Hope Animal Hospital

I've been going to Hope for years and would never consider taking my bunnies anywhere else. From the staff to Dr. B, they know rabbits! If you're looking for top tier rabbit care, this is the place.

We took our rats here, one rat she had to be put down, she wasn’t given enough sedation before they gave her the shot that euthanizes. As the last shot has to be given into the heart and is extremely painful. She felt it all. The last appointment I took a 3 week old rat to them after rescuing and called in advance to make sure he could be treated without problem. They put flea and tick treatment on him and shortly after he died from it. During the check up, she propped his mouth open with a normal sized speculum/gag and he was screaming because she was being so extremely harsh with him, as well as not having a good handle on him and him flipping out of her hand. The vet is very unprofessional. Each appointment costed $80-$200, our new vet charges $15 for the euthanasia of a rat. I also heard other people being charged extremely high amounts for their cats, dogs and rabbits, I recommend that you start calling around, because this vet and the prices are absolutely horrible. We took our rats here because it was the first vet we came across for our rats. And that 3 week old rat should’ve never had any medications put on him. So watch closely and do your research and maybe get more than one opinion when it comes to an exotic baby. I have three dogs and three rats, I’ve moved around a lot and this is the only vet I didn’t trust with my animals.

Very kind quick and professional

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I brought my mouse there for what I assumed was mites. The nurses and front desk people were all very kind and welcoming. When the doctor came in she barely looked at my mouse and told me it was mites. She then gave me absolutely no instruction for care, sprayed my mouse with something they didn’t tell me what it was and sent me on my way. Obviously he didn’t get better so I made another appointment for them to do the exact same thing but instead tell me to come back next week to for the “mite treatment” with no other care instructions or anything. I had to almost beg for pain med which they didn’t explain how to give to him or what it even was. The doctor stayed in the room maybe 30 seconds a minute each visit and didn’t want to answer any questions or concerns I had. The last time we went they still didn’t want to exam him really or explain anything at all that could be wrong and charged me $250 for a fungal exam and sent me home again. I finally gave up on them and went to KERSTING VETERINARY HOSPITAL which I would recommend a million times more then hope. They had to put my mouse down as they said he didnt get the correct treatment in time for him to live. Overall their staff was very nice and kind to me but their doctor doesn’t seem to care. Will never be going back and sticking with kersting vet for all my pets.

its is good place but every time i would bring my pet rats there they were given medicine that didnt help them and i was even told to put them down. after we went to a different vet and they actually gave us medicine that helped
