Poor, will take your $$ over and over
by micocon
Don't go. This place did constant "guess work" to try and diagnose my dog. It cost me hundreds and hundreds of dollars, and weeks later, he is still suffering. I never had the same vet twice, always different, always guessing. Don't make the same mistake. Treat your dog well and do your research.
A complete disgrace
by Osotogari1976
I can not begin to express the deepest regret I have for going to Heart Of Chelsea. They took my 9 week old puppy and without any consultation with me began vaccinating him for everything under the sun. Many of these Vaccinations have been proven to cause cancer in dogs and are attributed to many of the illnesses that ruin animals. They are in it for the money only. They want your cash, all of it and in truth they dont give a crp about your dog. I would NEVER refer someone there and I am sad that my poor dog may fall ill one day due to their work. I was overcharged on everything done there and the only thing they want is your money. They wanted him to be neutered when he is a show dog European Dobermann and when I said no they tried explaining to me that a dog having testicles was more prone to cancer. Yeah sure. That may work on these dog stupid individuals that walk through the door but people you need to do your homework and read up on whhat H.O.C doesnt want you know. DO NOT GO HERE FOR ANYTHING.
- Pros: NOne
- Cons: OVER VACCINATION, OVER PRICED RIP OFF
Worst Vet, dont' waste your time listeing to deceptive reviews!!
by city212girl
I usually do not feel compelled to write reviews for businesses. But I was overwhelmed to do so with the violation I felt at this place. I brought my kitten here that I adopted from AC&C in NYC. I came in for a FREE checkup that I was alotted. I was told to bring a stool sample. I now realize this is so they could make some money out of me while I was there. They sampled it, and found NOTHING wrong with it. Yet still perscribed me some medication for her. It was uneccessary, and in my opinion unhealthy to give me pet medicine she did not even need. They told me to give it to her "just in case" she had something. (Even though she has all her vaccinations and is an indoor cat) All in all, I ended up paying over $50 for a FREE checkup when there was nothing wrong with my pet! This place takes deceptive measures to take advantage of you and rob you of every penny they can.
Also, a side note. If you notice there are either glowing reviews of this place, or the miraculous coicendence of being insanely overcharged. Do not believe these "amazing" reviews. They are most likely writtien by employees themselves since they obviously monitor these reviews.
Here is my message to this business' owners, stop spending so much time managing your public relations issues, and actually improve your service for the customers you manage to get inside your doors. Just a tip, it is not good business to violate the customers you actually do have.
I keep receiving reminders in the mail to update my cats shots. I will NEVER give another penny to this disgraceful place.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Overpriced, no disclosure, deceptive
