting me be able to see my boy again evil hospital doesn't hurt the city if this place fell on top these money thirsty hoodlums disgusting people that work there should be ashamed of them selves I wish this place and all the vcas would close thier doors forever and they should all go to jail I'm my eyes everyone there was nothing but a scam artist and a terrible criminal stay awsy from here if you truly love your pet trust me from my experience stay away

This is from your own website Prompt attention usually allows the adult teeth to move into their proper positions. In most cases, it is not recommended to wait until your pet is neutered or spayed. Extraction of the persistent tooth require general anesthesia. Your veterinarian will take special care during the extraction to avoid damaging the developing roots of the new permanent tooth. My two dogs are 1 yr and 3 months and all you've done is watch their adult teeth grow over their baby teeth, obviously do you could charge more money for a second unnecessary surgery with no regard for my dogs well being. This is exactly why I was hesitant to bring my dogs there because it's not about the pet with you it's only about the money. I only went there because, at the time, you were the only ones in the area accepting new patients. Extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with your service.

Horrible experience. We are bringing our dog for cadi injections to VCA Aventura Animal Hospital every 2 months for the pass several years and today they rejected to do the injection with the explanation that the dog has some ear infection and we have to spent over $400.00 first to do some ear test and treatment which has nothing to do with the appointment we scheduled for the injection. Cadi (cytopoint) injection is a treatment to reduce any allergies and slow down the itch. Our dog was treated for ear infection previously in VCA Aventura by Dr. Alexeev and I would say that he is only one doctor at this clinic who are a real doctor and provide a truly health service and not a business services to the pets.( Unfortunately he was off today and injection can be provided by any technicians) Medical Director Gabrielle was very unprofessional as a health care provider and very good as a business provider trying to do a business first and then worry about the health of the pet. I would not recommend this clinic if you really need a professional services to your pets. For the pass several years the doctors and personal change constantly here most likely due to unprofessional services they provided.

My dog sitter had to take my French Bulldog to the nearest emergency room for breathing distress while I was out of town. This Fountain Valley VCA hospital was an absolute nightmare! They know that they have the owner over a barrel and feel free to extort as much money as they can because they know the owner is not going to tell them to let their pet die! Their invoice was full of duplicate charges and within an hour of arrival, they had a treatment plan that was estimated at $6400 for an overnight hospital stay. The grossly inflated charges included $80 for each and every blood pressure taken, $727 for a chest X-ray, interpretation, and sedation of an already sedated dog! Their charge for medications in addition to $200 for IV medications was $450 -- for 15 tablets of Trazodone sedative, and 9 tablets of Prednisone -- very common and inexpensive generic medications. There is absolutely no regulation against this kind of price gouging for anyone unfortunate enough to enter their doors. Their greed is unconscionable, and probably all too common for this industry.
