    On 11/24/23 we made an appointment with Town and Country to see our Bunny ****. We have been a customer of Town and Country for 15+ yrs. and never had a problem until this time. **** has a tilted head, which is either an infection or ** ******** virus. In light of this, we made the appt. for the earliest they could see us, which was 12/04/23. In the meantime, we went to ************* to order the meds he would need to recover from his condition. ********* has its OWN pharmacy and such and to fulfill the orders that require a prescription, they need to make sure the customer ordering HAS A VET. We have a dog and 3 cats as well and, as stated before, have been a long time customer of town and country. They told ************* that we were NOT a customer JUST to STOP the APPROPRIATE meds from getting to us! I spoke with ********* and assured them that town and country WAS and HAS BEEN our family’s vet for many years. They were just as bewildered as me and my family were as it clearly appears town and country refused to affirm us as JUST customers to allow the medication to be sent (********* pharmacists approved!) to us. I’m assuming they thought if the animal gets better that they would lose out on MONEY over the appointment. That’s an incredibly sad way of conducting business. I asked for names of people who talked to ********** from town and country, and they said they ‘don’t use computers’, so that was fruitless too. SO - TOWN AND COUNTRY VET HOSPITAL ONLY CARES ABOUT MONEY AND NOT REALLY ABOUT YOUR PET. This is the ABSOLUTELY ONLY outcome drawn from this situation. People need to know this as it’s embarrassing to try and help my animal get the medication it needs ONLY to be turned away BECAUSE THERE IS NO VET AFFILIATION WITH MYSELF AND MY FAMILY FOR OUR PETS, which is obviously NOT the case. Just STUNNED at the whole ordeal. I’ve paid thousands to this place over the years in good faith BUT apparently I must NOT be ‘a customer.’ Will be on the news!

    Losing my dog during a routine spaying procedure was one of the most devastating experiences I've ever faced. Not only did I lose a cherished member of my family, but the lack of transparency and compassion from the vet added an unbearable layer of pain to this already agonizing situation. The procedure was meant to be routine, something that countless pets go through without any issues. Yet, when I received the devastating news of my dog's passing, the lack of explanation or empathy from the vet was shocking and the complete absence of information about what went wrong left me feeling lost and distressed. I pleaded for details, seeking closure and understanding, but my requests were met with a cold and dismissive attitude. Losing a pet is never easy, but being denied the opportunity to understand what happened or receive any form of compassion from the vet made this loss even more excruciating. A little empathy and communication could have made an immense difference in coping with this tragedy. I hope that in the future, this veterinary clinic considers the emotional turmoil pet owners endure in these situations. Compassion and transparency are as vital as medical expertise in such delicate moments.
