I'm glad you feel they euth properly and I guess that's all that matters. As for me, I wouldn't let any of the 4 vets even touch my rodents never mind do my euth's. They "hide" many procedures including simple ones like drawing blood from big dogs with big veins, not something I like in a clinic. Next time your in, ask to see the chamber and see what they say. I started at this clinic approximately 4 years ago and my last visit was the end of May 2012, and honestly, nothing has changed there. (went twice with rats and never returned with any rodents) As for Kingsdale, yes 100% Dr Sowerby likes his money but he's "hard core, old school". He's not interested in talking to you or your pet, he just wants to look at the animal, find the problem and fix it, which he does, within minutes, everytime. Kingsdale is VERY costly, but the combo of the 2 current vets makes this practise exceptional. Dr Boultbee (just bought the practise) is young with all the up to date veterinary medicine and Dr Sowerby is old with many many years of hands on experience. Combine the two and you get superior animal care.
I too, have 3 different vets and who I visit depends on the issue and what animal requires the care so I understand where your coming from. But make no mistake, my home vet is still the best and on call for me 24/7. The best vet burns the biggest hole in my pocket which brings me back to......you get what you pay for. I highly recommend people do NOT go to Legallais for any exotic.
