Luv My Pet

I was little nervous. My Labrabull doesnt do well in public, they were wonderful with her. They were polite, professionals. I will return.

It’s not fast because there will always be a long line. It’s not fast because you have to wait to get every time a vet doctor’s prescription confirmation.

2^nd visit and last visit
I don’t trust these people. The first vet was wonderful 9÷22÷13 @ Owings Mills and so are Petco’s employees BUT the second vet 10÷23÷13 @ Washington Blvd was not.
There are not enough times and dates when these flighty people setup the ‘shot clinic’ you have to wait wks to see them again and have the nerve to say if it was done too long ago you need to start again WTH. Then they want you come back 4 and 5 times they are out of their rabbit minds
I could not understand anything on my first pink slip I had no clue what was done or not done for a small fee they need to have a BOOKLET and write in the vaccines that were given. Why isn’t there someone with a filing system computer or paper that has the vaccines that were done within this month or longer?
It makes me wonder if the vaccines that were done are REAL
I was told that if my shots were done a month ago I needed to start all over again in addition to that they refused to give me leeway because I left the pink slip and ‘coupon’ 23 miles away! Money hungry for 10 dollars!
And every time there are at least 2 people that are rude… I am not sure what is wrong with the people they employ but I aren’t pet friendly nor people friendly
This whole service needs a refresher or needs to be ERADICATED

I took my 13 year old dog to the Rockville MD Petco, on 4÷21÷2013 for the Superpack vaccination at $ 71.00 and Heartguard $ 44.00. The vet did not look at my dog and I am sure my pet did not get his rabies shot. My dog received the combo shot and the med in his nose which most was on the vet and not in my dog. Further when I went to pay I was told by some teenager that they were out of the heartguard and would ship to me the next day. Let’s just say a week later still no heart preventive and I have called three times with no return call and sent emails requesting my product I purchased. I have requested my bank to reverse the charges as no service and product received. This is most concerning as we don’t know if our pets are really getting vaccinated or just water in the syringes. I would recommend not to use this service as there is no regulatory oversight and you may be placing your pet at risk.

You get what you pay for.
Went to the Unleashed in Sterling for the mobile clinic April 2013.
The staff looked like quite the band of misfits. All young, 20 at he most — Purple hair, tattoos, dropping f-​bombs everywhere. But friendly enough.
The Vet on the other hand, was about 100 years old. Once inside the van, he was about to give my dog the first shot and I asked him what it was — he said Rabies.
I stopped him, my dog did not need rabies and it was not marked on the form.
The tech said «sorry, my mistake I read the form wrong» and giggled. I told her it was not funny that she almost gave my dog the wrong vaccine. Not ok.
Bottom line — if you have a healthy dog that just needs a few vaccines, this is a much cheaper alternative to the vet. But yes, you get what you pay for and you have to watch them carefully. Also, be prepared to stand in line for about an hour.

Went to the Tysons Petco for the monthly LMP mobile clinic. Friendly service and compassionate care. My dog didn’t even Unilocal when she got her shots. Yay!
Another plus, they don’t try to make you buy additional packages and they don’t require a $ 50 physical just to get the required annual shots. Ahem, Banfield Hospital.
Only negative comment is that the truck stays powered on for hours constantly exuding exhaust fumes that completely stink up the air. Can’t be good for all the people and pets waiting and polluting the air. They should look into bringing along a battery for the power they need.

I’ve been taking my dog to this mobile vet for past three years. Never had any problems. The vets and technicians were always very gentle and compassionate to my dog. Last year my dog tried to run off but the technician caught him and soothed and calmed him to my amazement. I will be back.

I went to a Luv My Pet shot clinic today in Woodbridge VA to get vaccines for my chihuahua. After standing in line for 1 ½ hrs. the vet was irritated that my dog was wiggling and he hit my dog. Yes, that’s right, he hit her, in the head. My little 6.5 pound chihuahua who was already frightened from being around some loud big dogs for so long and then having someone prodding her. She didn’t try to bite him, she just wouldn’t hold still. He instructed the assistant to hold the dog still. The girl seemed intimidated and didn’t hold my dog very firmly. He instructed her to hold the dog around the neck and hold her head still, which she did. My dog was still wiggling around and the vet (if he even is one) hesitated, made an angry face and then hauled off and hit her in the head with an open hand. He hit her pretty hard too. I said «Did you just hit my dog, what the hell?» He said «No, I hit her.» and pointed to the assistant. I said «so you hit your co-​workers?» He then said «I can’t deal with this» and waved me away. I immediately went to the Petco manager and told him. They filed a complaint with their district office. I also called the police. In retrospect, I wish I had said more to the S.O.B. and I wish I had hit him in defense of my dog. Sadly, the law is clear with people and I probably would have been arrested, but hitting a dog is not a crime. (as it is if he had hit a person.) However, he did hit his assistant in the process. I wish she would have done something. It was such a messed up situation. I will never go to a clinic again to save money. My poor little dog was traumatized, as was I by this rotten human being. Luv My Pet hasn’t heard the last from me. Stay away from them! It’s not worth it to save some money. These traveling clinics are dangerous and iffy. After doing some reading online I have found that they hire people with no experience and just send them out to assist with giving shots to pets. If you don’t believe me, do your own research before taking your pet to them.
Learn from me, these people are dangerous. Here’s a link to their site where they hire ANYBODY. Scary! No experience. This is what you are trusting your beloved pet to.
I’m just glad my dog didn’t die as a result of negligence as some others have. (I have read some awful reviews from others.)

While Washington Animal Rescue League offers low-​cost vaccinations ($ 10 per shot or so), they only hold the clinic once a month (at the end of the month). Unfortunately, I can’t wait that long to have Halpert get his shots. Luv My Pet, a mobile and local low-​cost clinic, is an excellent alternative. Their clinic locations are listed on their website, and the closest (and soonest) location to my residence was at the Petco in Beltsville, Maryland.
I arrived thirty minutes before the clinic mobile, which was a good decision. There were already several pet owners ahead of me and I had to wait almost an hour. I expected a line, so the wait wasn’t a problem. The veterinarian assistant who helped with paperwork was very pleasant to talk to. She was not only knowledgeable about each patient’s medical needs, but it was quite evident that she really like working with animals (especially cats). Halpert only needed rabies and the 4 in 1 shots, and the assistant didn’t push to add unnecessary vaccinations or services.
Once inside the clinic mobile, the veterinarians wasted no time in administering the shots. In LESS than 5 minutes, Halpert was back in his carrier and ready to go! Their speediness made up for the long wait time.
Halpert’s shots were $ 35 (which includes a $ 1 medical waste disposal fee per procedure). If you are looking for low cost vaccinations, I strongly recommend Luv My Pet. They offer a variety of general vaccinations at affordable prices, their locations are very convenient if you live near a Petco, and the staff is helpful and friendly. You may pay little for Luv My Pet’s services, but your pet’s health and well-​being is priceless.
