First of all, Pet Pantry is not just a shelter. Their work helping people afford to keep their pets…read moreis extremely important, and they give out food, supplies and low-cost veterinary services to those who need them. In Philadelphia, helping reduce surrenders in this manner has been part of a formula that increased that city's shelter survival rate from 11% to 80% in just six years. (Yes, Philly also has an aggressive spay/neuter program.) After losing my cat to cancer, I decided to take a look around and ended up adopting an 8-year-old male cat who had come to Pet Pantry from an overcrowded house. PP had farmed him out to the Forever Home in E. Petersburg, which is where I went to see him. PP made good on its 30-day health warranty by removing a knot/cyst of some sort from the top of his head, at no cost. He is much more comfortable without that. With PP you get a cat that's spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and has been through a health and behavior screening. I have no problem with an 8-year-old cat, either. Kittens are gone in a week, and young adults that rub your legs and purr are gone pretty quickly as well. But older cats need homes too. Sometimes you have to do the most good possible for the pet as well as for yourself. As long as PP does the important work of helping pet owners keep their pets, and ensures spaying/neutering, vaccines and health/behavior screening, I certainly can recommend them for anybody seeking a rescue pet.

Unfortunately, they had to deliver bad news. However, it was done with such kindness and compassion that it eased the blow while giving us all the information we needed.

They had our girl for a week and everyone knew who she was. That gave me the confidence to know that they all care about their jobs and their patients. Thank you to each and every one of the staff who cared for our girl. I am sure there were even more than we met. You will see us, and the rest of out canine family soon.

I adopted a rescue a month after my Bitsy passed and was told it would be 3 months before an…read moreappointment could be made to see Luna at Patton Vet. Having spent thousands of dollars for Bitsy's congestive heart failure in the previous 6 months, hearing I was a 'NEW' customer and could not get a sooner appointment, strikes me as a bizarre business practice. Coupled with Patton Vet's unique accounting practice for the care plan they offer and being told that they were just 'errors,' it was time to seek a new Vet. Suggest customers of Patton Vet check their invoices. There are many vets in the York PA area with up-to-date equipment, such as an ultrasound machine which is something Patton Vet apparently does NOT have. I had no problem scheduling an appointment as a 'new' customer within 30 days, something the contract with the Rescue required.

I was a bit sad that she didn't look back, but she was running toward people who genuinely care about her and take care of her. They're very professional and knowledgeable about dogs. You will always feel comfortable leaving your dog with them. When Chichi had a minor health concern, they called me very quickly and let me know what was going on. I was able to take her to the vet that day. They even followed up and called me to make sure she was doing okay. If you want a place where your dog can freely socialize, learn, surround themselves with genuine people (and treats!) this place is totally for you and your fur baby. Go check it out!

She suggested taking our dog to her obedience class. We had a great time, learned a lot and bonded with him. When it came time to look for a kennel to use when we travel, we went back to Bella Vista and have never been disappointed. Stephanie takes such great care of Bentley when he stays there. In the summer, the inside of the kennel is nice and cool but he still loves to play outside too. Stephanie is always willing to accommodate us - we had some issues getting back home on time not long ago and she let us pick Bentley up late instead of waiting until her business hours the next day. Which was wonderful because I always miss him when we travel. But I don't worry about him as much, knowing he's in good hands. I also recently had Stephanie groom him when he stayed at the kennel for the weekend and I was very pleased with the haircut he got. Of course, Stephanie knows her stuff when it comes to terriers! (She has Westies and her own Scottie too.) I would and do recommend both the training facilities and the kennel to pet owners in the area.

That moment came for us, and if it weren't for the critical attention and swift decision-making of Sandy Bulson at Mason Dixon K9, Reacher might not be here today. Sandy recognized something was wrong and sent Ryan with Reacher to PAWS Animal Hospital, where he was quickly diagnosed with the early stages of bloat. Ryan quite literally raced against time earning his NASCAR checkers in order to get Reacher to the Mason Dixon Animal Emergency Hospital (no affiliation with MDK9). There, two technicians and the ER Vet were prepared for Reacher's case. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sharing these photos or writing to share the story. Thanks to the seamless coordination between Mason Dixon K9, PAWS Animal Hospital, and Mason Dixon Animal Emergency Hospital, Reacher received life-saving care. The complexity of this particular case started with Reacher not showing the textbook signs of gastric dilatation-volvulus, (GDV), or commonly known as Bloat: no distended belly, no retching, no drum-like sounds when tapped. Something to note, bloat is a life-threatening condition that often presents with vague signs and progresses rapidly. Instead, Reacher was drooling excessively, refusing food, and suffering from severe diarrhea. Sandy's intuition and evaluative judgment led to that crucial appointment. What followed was 48 hours of intense anxiety for our family, as we were out of town and Reacher's fate now rested in the hands of the exceptional team at Mason Dixon Animal Emergency Hospital. I could go over every detail, but it's best to sum it up and share just how amazing Mason Dixon K9, Mason Dixon Animal Emergency Hospital, and Paws Animal Hospital are. They worked seamlessly together to save Reacher, and I know other pets and families who have found themselves in life threatening situations. Our family is forever grateful to each of these extraordinary teams. If you're wondering whether you're making the right decision by choosing them, stop wondering. You are. The only mistake would be not putting your trust in them!
