Vet Clinics NOT recommended
Below is a list of veterinary clinics in Amman that I do NOT recommend and the reason why.
VETZONE Pet Health Center
Location: 8th Circle – King Abdullah II Street, 336
facebook.com/pg/vetzone/
Why I don’t recommend them: I have received many complaints regarding this vet clinic. See a couple of them here:
Real life testimonies:
“They mistreated our pup and as a result she died. They didnt call to tell us that she died, we were going to see her that day at the vet and that’s how we found out. We didnt get to see her and when we asked how she died they said they did an xray and found a bone punctured something, with no explanation as to how that happened. We then asked to see the X-ray and they flat-out refused. When I say ‘they’ it was the owner who was completely insensitive and downright rude.”
“I brought my sick kitten to them freaking out, I thought she might have feline distemper (panleukopenia) and the woman behind the desk came around and injected her for it before running a test. Then ran a test that came back negative. Then told me my kitten was dehydrated and over-fed and that’s why she was sick, put her on a drip and my baby became very active very fast. I went to pay the bill, looked in the box, and she had bloody foam coming out of her mouth. She died on the table in front of me within 15 minutes. They said she had an “untreatable” virus like a cold found in stray cats and that even in the best conditions 50% of kittens don’t survive (bullshit, I know, I used to run a cat shelter).”
Amman Vet Clinic
Location: Mecca Street (near Toyota company) facebook.com/pg/Amman.Vet.Clinic.Jordan/
Why I don’t recommend them: They support dog breeding and selling.
