Do you know how much I love LaCroix? I have moved away from the area and now have a weekend home at WB. I plan my trips back to town around the vet visits! I have been using this vet hospital for nine years and love, love, love them! The techs are excellent with my dogs and I highly trust the vets. I "shopped around" and found them to be a good value too...especially compared to where I live now. Hence I won't leave them...even though I live hours away!!

I went in because my cat had worms and fleas, and I just wanted to get medicine for her. I made an appointment and they didn't even want to hear why I was scheduling a visit, all they cared about was his past medical history. When I showed up, they still didn't ask, and I tried telling them and they said "we would've found out anyway." Then, before they would just give him the medicine, they snuck in two vaccinations that he didn't need because he's an inside cat: distemper and rabies, and the distemper one has a second shot that you have to schedule another visit and go back for. And THEN they did unnecessary tests on him for feline leukemia, and charged me for that as well. This entire visit cost me $150, and would've cost $190 if I had not had a coupon. They are just trying to get your money and scam you, don't trust them with your pet. I will be taking my cat somewhere else from now on.

My husband and I found a little stray male cat. We planned to have him neutered and get his shots on payday and make him part of our family. He had fleas and ear mites so my husband stopped at the Lacroix Veterinary Clinic to purchase a tube of Revolution. The woman at the front desk said they didn't sell Revolution over the counter. The cat would have to be seen by a vet to get it. My husband asked if there was anything that they did sell over the counter for fleas or could she recommend anything as we couldn't afford to see the vet until the end of the month. Her recommendation was that we find the cat a better home since we were unwilling to give him the proper care. My husband thought he'd heard her wrong and asked her to repeat what she'd said. She told him he was unfit to have an animal and that he should find the cat a better home. A patient in the waiting room gasped in disbelief when she heard the woman say this. My husband said that he would be using another vet in the future and left. He'd given his name when he came in and our info was in their computer. She called Animal control, reported us for animal abuse and neglect and we are now facing $300 in fines and were given 72 hours to get the little stray neutered, get his shots and have him treated for fleas and ear mites or all our cats (we have four old cats who used to be strays) would be taken from our home and we could be facing more fines and possible jail time. The Lacroix staff have destroyed this family financially and emotionally for no reason.

Twice as expensive and insisted on unneeded services. Double charged for things - gave conflicted info on return visits and always needed "more test" - wanted to charge twice as much as vet I transfered to for a simple procedure.
