Happy Tails Veterinary Speciality

The most shittiest place ever! If you don't like animals and want to kill them mercilessly, you should go to this place! I know of two families who lost their dogs because of this place!!!nnI understand that a number of people who have treated their dogs are contemplating filing legal proceedings for medical negligence since the dogs have died due to the inefficiencies and negligence of the vets at this clinic.nnRequest everyone to beware before they treat their beloved animals at this illegal clinic. Shame on such doctors who make business out of beings who can't speak for themselves!!!nnP.S.: I was compelled to give one star as google does not provide for no star option!!!

Worst clinic ever! I have 2 classic examples of incompetence of the doctors here and how they are hell bent on commercially exploiting novice pet parent:n1.tI am a first time pet parent and unfortunately my baby had a Grade 4 luxating patella at 3 months of age. We have been associated with this clinic since our puppy came home and therefore it was our first choice for his treatment. Although we had taken 2 more opinions before going ahead with this surgery, we shortlisted Happy Tails on the back of its so called world class facilities and competent doctors. We got him operated here under Dr Ninad Manjure (Orthopaedic surgeon) in Dec. Post surgery, I always questioned Dr Ninad on chances of reluxation and he maintained that this was very rare. Also he never prescribed any recovery protocols such as hydrotherapy, physiotherapy unless specifically asked. The post surgery recovery involved 4 weeks of complete crate rest and controlled leash walks for 2 months thereafter. This is too much restraint for a puppy who should be enjoying his childhood. Nonetheless we trusted Happy Tails and abided by their advise. If this was not enough, he also developed complications like seroma, abscess and pin movements. All this while we continued our timely follow up appointments with Dr Ninad wherein he assured me that chances of reluxation are very rare. In March however we were shocked to discover that his patella had reluxated due to bone growth, this was diagnosed by Dr Deep Vasudeo (Petzone Mahalakshmi, where we had taken my puppy for hydrotherapy). Post this we consulted Dr Ninad to reconfirm this. The fun happens here – Dr Ninad says ” I had told you earlier that this was Grade 4 Luxating Patella and there were chances of reluxation” He advised to go in for another surgery to break the formed bone and put the kneecap back in its place (??!!). We questioned him – The puppy is still growing and if we operate again wouldn’t there be chances of reluxation again due to growth? Does that mean every 2-3 months we have to be on fire expecting a reluxation? To which Dr Ninad agreed and said we could do the operation after a couple of months. I’m baffled here – Shouldn’t a competent doctor think of all factors before recommending recovery approach for his patients? OR Is it the pet parent’s prime responsibility to keep doing google researches and asking relevant questions? How can one revert from his earlier analysis and misstate facts on possibilities of surgery failing? I’m amazed with this level of ignorance and incompetence from such a reputed profession.nnNow for the second examplenn2.tDuring his post recovery stage, my puppy developed diarrhea time and again. He wasn’t puking though. We consulted Dr Amruta Parulkar who scared the hell out of us by doing multiple x rays and a pancreatitis test. She was hell bent on proving that there was an obstruction which required barium tests and possible surgery, inspite of X rays showing gases in my baby’s abdomen. Also he wasn’t vomiting, which is supposed an obvious sign of obstruction. We stopped consulting her and referred his case to our nearby experienced vet who was of the opinion that the diarrhea was primarily on account of erosion of his gut flora due to multiple antibiotics he was on post his surgery and it was a matter of time that it would go away. It’s been more than a month now and he is doing fine on his stomach problem.nHappy Tails enjoys a so called reputation of being a clinic with world class facilities and hands on doctors. My experience with them was nothing short of a circus –with Dr Umesh Karkare being a ringmaster to his jingbang of incompetent clowns. He and his team definitely owe us an apology for what my baby has gone through, Im sure I will get none. The only good doctor in that clinic is Dr Shariva Dange who is hands on and genuinely goes out of her way to help her patients. Hope my post helps novice pet parents in rethinking their decision to bring their fur babies to this clinic.

A great clinic with a lot of young, well trained doctors.
