Vetco Vaccination Clinic

I tried Vetco (Petco) vaccination clinics for the first time today with my dog and my cat. I love my vet and take my pets there if we have a problem but vaccinations at my vet are just too expensive. I had previously been a pretty loyal Shotvet customer which is PetSmart's vaccination clinic. After our appointment today at Petco... I will tell you that Vetco is SO MUCH BETTER!! We went to the Sturdevant, WI location. First off, it's much easier to book an appointment with Vetco vs. Shotvet. There are more available days and times which is way more convenient. The girl who checked us in as well as the vet tech and the vet were very professional, incredibly friendly, super informative and knowledgeable. They talked to me about other options for my dog's flea/tick and heartworm meds than the ones that I use and pointed out that these other options would save me some money. They pointed out a benign tumor in my dog's ear that I knew about but could easily have been unaware of. I really appreciated the extra time they took to talk to me about those things. They also asked if I had other veterinary concerns with my pets. I did not, but it's nice they take the time to answer questions or listen to concerns that are non-vaccine related. Shotvet did not show this level of concern for my pet, though they are quick and efficient. Vetco goes above and beyond in my opinion. I was really happy with my experience today and will absolutely continue to do my vaccine appointments with Vetco from now on.

I went to this clinic because I could get the vaccination I needed without being charged for an office visit at my regular vet. I had to wait over an hour because there were 15ppl ahead of me. I told them my puppy just needed his first rabies shot and that I needed it before starting his 1st class the next day. After waiting and getting the shot, they informed me I would have to log onto a website to access the actual shot records. I received nothing but a rabies tag and a slip to bring to the register that didn’t even specify what type of vet services I received. The website says that records may not be available right away. It’s been 3 weeks and I still cannot get any records, and was dropped from his class. Wish they would have told me I wouldn’t get proof of vaccination for weeks to come, especially as I told the vet tech why I was there at check in, then waited over an hr. A vet office visit would have been worth avoiding this headache. You’re forewarned. Avoid this clinic if you need records right away. Hopefully I eventually get them...

Unfortunately the clinic did not have the vaccine needed for our puppies. Went through the pre appointment screening and upon arrival were informed they had "run out" and can return following week. Would have preferred to be informed ahead of time. It was a wasted trip.

The only negative part of the appointment was getting several reminders. You must have alot of people make appointments and not show up.

I felt like they cared about my puppy and wanted to do what I came for.
