Hi everyone, my name is Jess and i live in the calis area. I would like people to know about my experiance with ANKAVET. i have 2 male boxer dogs which i put in to ANKAVET kennels for a period of 5 day thinking it would the best option for my dogs who are like our children. we left them with 6 kilos of dog biscuites and a large pan of meat food mix for them, also we rang them everyday to check and was informed they were fine. To our shock and horror when we returned and picked up our dogs I WAS ABSOLOUTLY MORTIFIED!! they were in the most discusting aweful state!!! my Fiance asked to see where they they had been kept but was refused. My dogs were filthy and smelled of urine and faeces. also they had lost a tremendous amount of weight to the point their ribs were starting to show! their tempremant had changed as though they had been badly treated and maybe even harmed. My Fiance who was furious then rang the vet to complain to which the vet didnt seem to care.... i was very very upset and it took my dogs about a week to start acting normal again. im not one to complain but i think this should be a warning to others who are concidering using that vet.
-
Well at least it gave you something to share with us after 9 years of silence eh
-
we allways use korhan from zoopet in fethiye,our dog cant wait to jump into the back of his van when he picks him up and doesn't even look back.perhaps give him a try next time.

Sorry about your experience but thanks for the warning. And Scunner it's comments like yours that stop some people going on message boards.
-
My point exactly - been a member since 2003 and in all that time didn't share a single experience, tip, idea or story with us. This is not a "message board" as you call it, it is a discussion forum - not a place to finally head to when you have someone to slag off. People who make one post in 9 years as a member hardly need my comments to stop them posting do they!!!
-
Scunner, probably a lot of people use this website as a good source of information and rightly so, maybe they just look and dont participate, why is it such a crime?
-
And who do you suppose provides the information Janice1971 - could it possibly be the members.
Surely the website wouldn't existing if people did not participate

I'll probably get slated for this but here goes!
If everyone just "looked & didn't participate" as you suggest there would be no "source of information".
The op has been here for 9 years yet have found NOTHING TO SHARE THAT WOULD BE DESCRIBED AS "POSITIVE" for the other members as a good source of information yet finds a voice when something goes wrong, I think that's a poor show.
A discussion forum is about "information sharing".
Just my 2p worth, I am glad the member finally posted on here, just a shame it was such a negative post albeit 1 that MAY help others to change their minds about a service in the locality, rightly or wrongly.
-
Whilst I really feel for these dogs (I am a tue animal lover) does Scunner not have a bit of a point here?
We all try and share tips, flight bargains etc for all our fellow members where we can, if I had lived in Calis for a long old time I would have liked to help people guide people etc with the knowledge I would have gained over the years, I am not being disrespectful here to the dogs owners, sorry if my post upsets anyone but wanted to have my say. :)

I set up the website so people from all walks of life could exchange information, good and bad. People who see this as a place to come to just to bad mouth someone really don't fit the profile of a community member - having had 9 years of membership and contributed nothing till they decided to slate someone today. In nine years, never gave a reasuring answer to someone worried to death about something, shared an amusing Turkish tale or anything at all.
People should not see CBF as a place that you only have a use for when you want to write something that you know will (and perhaps intend to) harm someone's business or name - it is a place where you can help others by sharing positives and negatives of life. I listen to the people on here that praise the good and post the bad - to me someone who has not thought to post anything good in years then opens their account with a slating carries little or no weight in my book but may do in the book of others.
I promise you Janice, had this not been about a vet today, but about your cake shop a few years back as an example, you that you would be very much agreeing with me on this. It isn't, hence you aren't.
-
I agree the more input the better, however life isnt black and white is it?
-
Janice it is BECAUSE life isn't black and white that people who turn up out of the blue with a slagging off for someone aren't usually worth listening to. One thing Turkey taught me is that someone's reputation has nothing to do with what they do or achieve, it has to do entirely with who you asked.
That's why I tend to listen to people who post about the good and the bad.
-
ok point taken, fair play!
-
I would also say that it is normal policy to remove first posts that are negatively targeting someone or somewhere - and experience does show in most cases that this is the best way. When attack is the motivation for a first post on a forum things generally don't end up well. However, this topic wasn't removed as the information is on the subject of pets and as a nation of pet loving ex-pats there, people can take it or leave it but at least it remains. My initial reply I stand by - there must have been helpful information in the last nine years that could have helped people - many members have nothing like nine years experience to draw on, and that is what we are here for...and why we are still here while the snake pit vicious, vendetta ridden forums are long gone.
-
Scunner, totally agree with you !!

Sad but true:((

Friends of mine used Ankavet recently for their 2 dogs and cat and gave rave reviews. On that basis another friend and I have booked our pets in for 3 days in February. I know that is a way away, but I will post my experience on here afterwards (and hope it is a positive as my other friend). I am not willing to cancel our booking just because of one comment, and i trust my other friends as they know how spoilt my cat is and how fussy I am!
-
I also have to say that we have used Ankavet for our dog several times now and have had never had a problem.
-
I also have used Ankavet and found him to be fantastic.
-
There are some dogs that just do not do very well in Kennels.
My friend has a Boarding Kennel in the UK, she says some dogs pine for their owners, so much so, that they refuse to eat for a few days.
Others are extremely nervous and soil themselves due to worry and stress.
If she has a problem dog that refuses to eat due to stress, she often cooks mince and chicken to encourage them to eat.
Also, she has a quiet area away from the main Kennel where these dogs can be kept a lot calmer.
She is always truthful and will inform the owners on their return if the dog has had difficulty settling.
I was just wondering if possibly these dogs just happened to be the kind that did not do so well in kennels and were upset by their unfamiliar surroundings, which had nothing to do with any bad treatment of the dogs.
-
I live just down the road from the Ankavet and I must admit I was surprised to hear about the Boxer dogs - I often pop into the vets and chat to the two ladies there - I always look at the dogs in the kennels at the back and they always seem well looked after. I hope your dogs have recovered ok and I am saddened you had this experience.
-
Ankavet look after our 2 dogs and our street dog very well and they love him. However after a blood test he has misdiagnosed our Rotties illness and gave insuffiecient tablets for our large dog. We took a 2nd opinion from another vet and after more tests our fears were proved correct on our dogs illness. Ankavet will still be our vet for injections and general illnesses. He is a new, young vet and very good with animals.
-
Can I ask if there is a rule which says that you must make some kind input to the forum within a certain time? Just asking as there must be a lot of members who have'nt made any comment for say over a year or so. Would all these members be given the same welcome when they did make a post?
-
There is no requirement to post within a certain time, or to post at all if you prefer not to. I would suggest you knew that anyway and want to stir the topic a little. As already explained, quite clearly, people who's motivation to finally post for the first time is to give negative publicity about someone is not a good sign and is not in keeping with the community we have created. People fail to see that on the receiving end of these posts is a man's livelihood - posts like these are only unacceptable when you are the person being slated in front of 8,000 strangers.
If anyone thinks a free for all 'turn up and attack' forum is the way things should be, I would encourage them to set one up and how it pans out in the real world. Until then, please just accept that we are doing our best to run a forum for the benefit of everyone - on the forum and not - and for the area.
-
And with that I can either answer every forthcoming post with "If you don't like the way we do things you don't have to don't come", or I can point out that this topic has run it's course and lock it.
Guess which one I chose.
