Animal Hospital of Sullivan County

I called in advance to make sure I had all the current records for my dog. This was because I am from Florida and had not been in NY in two years. They told me all the things that I needed and that no reservation was needed. When we arrived the first question was, «Do you have a reservation?» No real problem, they were helpful with this. I provided all the records they requested. Then I was told my dog needed a flu shot. Neither my previous vet in NY or my current one in FL had even vaguely mentioned this. I was then told in order to give the shot she would need a $ 55 exam. I had no recourse as I had to be in the city in two hours. Obviously, the reason I called in advance was to avoid any problems. So they knew they had me. I ask the question of if the flu shot might make my dog sick for a day as it might with humans. The vet said, «I’ve never heard of that.» It then made my dog sick! I obtained this information from two separate people who both worked at the kennel. Also, I have my dog on advantage. Probably the most common flea and tick preventer. This was not enough for the kennel and required me to use an additional one they provided for an additional $ 33. So the total for two nights of boarding was $ 199. This is a TOTAL scam. If you care about your pet, steer clear of these folks. They are only looking to make an extra buck. SHAMEFUL.

$ 33.00 for a bag to transport an animal body to a crematory? You should be ashamed of yourselves. As if the nearly $ 200.00 fee plus $ 75.00 crematory charge was not enough.
