Gast Animal Hospital

I called a couple of days ago to set up an appointment for my cat for a Convenia shot because he is sneezing. This cat does not go outside or get boarded or groomed. The appointment was set for this morning at 8 o’clock. I confirmed that I didn’t need to see the doctor but just needed the Convenia shot for him. When I arrived to check in this morning the young lady advised me that since my cat has not been seen in a while that he would need to be evaluated by the doctor and have current blood work completed. When I asked how much that would cost I was advised that I would also need to have current vaccinations done before the doctor could see him because of state law. My hope of getting a shot of antibiotics for my cat was quickly dashed by the thought of having to spend hundreds of dollars before that shot could be given. I am no stranger to this clinic. I have been a client for 15 years, I have a multiple pet household which makes it challenging on the budget. Dr. Gast knows my situation but today it felt like their only interest was to profit from other services aside from what would be in the best interest of the animal. Very shocked and disappointed at the treatment I received today. It just felt like it was all about the Benjamins!

We have a 16 week Shorkie, Maverick. We decided to come to Gast based on great recommendations from others in the area. With the puppy shots, we have had several visits so far. Every time we are in and out. Today there was a small wait and we received nothing but apologies and Maverick even got a toy! This is great customer service. Not to mention Dr.Gast really knows her stuff and takes her time with our doggo.

Techs and front office staff are great. Female vet not so much. Very disappointed with her approach on handling my dogs testing. She called me to see how my dog was doing and I told her my dog was very lethargic and barely moving after they had put him on a new medication. I told her I stopped the medication and she told me to cuddle him and keep the meds going. She had no clue and thank goodness I listened to my gut and withdrew the med. We are now going to a new animal hospital and they said the dose was way to high for his 12 pound body.

Prices are nuts 500 for blood test and check up taking my dog to illinois would saved 300 indiana is insane

Wife and I love the staff! I reccomend taking your pet there! Very reasonable
