  So i just got home from coming here to have my Senegal Parrot's nails trimmed and I'm so pissed off that I had to Yelp about it immediately. Normally I take Mango to Princevalle Pet Hospital but they only have one bird vet and as a normal person that works 8-5 Monday through Friday the only time I can bring her is on a Saturday. Well if you're lucky enough to fine a Saturday that the vet is working they are booked for months in advance! Any of you that has a bird know that their nails can go from comfortable to hypodermic needles in about a week. So often I am stuck having to deal with her sharp claws for a couple of weeks before I can get an appointment. Well with the holidays going on again I was faced with having to endure my Senegal poking holes in my fingers for about a month before I could get an appointment for a nail trim. So I called around and was told that Gilroy Vet Hospital would do the nail trim. Yippee. When I booked the appointment the scheduler suggested 8am. Huh? No way am I getting up that early on my day off. So I asked for something later and she said okay 9. That was still a bit early for me but oh well. Now I don't know if it's a thing with vet's but I don't think I've ever been seen on time for an appointment. Princevalle ALWAYS makes me wait about 15 mintues before being seen. Gilroy Vet Hospital was the same. In fact a guy with a dog that came in about 10 minutes after me got seen before me. What the hell is the point of making an appointment if you don't see me until 20 minutes later? If you're going to see me at 9:15 then just tell me my appointment is for 9:15. I could have slept for another 15 minutes. But let's get to the real reason why I am so upset. After only having my bird for about 5 miniutes, (the fastest nail trim she's ever had), I get Mango back and the charge is................. $75!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did a double take and said, "What?" Apparently this place charges $58 just for you to walk in the door! Princevalle charges about $20 for a nail trim. I guess it's shame on me for not asking what they charged but I just assumed it would be similar to Princevalle. Not only that but I checked Mango's nails and a couple of them were still kinda sharp. I know that vet's don't like to trim bird nails too much because their quicks are inside the nail and the bird will bleed if you trim too aggressively. But I had just paid $75 and by God I was going to get my money's worth so I sent Mango back to get them done a little more. The girls that work at the office are friendly enough and I assume they do a good job but I won't be coming back here ever again because of their predatory pricing. $75?!?!? Geez. That's robbery. Next time use a gun when you're going to rob me.
