  Iv'e been to this Vet a couple of times now. The staff is nice and typically I don't have to wait long to get in which is great. Once in the waiting room with my dog it may take 5-10 minutes which is also fine. The Vet staff is very good at their job, they are very capable and cared for my dog but they always seem rushed. It's in and out, I paid for a checkup for my dog and the vet checked his ears and told me he was a good looking dog. I don't expect him to tell me everything i mean i know he's a handsome pupper. At least check his joints, temperature, etc if your going to bill me over 80$ for a checkup. That said, just about every time so far there have been hidden costs and poor information sharing with owners in explaining what shots are best to take when. For example, a vet would know and should mention that if you may do doggy daycare he needs his bordetella shot and that if you get it at the same time as other shots it's less expensive. They 'may' not tell you that because they 'may' want you to come back so they can give the dog a shot, a treat and an 80 dollar bill. I understand it's the owners responsibility to know about the health of their dog but let's face it we're no experts. Overall disappointed with hidden costs, Be more upfront with costs Poor transferring of knowledge to pet owners, be the expert

  So far, we enjoy this clinic. We have 5 dogs and unfortunately, 3 are considered seniors at this point. The part I really appreciate about them, is they seem to do everything they can (within reason) in the examination fee. I have been to 2 other vets, and both, charge $70 (they are both 24 hr vets) just for a 5 minute talk, and all exams were charged for. At Elmwood, with the amount of dogs we have, I have seen my oldest one have a bump on her eye. When we were in there with a somewhat of a panic (cancer, losing an eye...) the vet did about 5 tests (since it wasn't busy) and only charged the the examination and the antibiotics. I am not always expecting this phenomenal service and price. I know with the furry kids we have home, we will make vet visits from time to time, and I know it can get expensive. But I'm not a fan of being charged for every little thing you can hit me with. Elmwood vet, so far, seems to understand that people love their pets, even if they aren't millionaires.
