Has anyone else had trouble getting a shot at Buffalo Ridge?

An emphatic yes!

When I called for an appointment to take our three dogs in for the shot, I was told I couldn't get an appt. for three weeks.
This was a couple of months ago.
I was furious.
Let me add that we have been clients of Buffalo Ridge for four years and not some fly-by-night dog owner.
I knew that a tech could give the shots and it wouldn't take more than ten minutes for the three of them, if that.

When they told me that was how it was, I vowed never to go back to Buffalo Ridge under any circumstances.
In my mind, there is no excuse for the way I was handled.

We were told by our Vet to keep our dog out of dog parks period as if you want him to pick up something contagious, that is where you'll find it.

Thanks VG.
Our dogs go daily to DDRR, so we'll make it a priority to get the shots to protect them as soon as we arrive in Florida.

We have used Buffalo Ridge since the day they opened their doors.

There was one time they could not get us in the same week and recommended that either one of their other locations could accommodate us.....which we did.
Flu shot in the same week we called to make the appointment.
