  • "I guess the care provided was okay but starting to feel a little suspicious that they still aren’t letting owners inside."
  • "Why is COVID protocol still in place? doesn't make any sense to me, and if I'm paying 300 dollars to get my dog treated, you're damn right I want to be in the same exam room as my dog."
