Animal Health Care Center

I have been with this hospital for over 25yrs. They have always treated me and my pets with the upmost care. Dr Wood has always been so caring and gone out of way to take the best possible care of my pets. The staff has always been kind and thoughtful and there whenever I needed anything. I always recommend them to everyone.

My dog was hit by a bus and badly injured on a Monday and I brought him to this vet for immediate treatment on the following Saturday at 5pm because my regular vet was closed. These bastards at AHCC were also closed! I couldn’t believe it! Is it too much to ask that AHCC be open during our time of need!? While I was placing a nasty note on their door describing my serious displeasure that they closed during a time when we needed help, my dog got loose & was limping round their parking lot, when….. BAM! He was hit by another bus! Now I’m really $@!#%! I mean really, who lets buses into their parking lot especially when they’re closed! God! now I really hate this vet! It’s all their fault! Could I have gone to the ER? NO, who’s got time for that, besides its all AHCC’s fault anyway so they should have to take care of my dog. AHCC was open the next day (Sunday) but we had plans, clearly that wasn’t going to work either. So I did the next most logical thing and brought my dog in that next Friday at 5:57 pm for "immediate" treatment (11 days after he was first injured). He had multiple broken bones and some internal injuries. By this time I was sooo worried that he wouldn’t make it, I told the doc at AHCC to just do whatever it takes to make him better, cost is no object when it comes to the care of MY pets.



After several days in the care of AHCC my dog is on the mend and doing great!



HOWEVER! These bastards at AHCC charged me $27,000,000 … YES!! That’s TWENTY – SEVEN – MILLION – DOLLARS!!.. for the care of my dog!! Yep that’s right, and then they had the audacity to mention that if my dog would have received care sooner, that maybe the cost would have been less! They also charged me for flea medications that were supposedly needed. That’s total BS, I put that Walmart flea preventative on him five years ago as directed, and I just know he didn’t have any fleas. If he did then AHCC put the fleas on him. (I’ve heard that they keep a jar of fleas around just to scam pet owners into buying medications that they clearly don’t need.) Lastly, they said my dog was overdue for vaccines and they charged me for that too! How dare they recommend things that we don’t need. My dog was fully vaccinated when he was a puppy over 9 years ago at his last vet appointment. This is why I hate this vet, bunch of a-holes. Stand up for your rights people. I’m gonna call the Mayor, Governor, My Momma, Walmart, Kmart, Congress, AVMA, & my junior high school counselor, I’m telling EVERYONE! Not that I’m a crappy pet owner, but this pet care facility over charges people for the care they provide! How dare they!! NOW AHCC will be sorry, they just messed with the wrong pet owner!



I'm not the only person complaining about this either. On Yelp you can read about THOUSANDS more unhappy customers where AHCC had an expectation of payment for services rendered. AHCC will tell you that everyone gets an "estimate" that has to be agreed to and signed before they do any work. So what!? This is how they force you to pay your bill after you agree to the estimate. What a scam!! After you help me & my pets I'd rather complain about the cost then throw you under the bus when I don't get everything for free after the fact! Jerks!

This is a great place to take your pets. We needed to get in on a Sunday just before going on vacation last year, they not only got us in but the vet found a tumor on my dog that was apparently missed by my regular vet. I really like the fact that they are now doing nail trims for free because my pets nails are difficult to trim and I hate doing it myself. Their staff is always very friendly and helpful, they're moderately priced, the clinic is beautiful, clean & homelike.

We drive from the other side of Kent to go to this vet, it's a bit of a haul but totally worth it.

My family and I take our pets to AHCC for "tuneups" at least twice a year. We almost left due to a bad experience we had with Dr. Ferguson. We stayed because their staff knows us so well & we have the utmost confidence in Dr. Wood. Everyone that works at AHCC has always been knowledgeable & friendly every time we come in. My only complaint is I wish they were open later during the week. If you're looking for a clean, warm, friendly, competent place to take your pets, AHCC is where we've always taken our pets.

We have been taking our pets to Dr. Wood for a little more than five years now. The AHCC staff is always friendly, and great with my pets. Our little dog Chi-chi just loves Dr. Wood, he behaves better with her than he does at our house. AHCC is a clean, pet friendly facility, they are thorough and fairly priced. We used to go to a different vet, one of those low cost vets, and we didn't have a very good experience. Our pet almost died because apparently they didn't know what they were doing. We were referred to Dr. Wood by our friends and have been happily taking our pets to AHCC ever since. Some of the negative reviews you see on some of these sites are in my opinion, people that are discount shoppers looking for free pet care I guess. With what we've been through, it's been our experience that you totally get what you pay for & we are happy AHCC customers.
