Mainland Animal Emergency Clinic

I was happy they were open on Labor Day. I did not know why my yorkie’s belly blew up all of a sudden so had to rush to the only place open. The vet was nice and patient and explained everything in detail. He also answered questions on how to avoid the incident in the future. Price was moderate.

They were so good with my dog I appreciated how much they cared and how thorough they were! And tried to accommodate us as best they could and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in there care!

The front desk girl was really nice and even the vet. She was very gentle with my 8 year old baby puppy who has issues with pancreatitis. We talked about tests, blood work and xrays but we already knew what the problem was. I said to the vet again that she had this issue before and we dont need «all these tests» the vet said she would prepare an estimate and asked if we had insurance and then i knew this was going to be bad. When she did come back the estimate was almost $ 900.00. After almost passing out we just said we will pay for the exam and take her to our regular vet. She insisted she can cut out some of the items and came back with a $ 600.00 estimate. We just left with no disrespect to the vet. We have been dealing with vets for all of our lives and we have never heard of such absurd prices. What bothers me the most is that we all know that there are some veternarians out there that will gauge you just because they can but these «tests» were not necessary and these prices are so out of wack. Where do we draw the line between the health of a life and excessive profit… excessive is an understatement. Don’t get me wrong we love our pets and there is nothing we wouldn’t do for them but this is absurd, offensive and just an out right crime. If you are a cash cow then by all means, knock yourself out but stay with your regular vet. We will never go back here.

Awesome place. Staff was super friendly, very reassuring when I was freaking out. I wasn’t hit with what I would classify as «unnecessary costs» as I was expecting, the final bill was pretty much what I expected. Dr Zaffer was professional, realistic, and diligent in his work up, and even went so far as to check my dog’s anal glands when the problem we came in for was on his paw. The day after our visit they followed up with a phone call, and the day after that they called again. I was very impressed with this place, and will hopefully not have to return for any emergencies, but if we find ourselves back here I know that my dog is in capable hands.
