Allred John A DVM

Had a horrible experience here and have never returned. I was referred by Patchwork Pet Resort (who I do like).
As someone who has been involved in the rescue business for years, I’m very familiar with what vet offices should provide in terms of service. Despite documentation of current vaccinations, Dr. Allred decided to revaccinate my basset hound for rabies. That’s problematic because overvaccination with rabies can lead to bone cancer – which bassets as a breed are already more prone too.
Even if the rabies issues was just an oversight, there were several other issues as well that ultimately led me to just never return. The front desk staff was super irritating and unsympathetic to my concerns. The vet mocked me when I asked for blood titer tests prior to revaccination. The entire experience was less than desirable. And the least of the concerns was that they performed a hack job on my basset’s nails – the nails were clearly hacked off with regular nail clippers (and still bleeding) even though that particular dog needs a dremel instead due to severe anxiety issues (they had promised me they would use the dremel). If they can’t even makes the nails look polished and even – or live up to promises they made, I can’t trust them to be my regular vet.
My dog was traumatized after coming home from them. That particular dog will not pee on concrete (housetrained too well) and they did not let him out all day. He peed for almost two minutes straight as soon as I got him out the front door. Shortly after, he developed a UTI which another vet quickly solved.
Too bad. They lost out on $ 4000 worth of veterinary services in the following 12 months (and a lot more in the future). I have a lot of rescue animals coming in and out of my doors. I highly advise you do not take your dog here unless you literally don’t care what happens to your animal. This vet has a «vet knows best» mentality and will lie to your face in order to get your dog in the door.
