Devonshire Animal Hospital Of Chatsworth

would never recommend this vet to anyone. I goal is to see them out of business FOREVER. I took my dog in for a spay on March 27th 2008. I was given this dog by a family that was getting foreclosed on. I had the dog checked out and told the vet i was told she was 5 years old. At her pre-op inspection the vet never question my guess of her age. When I picked her up from the spay the doctor said she was old at about 8 or 9. I was furious to wonder why this only now after the surgery was that brought to my attention and that maybe had they called me ahead and said it would be a difficult recovery I would have opted not have it done. later that night she wasn't eating or drinking. I called the vet the following morning and they stated if no improvement I would have to bring my almost 100lb dog in for fluids and pain shot. We took her in and they came to my car and gave her fluids and pain shot (this is Friday). Come Saturday she still wasn't eating or drinking. My concerns grew. We again took her in for more fluids. She still wasn't eating and even refused baby food. Our first sign of hope came Sunday afternoon where we got her to eat a small bone. Monday morning at 5AM she took her last breath. It was clear by the swelling and temperature of her belly she had an internal infection. No antibiotics were giving to me at any time. My family was heart broken. When we took her to the vet on Monday morning to show them what they had done they tried to charge us $1 per pound to dispose of her treating us like she was trash and waste. They have cold hearts and should no longer be able to practice medicine. Dr. Fahmy killed my dog and didn't take our concerns for real. more

My dog got into the chocolate left out by my two year old today and I called all around. I couldn't get an appointment anywhere, and the emergency vets I called refused to give any info over the phone and wanted too much money for an emergency. I called Devonshire animal Hospital and the girl sho answered the phone actually was a tech and gave me great advice over the phone and was so understanding and sweet. She squeezed me in between two other appointments and told me how to induce vomiting over the phone. I went in and the docotr was so nice (Dr. Fahmy). He took the time to help me and I was amazed at the prices. I will definately go back there and recommend this place to all of you. more

Back in February of '01, my elderly cat (who I had since I was a young girl) developed a huge mass in the site of a leg break she suffered years earlier. My aunt (who has used this doctor for well over a decade) recommended me to Dr. Deam. I called and got his advice over the phone about my cat's condition. Being that she was nearly 18, he said the best I could do would be to keep her as comfortable as possible until she seemed like she was in pain. Almost exactly a month later, my worst fears became reality. My cat was dying, and I had to take her to be put to sleep. I brought her in, the doctor was very calm, and gave me as much time with her alone as I needed after he injected her. Very shortly after this happened, I received a card from the vet's office. It was a very nice card sent by Dr. Deam, that was personalized. I have it saved in a scrap book I made of my cat. I did since get two cats (mother and daughter), and have taken them in to see Dr. Deam for their shots. And never have had any problems there. And my aunt still uses his services religiously. more
