Animal Pet Hospital are great and it's easy to see that every single
person that works there absolutely loves animals and loves what they do
for a living! I now have a basset hound, Zues, that I have recently
adopted from the Pound. He is 6 months old and just got neutered today.
The staff took great care of him, and even spoiled him rotten with
behind-the-ear-rubs all day. I choose them for my dog because they
euthenized our beloved pet rat, Sally. A lot of people hate rats and
only buy them for snake food. But, our pet rat meant the world to us.
Unfortunately, she developed a very large tumor and couldn't walk very
well. I chose a vet close to my home to put her to sleep. A few days
later, I received a sympathy card signed by the whole staff. I don't
think any other animal hospital could top that. Dr. Stephanie Wesely and

sonograms to chem panels to EKG, etc., etc. Will is very good about
consulting with other vets, vet schools, whatever resources he can if he
has questions. He also does his own emergency calls. Gardendale is in

diseases caught in Africa to routine check-ups to recently, helping me
deal with an unfriendly surgeon who operated on one of my furkids in an
emergency situation. Dr. Tammy loves bassets and everytime she sees one,
immediately bends down to get licked all over the face. My furkids love
going to her. She works in a small town outside of Ames, IA, but is
often booked days or weeks in advance since people from all over the
area travel to her clinic. She is reknowned for friendliness, compassion
and competence.  I have since moved to the east coast, but I still try

since I moved to the area 15 years ago. He'd been my basset hound, Bo's
vet for 10 1/2 years. He got Bo through 3 chocolate binges, an attack of
pancretis, and finally......he helped Bo through the stages of an
aggressive cancer. How do you explain how good a vet is......when he was
dealing with a dog who never, never expressed pain...not a whelp or even
a pout. Bo was had to have been in serious pain before he was diagnosed
with cancer......but never ever let on........and still Dr. Cole really
observed and listened to his patient. Dr. Cole was also there for us
when we decided to get another basset....he talked to us very frankly
and with such care. Dr. Cole is a true gem for any animal..especially
the stubborn and often silly basset hound. Dr. Michael Shumer|Monument

taking care of our Bassets for over 10 years and our Afghans for over 12
years, they certainly know their hounds and we wouldn't trust our guys
to any one else. They have been used in the St. Petersburg Times vet
advice column, and have been featured on a TV show regarding emergency

developed Immune Deficiency Syndrome after he received his annual
vaccinations (From another vet). Within months, he was dying..and so
were our hearts. He suffered from chronic pneumonia and every bug that
came along. We sought out Vet Schools in Florida and New York and all
between searching for a Vet who could help. Everyone wrote him off and
prepared us to lose him. Oscar was losing weight fast and begged us to
help him with those soulful Bassett eyes. Then our groomer suggested Dr.
P.C. Hightman DVM of Brentwood Animal Clinic 4605 Brentwood Avenue,
Jacksonville, Florida 32206. Phone: (904) 354-0547. Dr. Hightman
combines western Vet medicine (University of Florida grad) with eastern
thought (Chinese herbs, holistic practice and acupuncture). Yes, we were
skeptical too...but believe us... this vet saved our Bassett's life! In
a few very short weeks, our "Oscar" was on his way back to us. Bright
eyes, healed lungs, boosted immune system, happy dog. That was two years
ago and we are so grateful to have our Oscar as part of our family. Dr.
Hightman continues to amaze us. We meet pet-owners from Georgia who
drive to Jacksonville for this special vet's care. When Oscar was so
very sick, I left messages on many boards trying to find someone who
knew of a vet to help us. I'm glad to post this note now. We have our
dog-child Oscar back and we are cheerleaders for this wonderful vet and
his skill! Dr. Dennis Oyer|Coral Vet Clinic|9540 Cypress Lake Dr|Ft.

only have a few bassets in their practice , but she knows a great deal
about them. Her and her staff are so kind, and make over the dogs so
much, that our pup has no fears about going in. They are very gentle
with the dogs, and have lots of time to answer questions, give
demonstrations on how to do things, and just love what they do in
general. Their prices are very reasonable too, they do it for the
animals, not for the money. I would recommend them to anyone. We just
moved almost 30 minutes from Dr. Brough, (we used to live 5 minutes from
her office) but we continue to take Daisy there, because we just can't
bring ourselves to trust anyone else. Dr. Lisa White|Parkway Animal

When we painfully had to put our little girl basset, Bessie, to sleep
from cancer March 17, they did everything they could for her and more.
They even made a $ donation in her name to The Ohio Animal Health
Foundation for improving the length and quality of life for companion
animals. I do not know if they do this for all their clients that pass,
but we had become a special team with them in her care and the care of
my other two bassets...Roosevelt and Hoover. I would recommend them to
anyone with a pet, not just the bassets. The have a no hit

owned by the same people, just different veterinarians at each facility:
Animal Care Center at Mill Run, and the Animal Care Center at Cherry

to the central Ohio area are taken to this veterinary facility. This is
a kind, affectionate group of people. Aside from the veterinary
facility, there also is a grooming facility and boarding kennel all
within the same building. OBR has used them for both grooming and
boarding as well. This is a first rate facility from the veterinarians,
to the technicians, down to the kennel staff. Everyone there is very
familiar with rescue work and supports the cause. At Christmas time I
added them to the hero list, they received so many cards from daily
droolers that people started to ask them if they were a basset vet only.

