I enrolled in the Paw Plan. Seven months in to a year long plan, I was just informed she was not eligible for any more services because I am refusing a rabies vaccine. This is my second year on the plan and I have never accepted a rabies vaccine. (I am NOT an anti vaxer, she has all her other vaccines). I was just informed that this was a policy change. I called to make my appointment three weeks ago and was not informed of this. I specifically remember them saying she's due for her rabies vaccine and my response was she w... read more
The doctor we have encountered on our recent visits is great. But in agreement with the other reviewers, the front desk and the techs are rude. I am not sure which tech we encountered today when we arrive ON time for our appointment and weren't seen for another 20 minutes when there was not one other single person in the waiting room. The tech is the same as the one we received last time with extremely long acrylic nails. We were told after our puppy had his 3rd and final distemper shot to book a follow up check up appointme... read more
The vets themselves are great, but the front desk/office staff is awful. Admittedly we were late to an appointment (25 minutes, as I ,mixed up the appointment time), then waited for a few extra minutes to be seen once inside the office. There were two people working the desk. The person who helped me was rude and stated they only hold the appointment for 30 minutes. When we responded that we were there before the 30 minute window expired, she responded well it's 30 minutes now (after I had waited at the desk). The woman was ... read more
My dog ended up seven months overdue for her rabies vaccine because Lifetime staff screwed up when they added her vaccine records. She had a one year rabies shot, and they put it in as three years. I only found out because I had to get a license for my dog, and the SD Humane Society required the actual vaccine certificate, not just vet records. When they saw it, they pointed out that the vet records were wrong. If not for that, she would've been two years overdue for her vaccine. Now I'm trying to order flea and tick pills... read more
Completely rude and uncaring staff. These people do not care about your pets, but only about the bottom line which is getting your money. They told me to starve my dog for 10 days because they won't fill his prescription diet when his annual isn't even due until the end of the month. Absolutely disgusting behavior, and we will never be back. This place is an embarrassment to facilities that actual care about pets.
I'm bummed to write this review but I'm super upset about how the front desk handled a situation. I made an appointment for a booster shot for two of my dogs who received the first dose a couple weeks prior. Given a family emergency I had to reschedule. No problem. Rescheduled. But they only rescheduled one of my dogs not both. I called the day of to confirm the appointment and they said it was only for the one. Since it was a booster it has to be done within a certain amount of time. I asked if they could just do both dog... read more
Dr. Hardy cared for many of my pets for their respective lifetimes. He was a true professional. He took the time to explain his plan and answer all questions. The animals, even one cat who only like me, trusted him. I woudn't have worried about continuing with Lifetime except I recieved a letter from Lifetime's new staff saying that my dog needed a rabies shot. This, of course, would be the normal procedure. ... read more
If you sort the reviews in date order you may start to see a trend. My family has been taking our pets here for 30 years, but it is no longer the place it was. Dr. Hardy is no longer running the show here and it is now a corporate money making machine that will nickel and dime you all the way with a revolving door of temporary vets. I would pay for a yearly check up and they would charge for a routine procedure (anal glands) on top of it. The new vet did not double charge and told me it was included....it was so refreshi... read more
This place is terrible. I should have known something was wrong when they had openings for appts the next day when others were booked weeks out. All this place wants is your money and will upcharge you to the upmost. When i called to verify charges, they simply stated i should have read my contract better. $500 for a visit and puppy shots was not what i was quoted on the phone, nor what i agreed to when they came to my car with their recommendations. If you are military there are tons of free and low cost per care facilities... read more
