Upper Keys Veterinary Hospital

If I could give it zero or negative stars, I would. I took my parakeet in for a simple beak trim. They killed my bird. I asked if they used a local anesthesia, like real professionals do, and they said no, nobody would. That’s a lie. I took the bird to Marathon Vet Hospital for the same thing. They used anesthesia, took blood and did tests. The bird was fine. Next time I will take anything animal related to the professionals. Basically it was: Here’s $ 20.00, sorry for killing your bird. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

As a person with 15 years veterinary experience I’m extremely disappointed with the price gouging at this hospital. I was passing through town with my dog who is fully up to date with vaccines as well as her prevention and medical needs. I needed to find a place to day board her while we visited a few local businesses. This hospital would not allow my dog to stay without an exam which is ridiculous and completely unnecessary. I stayed for the two minute exam which costed me additional and the veterinarian didn’t have much to say. Not to mention the hidden costs in the fine lines they automatically administer capstar at the cost of the client. It was completely disheartening being on the clients end of a veterinary visit like this. This hospital is what’s wrong with our field today. They have no competition as nothing in the surrounding areas were open or I would have gone somewhere else in a heart beat. Not to mention the poor rescue kittens up front had no water and there was a dog left in the yard completely unattended. I would not recommended this hospital to anyone in fact I encourage anyone in this area to look for another hospital because you’re probably losing a lot of money.
