BEWARE! 3/5/2010

Dr Kris Anderson does not know vet medicine from a hole in the ground. I adopted a dog from the SPCA. They are suppose to cover some vet cost up to 14 days of adoption. She happened to be ill (kennel cough) ~ he tried to sell me every test he could think of that was not covered and tried to charge me for one that was then claimed ignorance as to the policy saying SPCA must have added that one. SPCA said they didn't change any policy. He sounded like he was trying to sell me something so I opted out for the additional tests ~ got a second opinion (at my cost) and it turns out she has kennel cough. No need for full blood panel and full body x-ray. Any lay-man could have diagnosed it as kennel cough! He even did the trachea pinch ~ if a dog coughs it is kennel cough ~ she coughed. But he proceeded to tell me he felt that her intestines are twisted. He didn't listen to one word I said. He just sneered at me. He never even consoled my very timid nervous pooch. Money grubbing thief. Trying to take advantage of a person's love. C'mon! He also tried to convince me that rescuing a pet from the SPCA was a bad idea. He told me that you are taking a huge risk. He said SPCA doesn't screen their animals and a pet rescued from their can have serious diseases. He is suppose to be sponsoring pet adoption!!! Of course I did call the SPCA and told them this information. They are not too happy. He was just a salesman disguised as a vet. My dog is still suppose to be covered for her upper respiratory infection but I am going to another vet. Even if I have to pay. I wouldn't trust my pet rock to these salesmen! Pros: Good location Cons: they are salesmen! more