them and us with the utmost respect. They also have two other facilities
in central Ohio that are owned by the same people, just different

experience with our vet in a not so great situation. Dr. Emily
Coatney-Smith has been a great relief to us. We had a huge water leak in
our apartment that made our basset sick. She caught the enlarged spleen
when we took him in for an infected paw. She later found problems with
his lungs and an enlarged heart. She has called us every day to check on
him, she even had someone swab our apartment for a testing lab and sent
it so that we can bring charges up against our landlord. Sherlock just
had his spleen taken out this week. Dr. Emily knew we missed him and
released him early with careful instructions. She calls twice a day to
check on him. This woman is a saint when it comes to bassets. And

but being from WV, I happened to look at the WV basset-nominated vets
one day & saw his name. My father lives in WV and ironically enough
takes his Pointer to Dr. Yurko. I live in MD, but when my basset had
problems with his back legs & my vet here kept dismissing it as nothing,
I called Dr. Yurko since he knows my father. And he was nice enough to
go out of his way & give a possible diagnosis and remedy for Tex. Sure
enough within a week, Tex was cured of his lameness, all because a man
I'd never 400 miles away cares enough about bassets to help out! Dr.

Northrop treats all breeds of dogs, however she is very knowledgable
about basset hounds due to growing up and raising many of them. She is
extremely compassionate as are all the others. Of all the years of
owning animals, I have never recalled any other animal hospital be so
wonderful with dogs. they take there time with treating your pet and are
always very thorough with explaining things to you. the best thing about
marlton animal hospital, is that they greet your pet in the waiting room
with a big smile and come and get them as if they are coming out to get
a human in an actual doctors office. secondly, I think it is absolutely
wonderful that they get down on the floor with your pet and not place
them on the table. they will if necessary, but by not doing this and a
quick exam it makes the overall experiece for your pet a lot less
stressful. my vet could see my dog was terrified so what she did to ease
his stress was sit on the floor and temp him with treat so she could
form a trusting bond with him. eventually that did take place and he
aloud her to exam him without a mussle which is a first ever for him.

times when I couldn't find answers here. Jake, my basset, loved to go
there. When we got to door his tail would be wagging away. When we
walked in, he headed right behind the counter looking for the love and
bellyrubs that he knew he was sure to get. Our "kids" were always
treated with caring and compassion. We would highly recommend Dr. Smith
and her crew to anyone. Please note that Dr. Smith has moved and is no
longer at the address given in your listing. We took our limping Basset
to her and found her much more attune to his problem thatn our regular
vet who is wonderful with our cats, but just not aware of Basset special

Gretta for several years. Max has had two bouts of pancretitus (sp?) and
recovered from near death. Both of these gentlemen have owned bassets
fore years so their expertise is wonderful. In fact the entire staff
dotes on our seniors. By the way Gretta has just lost a toe because of a
malignancy. Dr. Bob caught this early enough that she didn't lose a
foot. Basset problems weve found are ears, eyes(cataracts) weight, and
pancreatitis  For ear problems we've used a mix of 3/4parts alcohol and
1/4 part vineagar. Both dogs recognize the bottle but understand that
after 2 or 3 days of ministration they feel alot better. Sometimes their
symptoms appear as red eyes. Allergies abound for these hounds so do not
ignore any symptoms. In general, we've found that Bassets like most
hounds, are sustained by love; food is just an ammendment (re M.
Stewart) to the sustenance of their lives. |Century Aminal Clinic

of(Basset)Hounds for their health problems etc. We cannot always get

guys....They see probably 95% of Cascadia Basset Rescue's dogs, as well
as my personal dogs. They are generous with time and advice, on the
phone or in person. They are also extremely generous to rescue,
discounting services for foster dogs substantially.<br><br>They are,
basically, an basic veterinary practice. Some things, like ultrasounds,
etc...have to be referred out. This helps them keep their costs lower,
since their overhead is lower. There is an excellent, full service
critical care clinic that provides these additional services only a few
miles away. They are spendy, but good when you need them - it's the
Puget Sound Pet Pavilion.<br><br>For everyday vet care, including
surgeries, and emergency care as well as exams, diagnostics, etc...I
can't say enough good things about Edgewood....<br><br>They are also
reasonable in terms of recommending cost effective treatments first, and
only stepping up to the "big guns" if the basic treatment doesn't work.

walked out of a cage and into my heart and joined me and my other
