ETA: We are all overwhelmed by our amazing clients sharing their experiences with us! It's been humbling to see of our oldest and newest clients giving testimonies of the amazing work and care my staff provides!

Good evening valued clients! We, unfortunately, are the victims of a smear campaign due to a disgruntled client because we defended our ethics, our doctor, and didn't give in to bullying. They are having their friends and family leave 1-star reviews on our Google. He did tell me that he would do this if he wasn't given an unwarranted discount and he would try to destroy my business since he knew how negative reviews could affect a business.

If you have had a positive experience with our hospital and have the time, would you kindly leave us a review on our Google page to drown out the negativity that this previous client is bringing to my wonderful and hardworking staff and business?

UPDATE!! LEX HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

Meet Lex! This sweet boy is a 8 month old, 14lb, neutered French Bulldog looking for his forever home. Lex was an owner surrender after chronic diarrhea lead to a pr*****ed re**um. We have seen corrected Lex's re**al issues and gotten his diarrhea under control.

Lex has been with us at the clinic since August and is now ready to go live his best life. Lex is a special boy who loves basking in the sunshine, being played with, and wants a family of his very own! Lex is great with other dogs, cats, and older children. We do not know how he would be with children under 8.

Lex's continued care only needs to be a special diet (not uncommon for bulldogs) otherwise he doing great! He will need to go to a family who understands that French bulldogs can be special needs and could require frequent vet visits. Lex's adoption fee is $2000 which will cover only about a 1/4 of his veterinary care. We want to make sure Lex goes to a responsible and informed home!

Please share this post so we can get this sweet boy adopted! If you are interested in adopting Lex, please call 256-333-2345.
