If possible I would give a zero star rating. My dog was hit by a car. Called the only 24hr I was aware of, which was Blue Sky in North Bay, was advised that my dog would be fine to see a vet in the am. At this time our dog was not showing any signs he had been in an accident. He was behaving absolutely normal, just abrasions.
When we woke up the next morning, he suddenly was not able to walk. So I called the nearest vet, Springer's. Now we almost never take our animals to the vet, except for needles. I do not do yearly check ups, because we are on a budget. Since our dog had not received his needles from Springer, Jennifer who answered the phone advised me that they did have emergency appointments and they did have room but only for their regular patients. Even when I questioned their compassion, she continued saying they needed to keep their emergency spots open for their "regularly paying patients". At one point she advised me that I could always bring my pets in for future yearly appointments if I did not want this situation to re occure.
Needless to say I was able to get in with another vet, who is not my dogs regular vet. I may have had a long wait time but the staff was understanding that this was an accident and I was very concerned for my dog. He ended up having a hairline pelvic fracture and head trauma. The other vet was even kind enough to follow up over the weekend and 3 days after. Definetly will refommend the other vet to anyone!!! Even if i continue to go to my regular vet.
Bottom line the staff at Springer Animal hospital lacks any compassion or caring. More concerned about getting you in for repeat visits then the well being of animals. Will never recommend this vet to anyone with pets.
