They diagnosed one of my puppies with parvo. Charged me $515 for treatment. 1 week later tested my other for it, she was diagnosed negative parvo. They have been kept in a kennel together from day one. They play together. The next morning the dog with so called "parvo" was back up and playing like normal. None of the $515 treatment was used.They told us the one with parvo was prepaid for vaccination as well which seemed kinda strange since considering his diagnosis. I just told my mom last week that I found it kinda fishy that we prepaid for the puppies vaccinations when the diagnosed him with parvo. So we took both dogs back in for their vaccination since they were "prepaid". We asked them when we were leaving if we were good, since no one acknowledged us we figured we were good. So as we about to pull off one of the girls came out to the car and told us we owed another $105.

Dr Strain took over this clinic that was started by his father. His wife works the front desk, and both are genuinely nice folks. He took his time to explain the various vaccinations and their cost/benefit so WE could decide which should be given to our dog. (I didn't even know that there was a $25 rattlesnake vaccine, which is important for us out in the country.) Great people, great practice. I have a new vet.

WATCH YOUR WALLET. MY INITIAL VISIT WITH A NEWLY ADOPTED DOG COST $165 FOR EXAM WITH VACS, $67 FOR HEARTWORM INJECTION AND $73 FOR 3 MONTH FLEA AND TICK MED. THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ADDITIONAL $50 FOR EXAM, AND CREDITED WHEN I COMPLAINED.

THE NEXT DAY I DROPPED OFF STOOL SAMPLE AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED 2 DEWORMER PILLS FOR TAPE AND WHIP WORMS, $120 ($60/PILL).

I THEN ORDERED THROUGH A REPUTABLE ONLINE PHARMACY, “FOSTER AND SMITH”, 2 DRONTAL PLUS PILLS,(DEWORMER),$22/EA, AND ALSO 1 BRAVECTO FLEA, TICK CHEW, (3 MO), $38/EA. THESE REQUIRE PRESC APPROVAL FROM VET. LEX VET CLINIC WOULD NOT APPROVE SAYING I NEEDED TO ORDER THROUGH THEIR ON LINE PHARMACY.

LEX ANIMAL CLINIC TAKES ADVANTAGE OF RESONSIBLE PET OWNERS BY GOUGING THEM WITH HIGH PRICING. THEY CHARGED:

- PRO HEART, (6MO.), HEARTWORM PROTECTION (BY INJECTION) $67. “FOSTER AND SMITH”, HEARTGARD PLUS, (6 M0) $46

-BRAVECTO FLEA, TICK CHEW, (3 MO) $73. “FOSTER AND SMITH”, $38

-TAPE AND WHIP WORM DEWORMER, $60/EA. “FOSTER AND SMITH”, $22/EA

I highly recommend Dr Gilbert and her staff..Dr Gilbert is very personable and knowledge. She has taken care of my two shih tzu's since she bought the practice. I have moved from Lexington to Irmo. I still drive to Lexington, would not consider another vet as long as she is available to care for my to little ones. She is surrounded by courteous and knowlegeable staff..
