Just wanted a trimming for my large breed bird. They wanted an exam done. I wasn't asking to set up a veterinarian for my animal, just needed a simple service provided. They also asked me to kennel my almost 5 foot long bird to be brought in. I went and bought a dremel and trimmed his beak myself. I now do that as a side gig. 2 stars, I'm making money now trimming bird beaks because they annoyed me enough to do it myself.

The vet techs and vets were nice and cared for my kitten well during the visit, but I wish they were more upfront about their pricing, especially for supplements they pushed on me that I could have bought outside for much cheaper. The front desk staff were also very short with me and I wished I was given the option to look over the invoice before they just stated a price at me and expected me to hand over payment. No one was overtly rude, but it's not always easy to just brush off a pricey vet bill.

I deleted my old review and had to update it after the experiences I've had since that review. My cat got ear mites after I brought her to All Creatures, and then they decided to gaslight me about it. That cat then gave them to my other cat and I've taken them both to other vets and confirmed, it was ear mites. There is no other place they could have gotten them from than All Creatures (my cats are indoor, don't interact with any other pets, and have never had this issue until shortly after I took one for a check up at All Creatures).
I never took my cats back again but decided they were probably still okay for my guines pigs. Well, last time I was there with my guinea pigs, I was told that I could bring them in whenever to get their nails clipped for $16 and didn't need to also have a check up, but apparently that's no longer true, so if I want to get their nails clipped, it's $76 each, wow. I will never be back again with any of my pets, so disappointed. Some of their staff is very rude too, but thats just a small portion of their issues.
