Hello everyone!

So long, long story short: my 7 month old pup ended up having to stay 3 nights in a vet emergency clinic (my regular vet was closed for a conference). Each night I went to visit her, she was brought to me covered in her own waste. I addressed this issue and concern with the staff and vets, but nothing changed. Obviously, I am very disappointed in the care provided, what should I do?

What did you bring her in for?

I would complain. That is a big NO NO is any vet clinic I should hope so. It is their responsibility to be making sure your dog is being let out to go potty and if she does have an accident they are to clean her immediatetly and definitely before you see her.

I would complain for sure. That's a major health risk to have them laying in their waste. I agree with Jennet it's they're responsibility to clean up if their are accidents.

It may be hard at a ER to take them on walks all the time, but once a patient has a bowel movement or urinates, they should be cleaned and should be placed in a different, clean kennel. That is poor back management and a lack of compassion for the patients. I'd contact either the practice manager or the practice owner and complain. If any words are exchanged between you and one of the techs/assistants, document it (write it down, record the convo, something!) so you can bring evidence to back up your claims. I'd even take pictures of your pup as evidence as well. That is considered malpractice.
