Dugan Equine Veterinary Hospital

Four years ago, my horse got caught up in a beaver dam and could not bear weight on his back leg. My vet was out of town so I used Dr. Dugan. I had used him in the past and was happy with the service. His initial thoughts were that my 4 year old had ruptured his tendon sheath with a stick from the beaver dam. He told me that if that were the case, we would need to put him down, and that an ultrasound would be the most helful in determining that. Over the next four weeks, Dr. Dugan was out several times, charged me a small fortune each time, never performed an ultrasound, didn't look at the other injuries that my horse suffered, and was very unprofessional on one of the visits. My horse did not survive that injury, and by the time my regular vet was back, his other foot had started to founder. She ultrasounded him, confirmed the rupture from 4 weeks prior, and we put him down. Fast forward - Dr. Dugan is at my house performing a pre purchase exam. I asked him to administer vaccines to our new equine. A couple months later (on a Friday) I asked him to provide proof of vaccine becuase I had misplaced the recipt and we needed it for a show that I was hauling out to that day. His response - call the office on Tuesday. After the show. After the vaccine proof was needed. I will not recommend this clinic, due to the lack of professionalism I encountered on both occassions, and the lack of concern for my injured horse. Seems like the multiple bills were more important than the care of the hose.

We really appreciate Dr.Dugan and staff,not only for there kindness and professionalism , but their genuine concern and love of animals .(especially Tolerance Of the 2 leg kind have been there' for use every time I needed them . Words
