I’ve been taking my dog to Dr. Innes since he was nine weeks old. He’s going to be 10 years old in February. During that time my dog has had some illnesses and needed treatment that occurred over a period of months. My opinion of Dr. Innes is that he’s very well educated, thorough, and extremely reliable. I haven’t been left alone concerned about my pet once. His illness has been taken from start to finish with complete competence and care. He’s never hard to reach and has a TRULY great staff. Both friendly and knowledgeable and with a huge amount of patience.
I like Dr. Innes also because he’s didn’t hesitate to offer me hope and help that went a bit beyond what one would expect, offering me a medical treatment that involved a blood donation from his own dog.
With regard to costs, the old saying “you get what you pay for” holds true. My sister had a service dog—yellow lab— she took to a vet close to where she lived in Thousand Oaks and that vet was more costly than Dr. Innes. No vet is inexpensive from what I hear from my groomer and others. Another sister I have lives in CO and the vets there charge just as much. It’s something we have to live with and realize that vets have high costs for products and services to deal with too. Nothing is set up in the animal world like an HMO. Maybe someone should start one.
In closing I would also like to say that I LIKE Dr. Innes. He is obviously more than capable and I feel I’ve done the best for my animal that I possibly could by taking him to Dr. Innes. That’s the bottom line when dealing with a member of the family—-peace of mind about their well being—-PRICELESS!!!!!
