VCA Animal Hospital Lacey Animal Clinic Frauds---Overpriced---Lies---Unethical Lacey Washington

VCA Lacey Hospital (Lacey Animal Clinic), recently scammed me by not approving a prescription for NexGuard so I could buy it on 1800petmeds.com as it was so much cheaper. $45 per box, plus 1800petmeds gave more discounts if you bought a larger supply, which I was going to buy a year for both of my dogs. Here it is, I live about 70 miles south of VCA in Lacey, WA. I only started using them when I moved to Washington. I've been using them for years as I move a lot for my work. I've used them for over 5 years when I adopted my pets. So I found out the other day when I drove there to get a copy of the prescription so I could email it to petmeds myself as they got a prescription that said my dogs needed an exam prior to approval of the medication and I had already had my pets exam done 3 months ago and paid a lot of money. So when I got there, I asked for a copy as I was mad at 1800petmeds and thought they were lying to me, as VCA kept saying they approved it and sent 1800petmeds the approval. So I get a copy of the fax they sent them and sure enough it said my dogs need an exam first. I tell her why the hell would you send them that and she looked in the computer and said I don't know why, but the doctor is saying you need another exam first. I said well how much more is this going to cost. $59 per dog. I'm like hell no, I paid that 3 months ago, I was about to leave and they said you can still get the prescription here, so I asked the price it was $160 for 6 pills, I asked do you match 1800petmeds and she said no, I was like well I have to buy them, cause I can't wait for an appt for another exam, I scheduled an exam and they couldn't get them in for several weeks. When I got home, I called around and found a local veternarian that charges half the cost, only $20 for exam per dog, the vaccines are half the price and they could get me in a few days later. So I called VCA and told them to cancel the appt, and I'd never use them ever and I would tell the world about their lies and way they do business. Scam to get me to buy from them and not give a prescription. I mean I can get a prescription for my contacts/glasses and then buy from an online retailer. Why not dog presriptions too. So sad...
