Honaker Animal Health, Inc

Mr. Scientist

Today I took my dog to a different vet and I'm honestly disgusted and angry with Honaker Animal Health. It started when oily, scabby, spots started showing up on my dog, they said it was a bacterial infection, gave us special creams and shampoo to use on her. (The shampoo said only to use it once a week.) This didn't help. We took her back and they did more tests, said she had allergies and prescribed allergy shots. Still didn't help. Took her back again, they said she had thyroid issues, and have been giving her thyroid pills.... It's been almost 2 years since I took her for initial appointment, still no change, actually its spreading and uncomfortable for her (it itches and causes her pain). It's heartbreaking to get dirty looks from people when I'm walking my dog and they see those spots on her. I'm a scientist, but I'm not a doctor. I'm only human, and I'm trying my hardest to make her well. So after doing business with Honaker and receiving ineffective treatments, I brought her to a different vet. The new vet immediately said the spots were a symptom of yeast infection and said that the original vet had gave the wrong instructions for the medicated shampoo. The new vet also ran some tests... She's doesn't have any allergies and does not have thyroid issues. After learning this I can't assume anything else other than Honaker Animal Health is incompetent at best and malicious at worst. No other reason I can think of explains this. Especially considering that they KNOWINGLY prescribed medication to an animal who's lab results proved she didn't need it (due to financial constraints I haven't been able to afford it for close to a half a month). I understand that during the pandemic social distancing was a necessity to maintain a healthy environment for workers, however, I believe that even after the pandemic subsided, Honaker Animal Health staff took advantage of the new "stay in car" form of operation and not allowing owners in the examination room (with some specific exceptions) and became complacent. (Masks should still be enforced as a protective measure, if they are truly concerned for their employees and customers). Trying to get as many animals in and out as quickly as possible. To any one with a pet going here, I recommend getting a second opinion, and to double check anything charged to you. To Honaker Animal Health, do better.

So glad we found this place! This office is just what we were looking for. They are friendly, cost efficient and most importantly thoroughly examined our pets. My dogs are not very social but they warmed up and did well considering. Thank you!

Took my son's kitten in right away this morning after he was caught in a raccoon trap with terrible injuries to paws! Had him stable and taken care of so quickly! Great care! Such a blessing!

My cat, Penni, had a UTI. They got her in within 30 mins of my calling as a new patient. Very friendly staff and super quick. She was back home with antibiotics in less than 30 mins. Thank you all so very much for taking such good care of my best fur friend!!!!
