Guilford-Jamestown Veterinary Hospital

I’m writing to share a very concerning experience with my 4-lb teacup Chihuahua. My dog was given a distemper vaccine with Leptospirosis added, as well as an oral Bordetella vaccine. Within about 20 minutes of leaving the clinic, her entire face began to swell severely, which was extremely frightening. Despite her very small size, we were sent home immediately after the vaccination with no observation. When I called another veterinarian I regularly use, I was told that due to her weight and age, multiple vaccines should not have been given at once. The Leptospirosis vaccine, in particular, carries a higher risk of reactions in small dogs, and most veterinarians avoid/ REFUSE giving it to dogs under 10 lbs. When I returned to the clinic upset and concerned, my dog required Benadryl and a

We saw Dr. Drummer today for a wellness check and vaccines for our dog Pearla. The technician and Dr. Drummer were both kind and attentive to Pearla and answered all our questions and concerns. They were patient with Pearla and although she is sometimes skittish she found them to be new friends. When your dog fully trusts the technician or vet to follow them off even after shots you know you found a good practice. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Very unpleasant experience. We had our first well visit scheduled for our 5-month-old kitten with Dr. Barker on 1/14/25 at 4:30 pm. The appointment felt extremely rushed. My concerns were not addressed, and my questions were not answered by the veterinarian. As this was our first visit, I expected more care and attention. When we left the exam room, staff were already mopping and turning off lights. We checked out at 5:06 pm, and the front desk staff was unfriendly and clearly ready to close for the day. The overall atmosphere felt rushed and unwelcoming, which was disappointing. We will not be returning and plan to find another veterinarian to address our kitten’s needs. Side note: the vet tech was kind, patient, and compassionate. She took the time to answer our questions about our ki

just wanted to schedule a check up And an overall health exam for my cat and my dog. I made it clear that my cat had asthma and had been working with another Vet but I’ve moved and would like somewhere closer, I got a phone call this morning asking questions and when I let her know that my cat had asthma and I was trying to find a better way to manage it because the inhaler wasn’t working as well as it used to so maybe he Needed a higher dosage of the medicine I was giving him, etc., the lady on the phone sounded like she did Not care To look further into this Or to let the doctor know what I was telling her. Very unfriendly staff. I did cancel my appointment.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Staff were knowledgeable, approachable, friendly, courteous, and absolutely professional. They made my anxious dog feel right at home! I never in my life saw her so comfortable at an Vet. This was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend this place if you need pet care.
