![]() This is a staff-guided walking tour of the sanctuary with some time for quiet herd observation along the way. My regular vet would have included the flush of the wound as part of the visit, and would have not charged extra because I was his last appointment.Join us for staff-led sanctuary tours at RTF’s Lompoc sanctuary headquarters. This week, I noticed another bot fly bite on her back, and proceeded to clean it and remove it myself. I was appalled at his lack of insight and at his robbery of charging me after hour prices when his clinic was open until 7pm. He then charged me an "emergency call" of 75 $ plus 40$ to rinse the already cleaned out wound plus 20$ for antibiotics. To boot, he never diagnosed my dog, asked me if I had seen other bites (should he not do that with the exam he apparently conducted and charged over time for) and then he poured iodine on the open lesion and sent me home with antibiotics (still with no diagnosis or prognosis). The vet who spoke broken English informed me that he was an M D which sounded like "I'm Amadi" It was very difficult to understand the vet present. I had in the meantime, shaved the bitten area, removed what appeared to be a maggot of some sort and had cleaned it with peroxide. The veterinarian told me to bring my dog in to check her. The office was closing at 7pm and I had called at 6:15. I called to make an appointment for my dog who had been bit by what appeared to be a Bot Fly. Will never go back again to "Amadi" vet!

Needless to say we won't be going back there ever again. When my wife arrived at Napa Valley Animal Hospital she was told the appt was cancelled and they wont be accepting our cat for grooming!!I can understand if they didn't want the "hassle" of dealing with inquisitive customers but they should have just told me the previous day, during our conversation, that they wanted to cancel the appt! Or call me or my wife at any point prior to us subjecting our cat to the stress of the ride there!They clearly don't care about the stress they put on our cat nor the inconvenience they subjected us to with the needless early morning ride to their place. I mention she is older and indoor only as its pretty stressful for her to get in the carry bag and in the car. I called B-Pro and they too asked for the last name, when I couldn't provide it and explained why, they told me they couldn't help since many "Debbies" have worked and studied there (it is also a school).Now, my wife had already booked an appt for the next morning so we decided to take our older, indoor cat and just get it done. I asked for a work reference from a previous employer and she said she worked at B-Pro Grooming out of Brampton and to ask for Ginger. I obviously wanted to check some online reviews so she added "the internet doesnt have anything on me". I asked the groomer "Debbie" for her last name and she refused to provide it. My wife called this place to book an appt for cat grooming, after reading some reviews online (half good, half bad) I decided to follow up and speak with the groomer directly to get a sense of her experience.
