Hastings Amy DVM

I am a pediatric nurse but started my medical career as a vet tech some years ago. I won’t tell you where you should or shouldn’t take your pet. However, I will tell you what happened to my son’s dog this past week. My son took his dog in for a routine arthritis shot. He was asked if he takes his dog to the groomer and when he said yes was told by Dr. Hastings a rabies vaccine was required by groomers. That’s true, it is. Instead of confirming my son wanted this done they arbitrarily administered it as well as a distemper/Parvo combo he was unaware was being administered. He was told after the fact this had been done. 24 hours later his dog could barely walk, was experiencing seizures, vomiting, diarrhea and foaming at the mouth. He called to tell them he needed a rundown of everything that was done to his dog because something was wrong. The individual on the phone was immediately rude and defensive and implied they wouldn’t know if there would be a charge for a return visit until they assessed the dog again. It was only when he pushed back they said there would be no charge. When he returned they thought his dog might have a urinary tract infection. If this was so it was what, in healthcare, we refer to as an “opportunist” infection, one that sees an opportunity to grow unchecked when the immune system is under attack by so many other things because his symptoms began almost immediately after visiting the clinic. He was a happy pup prior to being given the vaccinations by Dr. Hastings. We got no more than one dose of the medication they sent him home with into the poor little guy because he was throwing everything up. By Sunday poor little pup had passed away. We brought his dog in for cremation and they charged him for that service as well. Does that seem remotely right to you? So please read this review and then decide whether Kinslow is the clinic and Amy Hastings is the veterinarian for your pet.

3/24/23 To this day i’ve heard nothing from Hastings Amy DVM. Animal control informed me they sent her a complaint over the attack and last I spoke with them she had not responded to them. I reported it to animal control right after the attack, but only after stopping at her home and calling her Vet practice and getting no response. My point posting this is that I believe apologizing and offering to replace the livestock her dogs killed or to offer her vet skills to assist with the injured animals would have been something a kind or responsible person would have done. i would have removed this review and not added to it for just a simple apology. Original review: I have not met Amy Hastings even though she a neighbor. Ive just recently moved in and met her dogs. They break loose and run in a pack. One pair of neighbors who take walks carries a club because of them. Yesterday they went onto another neighbors porch after his cats. Today they tore through my back yard. Grabbed two chickens and just kept going. I found one injured in the woods.. the other they took. Nobody at her home, that includes the dogs, they are still loose. Its a pretty horrible experience to say the least. A veterinarian that allows her own dogs to continually get lose and wreak havoc… seriously unconscionable in my opinion.
