Selkirk Veterinary Services

Every time I walk into this clinic lately I feel like it’s fronting for a used car dealership. Some of the front desk staff as well as Dr. Klug try to push all sorts of medicine, grooming products, food, and procedures on us. It’s like they’ve been told to up sell as much as possible in order to get a commission. We know our pet’s personality and history better than anyone (as our dog has lived with us her whole life), yet Dr. Klug refuses to listen to us. I will likely be going elsewhere now.

I have been takin...

I have been taking my two dogs to see Dr. Klug for over five years. She is skilled and really cares about dogs. When a friend had to have a dog put down there, she was so empathic. Compared to city vet prices, she is very reasonable. I would, and have, recommended her to every pet owner I know.

Will not be returning....

Dr. Bertie Klug knows very little about dogs. Especially Large breed dogs (I believe she specializes in cats and birds). She can be extremely rude to owners, and when she makes a mistake (Example - re-dressing a broken leg - she placed my dog's cast upside down and backwards causing an infection) she actually blamed MY DOG and said "she must've turned it around somehow". She also talked us into spaying our giant breed girl before she had her first cycle against the contractual agreement we signed with our breeder, stating that it was for the dog's own good. we listened, reluctantly, and sure regretted it afterwards, seeing as that is not advised for giant breed dogs... for many reasons. So in conclusion, the other staff at the office are great, and I cannot say that they are not caring. They love animals, but I can say with confidence that Dr. Klug doesn't know much about large breed dogs. And their prices are definitely high, compared to other vet offices.
