In the past, i have been a regular client of Richmond Vets. This is because it seemed to be the cheaper option for care for all my animals - as they weren\'t insured.
Recently, my 9 week old puppy - Alfie, had been throwing up and having bad diarrhea, which is pretty serious for a puppy that small.

My mum decided to take him to the vet - and took a sample of his stool (which had traces of blood in it) for tests. However, the vet told my mum testing the stool would not be \'neccesary\'. Not only did they NOT test his stool, they did NOT check his temperature.
They blamed his illness on - change of diet.
A bit extreme for a 9 week old puppy with bloody feces and vomitting regularly, the vet also knew he did not have any injections - and could not carry any out because he had diarrhea.

However as the day and night progressed, Alfie got rapidly worse - to a point where his tail stopped wagging and he looked blank.
My mum took him back to the vet - Calder, for a second opinion - only to discover he was badly dehydrated, and he was promptly put on IV drips.
Then the worse news followed - he had Parvo. Which is a DEADLY disease for puppies, and leaves him fighting for his life - with 50% chance.
If this had been spotted earlier by Richmond, they could have done something THEN - rather then letting it progress.

Luckily we got Alfie just before he started vomitting BLOOD.

A few year ago, my cat Melvin was in a serious accident - presumably attacked by a dog. He had a broken jaw, amongst over serious injuries.
After his stay in the vet, they sent him home - with no guidance or aftercare instructions.
Melvin could not eat with a broken jaw, obviously. If we didn\'t act soon, he would have starved.
So we used our own iniative and fed him mushed up food through a SYRINGE.

I have heard other stories about the care at richmond vet - so these are not isolated cases.
I have now learnt from my experiences with Richmond, the cost of PROPER CARE and looking after your pet, is never too much.
