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.

GBDo not use the one in oldbury ones Do not use the one in oldbury. They are crooks and very rude staff. Who don't like it when you start to question then and also threaten you with court action for leaving bad reviews. The owner I believe is keeping live puppies and saying they've either died during section or there wasn't that many pups when u knew there was. We was told that our girls pup had died. But I believe their was 2 pups not just 1. The lady on reception the manager was so rude to us when I questioned her. And my poor girl was left in an awful state that we had to being her back due to them leaving the after birth inside her. And we was met again by the awful rude manager who warned us we was lucky they was even gonna see my girl again. This was in front of a room full of people. Sadly we lost my girl due to complications they caused. These people should lose their veterinary licence and be closed down. They only look after their mates and also get their family and mates to put fake reviews on Google reviews. And anyone who writes a bad one the manager or the snotty manager then starts on you with the treats.

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,

GBRude I brought my dog into this clinic for the second time, for shots and for his first nail trim. My dog is still a puppy so he still has high energy and is a PitBull, which most know they naturally have high energy. I was rudely told by one of the vets that if I can't control my dog during the nail trim they couldn't trim them there. This was based off his excitement when he saw other dogs and in the exam room he was perfectly calm. Knowing that they handle many different breeds with many different temperaments, I was very offended. I have taken him to a couple other clinics prior and never received this treatment. I was also told that I should be getting him another parvo shot, when he didn't need one, and I had told them that he has also been exposed to another dog that had parvo so I know he wont need it. The same vet that was rude before rolled her eyes at me. I am a young adult and I really don't appreciate the treatment I received from the staff. I am a paying customer, no matter the age, and no customer should be treated with such disrespect. I won't be continuing business with them.

GBYou'd be dumb not to use LocalVets.com You get to customize your own profile by adding content, photos and even videos. The best part is you only pay for the calls that make appointments. If there is a discrepancy with a charge, it is fairly easy to put a call up for a review and be refunded. The site also offers analytics so you can track where profile views and phone calls are coming from as well as listen to the phone calls themselves; each call is recorded. Like I said, you would be dumb not to take advantage of what LocalVets.com has to offer.
