cheap vet?

Ed
I know you want to promote those who pay you but keep it real here!
There are no vets in those listings.
The guy is looking for a vet - so let's assume his pet needs medical care.
So you've directed him to someone who can wash and groom his pet, someone who can relocate it overseas, someone who can sell it a delicious pet cake and some gorgeous accessories and someone who can take its photo.
But no-one who can attend to its medical needs.
If a human asked for details of a doctor in Causeway Bay would you point him / her in the direction of a hairdresser / spa, a removals company, a department store and a photography studio?
Jasponyx, I don't have any recommendations right in the Sogo area but a little further afield, try the following. Both are very supportive of our wonderful animal welfare orgs in HK.
Chris and Nicola's Animal Hospital
G/F, 37 Wing Hing Street, Tin Hau
2570 6048
Dr Hans De Vries, Tai Hang Veterinary Clinic
G/F, 9 Wun Sha Street, Tai Hang
2577 5755

Please do feel free to recommend a vet - I am just drawing attention to the fact that we have some options in our A-Z

Thanks for not removing my post this time Ed.
However, I won't be asking you for a recommendation for a gyno as you might send me to a hairdresser instead. Barbers stopped doubling as surgeons centuries ago!

That's hilarious! I agree with Pumpkin Girl though Ed. So how about starting off with Pets Central as they have a few clinics around Hong Kong. Maybe readers could recommend their vet for listing?

My 6-year old cat died suddenly yesterday at Pets Central in Mongkok. I must say I was quite disappointed with the treatment I received from the support staff.
I know vetrinary clinics are businesses, but it wouldn't kill them to be a little more sensitive to a grieving owner. At any chance they got, they tried to add hidden charges (which I then disputed, eyes swollen) and even tried to make an extra buck by making me pre-pay for my cat's cremation.
Their insensitivity and also their useless and confusing accounting system made the grieving process even worse by having to dispute charges I didn't understand on my bill!
To make matters worse, when I tried to ask a few more follow-up questions about my cat (who died within 2 days of being hospitalised), the impatient nurse answered me with annoyance saying, "your cat has passed anyway, does it really make a difference what your test results were?"
I was too upset to complain at that time, but I will NEVER return to Pets Central. I have 6 cats (now) and they have just lost my business forever.

I would see Dr. Susan at NP, recommended to me by a good friend of mine- never will see anyone else after her- She owned her own clinic before at kowloon area, was well know for kindness. She is not a rip off vet. She will give you plenty of choice and doesn't load you up.
