I initially had a positive experience with Slade Veterinary when I brought my nine-month-old French bulldog in to be spayed. Earlier this week, I brought my other French bulldog to Slade on both Tuesday and Wednesday for progesterone testing after unexpectedly finding out she was pregnant. I was then scheduled for a follow-up appointment on Thursday at 10 a.m.—a time that was set based on their availability, even though it was not convenient for me and conflicted with a prior obligation I already had at that exact time. Because of that scheduling conflict, I was unable to make the appointment. Given the urgency of my dog nearing labor and needing timely testing, I had no choice but to go to Tufts to ensure she received the care she needed without delay. Up until that point, scheduling had never been an issue. However, after informing Slade that I had gone elsewhere for testing, I was then told there were no appointments available moving forward. This is despite the fact that my dog is expected to go into labor within the next day or two and may require a C-section. I was told there was no availability until after Saturday—which, given the timing, raises serious concerns. To schedule a time that was difficult to accommodate, then offer no flexibility when that time could not be met—especially in a time-sensitive, potentially life-threatening situation—feels not only dismissive, but inhumane. This is not a routine matter; delays in care could directly impact the health and safety of both the mother and her puppy. The sudden lack of availability after I sought care elsewhere is also deeply concerning and raises questions about professionalism and ethical standards. At a minimum, I would have expected some effort to accommodate, assist, or provide continuity of care during such a critical moment. This experience caused unnecessary stress and placed my dog in a more vulnerable position. Based on how this situation was handled, I will not be returning, and I am evaluating my legal options and will moving forward regarding how this was managed and will be contacting the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Veterinary Medicine to raise awareness of the ethics of this establishment.
