Today I took my dog Carly to Brookfield Animal Hospital for updated vaccines and to finally investigate her worsening condition of dragging her back legs. She can barely walk at this point, and another veterinarian had previously recommended doing X-rays to determine the cause. When Dr. Dr. Puzycki came into the room, I explained Carly’s symptoms and asked if we could do X-rays. His immediate response was: “If we do the X-ray, can you pay for surgery?” That question felt incredibly inappropriate and unprofessional. I was not asking about surgery or discussing finances at that moment — I was simply trying to follow through on a previous veterinarian’s recommendation to diagnose what is causing my dog’s condition. Whether or not surgery is affordable should not determine whether basic diagnostic testing is done. He also commented that Carly is 9 years old, almost as if her condition should simply be expected because of her age. Meanwhile, her brother is the exact same age and perfectly healthy. Age alone does not mean a dog no longer deserves proper medical attention or investigation into serious symptoms. What was even more concerning is that Carly has developed a very noticeable cyst/mass in one of her eyes since her last visit. I would expect a veterinarian to at least acknowledge it or ask about it, but nothing was mentioned at all. The appointment lasted about 25 minutes, and I left with a bill of $697.11 feeling unheard, dismissed, and extremely disappointed with the level of care and professionalism shown during the visit. After this experience, I will be looking for a new veterinary office and wanted to share this experience with others.

I have been bringing my dogs to this practice for over 30 years. My dogs have always received excellent care. Drs. Dattner and Bogart have supported me through difficult treatment decisions with empathy as well as the information I needed to make the best choice for my dogs.
