Westford Veterinary Emergency and Referral Center, LLC Unethical Business Practices Westford Massachusetts

 Stay away from these criminals at all costs. We brought our cat there after she vomited for several days in a row. Because of a previous poor experience with a vet she is traumatized by being brought in. Therefore, she needed to be sedated. She was diagnosed with a simple bladder infection and was prescribed antibiotics. THE VISIT COST US OVER $1,000. She was doing extremely well at the end of the course of the antibiotics treatment. Unfortunately, a couple days after the treatment ended she began to present with the exact same symptoms. Of course a Fifth Grader would know it was because not all of the bacteria were killed off with the first course of antibiotics and simply extending the treatment is the proper immediate protocol. However, as a result of this company's greed they would not simply extend the antibiotic treatment unless I brought our cat back in. They wanted to see her again so they could charge me for another visit and sedating again, all while traumatizing her a second time which would undoubtedly end in a prescription for another round of antibiotics. They are well aware of this but refuse to simply extend the treatment without a visit so they can continue to run up the already ridiculous tab. Do not trust these absolute scum bags with your pet. There are other emergency animal hospitals in the area that are far more reputable.
