I called the Flemington Veterinary Hospital this morning on my friends behalf to set up an appointment for her to put her very ill, in much pain, old dog to sleep. When setting the appointment I asked (just to confirm the obvious) that prior to being euthanized the dog would first receive a sedative. I was told no, they don't need it. I asked again because I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Again...no. Taking a leap of faith I made the appointment and went with my friend and her dog. The parking lot was jam packed, waiting room full and you could see the receptionists were maxed out. They were extremely disorganized. At first couldn't find my appointment, didn't know prices and were clearly annoyed I even asked. These are only a few of the challenges I faced when trying to work with the receptionists. I was trying to handle the paperwork inside so my friend could spend a few last minutes of "quality" time with her dog outside and it was one challenge after the next. Anyway, once my friend and her dog were in the room with the Vet, me and the others out in the waiting room heard horrific screams and cries coming from that room. One of the others in the waiting room said she was so bothered that she was going to complain. My friend then came out and shared with me that even though there was a drawer full of muzzles, the vet took the leash the dog was brought in on and tightly wrapped it around his extremely arthritic jaw not once but multiple times. Let me remind you, the dog was in severe pain, had very bad jaw arthritis and teeth problems, could hardly move, denied a sedative and the vet wrapped his mouth tightly with its leash. When my friend came out she was so upset. As if putting your pet of many years to sleep isn't enough, she was devastated saying they clearly were in a rush and was so upset that her dog, one of her babies, had such a traumatic ending to his life because the Flemington Veterinary Hospital was so focused on just getting people out the door.
Love this place... I lived in Flemington for 17 years now and this is the only Vet I will use!! There all terrific here !!
Doctor and staff was very helpful. Answered all my questions and was quick to see my dog. My dog was treated like a person.
I never review, but I am shocked at the previous poster's review. I had to put my dog to sleep several months ago and it was no way near that type of experience. As a matter of fact, my dog who was not friendly to anyone except our family, was treated with the utmost respect, not muzzled, given a sedative, given another shot of sedative when the first one didn't take effect and then given the injection when we were ready! We were treated with empathy and compassion and were allowed to remain with her as long as we wanted after she was gone. I would never go anywhere else for my pets' needs.
Cannot go wrong with this vet surgery. Everyone is helpful and very considerate of your pet. The only draw back is that this is a busy surgery and appointments sometimes need to be fitted in, don't let this put you off though.
