YGF Low Cost Veterinary Clinic

I am very impressed with the staff at YGF. I had 2 of my cats spayed and the staff was informative and caring. The cats were back to their normal playfulness within 2 – 3 days. I would highly recommend YGF clinc.

I was out of town when my little Savannah decided to stop eating… I called from out of town and asked for an appointment for Saturday Jan 2^nd… they squeezed me in. Let me say from Brenda– who greeted me with a very warm and comforting greeting. then Lisa came out and asked me questions to try and understand Savannah’s symptoms. Chris came and took my Savannah to see Dr Thompson… They were all wonderful and very professional. They squeezed me in which I appreciated and saw my Little Savannah. Chris was amazing taking good care of her and diagnosing her and giving me an antibiotic. Amanda took good care of us… They were all very professional and extremely affordable… I am lucky to have brought my little girl there. Thank you for all for caring.

The only thing this place is good for is low cost shots. The front desk is always crazy and they never seem to know what is going on or where your records are. My dog had surgery with a biopsy and never got a call back about the results. I have called to get my sick dog in and was told I would get a call back and never got a call back. I won’t be back there again. We have found a new amazing vet in town.

Please, please… whatever you do, do NOT take your animal here. He’s what happened to me. I adopted a puppy from a local shelter and included in the adoption fee was neutering at this place. We dropped our puppy off at 8 a.m. And came back around 3 to pick up. Well, upon seeing him I knew that something wasn’t right. His eyes were so watery and he had excessive drool coming from his mouth. They told us that they had given him a 24 hour pain shot. The whole car ride home he was whimpering. I thought it was just the movement of the car. By the time 5:45 rolled around we had a puppy in some very serious pain. He couldn’t lay down, he could barely stand up and he was Unilocaling so bad. I knew I had to get him some pain meds and quick. Because they didn’t send us home with any. Like I said they said they gave him this mysterious pain shot that I have absolutely no record of in my paperwork that they gave me. So I got on the phone with Banfields, they said as long as I could get there before 6:30 they they could see him. We jumped in the car and flew. They could only give him certain meds because there was no record of what pain meds he was given. They prescribed 3 days of pain meds and something to help the swelling that he had. Why couldn’t YGF give us this much? It really makes me question what kind of place this is. They didn’t even send him home with a collar to keep him from licking. We got that later. Just please do your pet a favor and take them to a real vet.

There is no place like YGF! The owner is so dedicated to what she does she is often found staying overnight in the clinic laying down with the dogs or cats to bring them comfort.
The combined knowledge & experience of the dedicated veterinarians from YGF far surpasses what you would find anywhere locally. The staff who work behind the scenes love and take care of the animals with tender loving care as if the animals were their very own.
We have seen this first hand. Not just once or twice but repetitively. Our dog, Chance, is alive today because Joyce Alderman & Dr. Honey researched his rare blood disease & found a cure. If that’s not dedication, I don’t know what is.
The vet fee was reasonable & did not break us financially. We made forever friends with the doctors, staff & owner of YGF. By the way, because of Chancey’s delicate condition we were «behind the scenes» a lot. We got to see how they handle your pets. We heard the staff call your pet by name. We saw the doctors work overtime to save the lives of our animals. We saw Joyce’s sleeping bag & her tired face the morning after she spent the night in a dog cage comforting a near death doggie after life saving surgery.
Yep, we have witnessed all this. And now we ask, where can you find a Vet Clinic that can compare? You can’t! We’ve tried in the past. We found our forever Vet Clinic & staff.

Reasonable and great care. No it’s not a pretty fancy place. So it isnt for your little FUFU in your little diamond studded purse. If you want people who love the animals to care for the pets for reasonable prices go to YGF. If you want a pretty waiting room to be overcharged by a charlatan, go to the city.

The Best! I have full confidence in their vets & their techs are so caring. I truly appreciate «not feeling like I’ve been taken advantage of», meaning. my previous vet, every visit, no matter for what, I could not afford to pay for. I ended up putting it on a charge card. It was so bad for me, I found myself not taking my animals in for regular visits, or even emergencies for fear of the cost. It’s wonderful to know my pets are welcomed & cared for here.

Well, this place was recommended to me as a great low cost clinic, which it is. But from reading various pros and cons regarding this business from various sources besides Unilocal,this company has it lovers and haters…
I agree completely with Rosemary and Mike. Great care, but come in knowledgeable of what your animal needs. And watch what is done, they are known for giving full shot updates when only one shot is needed…
Their costs are alot lower than local vets and lower than my regular vet back home. For me to have a dental cleaning on my dog, the cost here is $ 200. They explained to me what is done when they clean, and their explanation matched my regular vet at more than half the cost! My neighbour is getting his dog fixed for less than $ 100 by them.
Their record keeping is mediocre at best. Don’t be surprised if you have five separate records for one animal.
I will say that they have a great groomer that I use.
I am happy with what they have done with my dog so far… and I hope they keep the good service I have received so far…

I entirely concur with Rosy’s review. YGF is an excellent service to the community. I honestly wish there were a few more places like this. I’d like to add that this place is not intended for use as a «primary care» veterinarian, but as a low cost clinic. However when you are in a pinch (and typically when your beloved pets are sick or injured it’s not at a convenient time) this clinic can REALLY help you and your furry friends out.
There is also a groomer on site. Trust me, it is NOT where you take your champion poodle «Prancy» for a checkup and a manicure. YGF is perfect if you need an animal fixed or made current on immunizations and doesn’t have $ 100 extra cash on hand. Also, due to the volume of customers the staff doesn’t seem to keep extensive records on file, so keep your receipts for future vet trips.

Recently we rescued a stray cat that had started sleeping on our front porch. Not wanting to make a huge investment in our new little buddy we decided to try out YGF. There are definitely pros and cons to the low cost vet approach as we soon found.
Pros: really reasonable prices on basic procedures and vaccinations, friendly staff that genuinely care about animals and pretty good availability for appointments. They also have a semi separate room designated for feline patients which is decorated with creepy cat paraphernalia.
Cons: Not very thorough with checkups, you have to be specific about what is/​might be wrong with the animal, the waiting room is often full of big, noisy dogs which can be stressful for little dogs and cats.
All things considered, this vet is a great find. Maybe not the best place for primary care but definitely great for cost efficient, last minute health concerns.
