Several days after my small dog had emergency surgery to place a shunt in her neck and received several staples to treat a dog bite, I arranged to board her with All About Animals in Carrollton Georgia (vet: Luke Lipham) for follow-up care, treatment, and to have the shunt removed. She was boarded for two and a half days. I was completely appalled when I went to pick her up and learned that she had not received any medical treatment while being boarded. At first the clinic attempted to cover-up their error by removing the shunt at the time of her discharge and claiming she had received the appropriate medication (antibiotics, pain medicine) throughout her stay. After demanding to see her chart, the clinic staff admitted that they had put her chart in the wrong location and had not medically treated her throughout the entire time she was boarded. This was a dog with an Elizabeth collar, a large tube through the middle of her throat, and several staples atop her head and below her neck–and she received received absolutely no medical treatment while she was boarded for two and a half days! The vet–who walked by several times during my complaint to the staff–said nothing and did not address this considerable act of malfeasance and neglect. I do not recommend this clinic to anyone who expects–at a minimum–moderate care for their animal. If you are looking for a staff who is competent, caring, and attentive, this is not the clinic to use.
