Disgusted, I took my remaining mouse to a vet in my hometown, who charged $40 total for an in-depth assessment and two kinds of medicine - one of which was three doses of the mite pesticide VCA had to \"make\".I don't know how the proprietors expect to continue this kind of gouging service and stay in business, but I would strongly recommend seeking medical care for your pets elsewhere.","rating":1,"date_published":"2009-16-09"},{"author_name":"heather_leigh63","review_text":"I live in Fremont but take my dog and cats to see DR. VICK for everything; I wouldn't trust them with another vet.  The staff is very friendly, and genuinely LOVE animals.  They're full of great information about everything from recommending pet-sitters to what do when you've found a stray.  They also have grooming services available including this water therapy thing (?).  The groomer is AWESOME!  She does a great job, the cost is very reasonable and you can be sure that your pet will be well taken care of.","rating":5,"date_published":"2007-17-08"}]}
