Vetting

1

For over 13 years I have taken my dogs to Werner Animal Hospital in Morris Plains. For years they provided good services for typical everyday vetting, shots, worms. However, when it comes to proactive, preventative care for senior dogs I am not comfortable, nor do I agree with their approach. I don't believe they are proactive in recommendations and options for advanced testing. In fact, I had to suggest we schedule the detailed exams and tests for our 13 year old dog Asia. It was from those tests we uncovered she had some serious medical issues. Following the loss of Asia, who in my opinion and following research on her conditions, if we had identified and treated her issues sooner we would have had a much better chance of extending her life. Directly following that experience, our other senior dog was mis-diagnosed of a lump on his leg, and when we took him to another vet, it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumor. I understand its not a perfect world when it comes to health care for animals and humans, especially seniors. But my decision was based on the above experience and my husband and I have found another vet that shares our views on our dog's care. In the past year, my other senior dog has been under the care of another vet, and the frequency of the monitoring and testing is night and day compared to what was provided to our Asia under the care of Werner Animal Hospital. The new vet said that his treatment is standard care for all senior dogs. My husband and I have always been pro-active with our dog's health and were always willing to invest in their preventative care. I am sure you are like me, my pets are my family, so I would not recommend Werner Animal Hospital.
