Adopted a 6 month old tortoiseshell kitten. about 6 months later and she’s better than advertised. They website warned she is not good with dogs, when I took her home to meet 2 other cats and a dog she was as social as can be. Took her back to get fixed and the whole process couldn’t have been better.

My fiancé and I adopted a dog where they claimed the dog was good with both cats and dogs within 48 hours of the dog being home it has done bit my full grown dog and our cats. We called saying that we will have to return her and the receptionist got an attitude. Receptionist had no remorse for my dog of five years being bitten because they failed to advertise the dog correctly.

Took my dog in for stomach issues causing vomiting & diarrhea, & and one eye that was bothering her. The vet focused on the eye & said he wasn't worried about the stomach issues & gave her eye drops & said bring her back in two days, & still wasn't worried about the vomiting & diarrhea, even though that was the main reason for the first visit initially & bringing her back because it wasn't better & the vet only focused on cleaning the tear duct in her eye & still said not to worry about the vomiting & diarrhea, even after being told she wouldn't eat, & barely drinking. He is a poor excuse for a veterinarian & poor excuse of a veterinary office. It's 100% a money game with 2 visits totaling over $500 & both visits combined were less than 30 minutes. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE for anything. They Do Not care about your animals & will not give them the care they need or deserve.

We adopted a dog form the Vulcan Animal Clinic and they were clearly awful to the dog. Someone had found her on the side of the road, the clinic kept her for a few weeks to see if her owner showed up. We adopted her after she'd been in their care for 2 weeks. When we brought her home she had so much matted hair that her body was a different shape and she had a obvious skin infection. They clearly didn’t take care of her. In addition, they charged us an adoption fee that included getting her fixed. They opened her up and they advised us that she had already been spayed. Weeks later she started bleeding. We took her to our normal vet and they found that she’d never been fixed so we had to pay for another surgery and she had to go through all of that again. We called and emailed the clinic to let them know of their mistake and never got a response back. Our regular vet told us that we should report Vulcan Animal Clinic to State Veterinary Board as they were clearly neglecting the dog while she was in their care and they showed gross incompetence when it came to the surgery. We will be doing this. I cannot recommend avoiding this place enough! If I could give it a 0 star rating I would.
