GBGreat Service We love Local Vets! They have allowed us to gain more new clients through their reliable service. One of the biggest benefits I see out of this service, other than the new clients, is the ability to listen to the recorded calls for training. I use this feature all the time to work with my front office staff. I'd definitely recommend this service to any vet hospital!

GBHorrible Company We recently had a potential client wanting to make an appointment with his snake. We do not accept snakes as our patients are dogs, cats and pocket pets. When asked where he found this information he sent us to localvets.com. When contacting the company they say there is nothing they can do as it is their sister company CityGrid's deal but when asking for a phone number they don't have it! Best part when told that wasn't very helpful for a POTENTIAL customer she hung up on me!! Who thinks that is customer service. Will NEVER use there services. Now on to search for CityGrid.

GBLocal vets oldbury Local vets oldbury Wouldn’t even send my pet goldfish there. Staff are rude including the owners. My dog was scanned for 5 puppies on day 44 - at this point they can’t be absorbed. Left my dog there for her c-section at 5:55pm we had to leave as was out of hours to come back and be told she only had 2 pups. None were dead and there was no sacs inside her. I was then allowed to watch the cctv the following day but was told if I watch it I can not return for any other treatment - absolutely fine because I wasn’t going to anyway. When I waited for 20 minutes to see the CCTV I could only see from 7:15pm-7:45pm but was told this is a 2 and a half hour procedure. When I asked consistently how long does it take to sedate them I was ignored every single time. The owners of this place have their own bulldogs which is why they would keep puppies and KC register them off their own dogs. I strongly believe all the staff are also in on this. Will never be returning again!!!

GBOutstanding service. LocalVets.com has always kept us at the top of the internet search page and as a result - the phone ringing. Then, on the back side, the ability to listen to our incoming client calls for protocol and to get a feel of how clients react to our hospital is invaluable,

GBExtortion This company basically tries to buy up all the veterinarian search real estate on the web and sell it back to vets. By being the top listing on the page, someone already aware of your clinic and looking for your phone number ends up finding it on their service and you get charged $50. Most of the calls you get are for current customers and they charge you for the call when long time clients make appointments. If a current client gives a referral to a friend and they find your phone number on veterinarians.com, they charge you the $50 finders fee even though they are not responsible for the referral. You can get some of the charges reversed, but if you don't monitor it closely you will pay a lot of money for current customers calling their tracking number by accident. They are owned by a group that will monitor your presence on the web - so you pay the parent to compete with the subsidiary you are already paying - not a very ethical business model. They also advertise their tracking number on other sites and effectively compete with your free or paid listings on those sites.
