She was told that the $300 fee was to cover the cost of euthanasia and cremation.
MY FRIEND WAS TOLD THAT THESE WERE THE "ONLY" TWO CHOICES SHE HAD AND THAT THEY WERE NON NEGOTIABLE.
ps: If anyone should know the name of the hedge fund investor they are blaming their policy on, please let others know.
My friend, who is a full time dog rescue person, told the vet that it would be difficult to come up with $1000 or more all at once at this time.
The vet gave my friend two choices.
BE WARNED : THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU
Brought my three month old miniature Golden Doodle for his first check-up and the staff couldn't have been more caring. Even when Charlie didn't want to cooperate they were kind and patient with him. Great business
WHEN MY FRIEND QUESTIONED THE ETHICS AND REASONING FOR SUCH A POLICY, SHE WAS TOLD THAT THE PRINCIPLE INVESTOR IN THEIR VETERINARY GROUP WAS A CORPORATION OWNED BY A HEDGE FUND AND THAT SOUTH WILTON WAS A BOTTOM LINE MONEY BUSINESS.
Beautiful facility and caring staff. I feel a strong sense of community when coming into the office
Choice one was to pay the full amount up front.
They promised to not change patient care or client interactions when they purchased our practice. However, they refuse to pay our staff comparable wages for our city and have cut our staffs hours to less than 40 hours per week to avoid paying those who are willing to stay an extra 10 minutes to provide exemplary care and service. As a result, we are so understaffed that patients are suffering, clients are angry and more of our excellent employees quit each week. In addition, their demands to change our prices and continually increase them has led clients to refuse medications and treatments for their pets. If you are considering selling your practice to PetVet Care Centers, please reconsider. Over the past year, I have watched too many people and animals suffer because their only interest is how much profit they can make.
Extremely talented and kind staff, we had a wonderful experience.
THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.
The South Wilton Vet Group in Wilton, CT is owned by the PetVet Corporation.
Choice two was to SURRENDER OWNERSHIP of her pet bird, which she had had for 7 years. In addition, she would have to pay $300 to the South Wilton Veterinary Group.
My friend brought her bleeding parakeet to South Wilton a few weeks ago. She was told by the vet that they would do their best to save the bird but that it would cost $1000 and possibly more.
