    Super nice! Knowledgeable. Was very attentive to my pets needs. Listened patiently when I explained what was wrong with my dog.

    The front office staff and the techs are rude and condescending. They don't accept responsibility…read morefor anything and it's your problem. They don't smile, don't welcome you, just sit down until we call you. They are owned by a corporation and they say they don't know who it is. Yeah, right so there is no one to complain to so it's made right. The vets are fine but the others would rather you not even be there.

    First off, I have never written a bad review let alone a review in general based on bad…read moreexperiences. Today we brought our fur babies to get their yearly shots/ wellness checks. Immediately right off the bat we were uncomfortable with the overwhelming feeling of unwelcome behavior from the vet staff. The receptionist said " what do yall want?", which we replied with "umm, we have appointments for our dogs to get their wellness checks" and she commented "take a seat". We proceeded to sit outside of the waiting rooms for more than 30 minutes when no one was occupying them. She then proceeded to say "it is time to weight your dogs" so we brought them over and she never once acknowledged the dogs, gave them pets, or helped try to make them feel comfortable. Then, were told to go into a waiting room where everything just spiraled. The vet tech came in and talked with us about prices and what we wanted to get versus what we didn't want to get (this is important stay with me). We ask for a itemized bill to be able to see how much everything costs (as this was our first time here) and the tally came to over 750 per dog, which is not bad with labs yet still steep. We then proceeded to go over what we didn't not need yet, as we would come back the following month for anything but the necessities that were currently needed. Everything seemed to be clear as day and understood so we thought it was going good so far. They then came to grab our year and a half old golden to get his nails trimmed and we heard them through the door talking about our dog saying " HOLD STILL" (yelling at him) as he was actively crying and yelping" when they returned our golden they stated multiple times that "maybe next time we should give him sedation/anxiety meds so he is calm" but we are against that due to how loopy it makes him for days on end but they never asked our opinion. Then, they grabbed our 6 year old border collie whom was actively refusing to go back with them, which he never did at the previous vet. I don't remember a time where I had to encourage one of my dogs to go with a vet at the doctor's office. After all the shots were completed the vet tech came in and stated "the doctor will be right with you". When she came in she didn't acknowledge our dogs much just went straight back to the medicating of our 1 and a half year old golden for nail care. She then proceeded to say, " by the way your golden got the flu shot by accident, the tech took it off on the computer but didn't take it out of the basket so I will comp it but I gave it to him. I am just curious... who doesn't double check medications or ASK if our dogs have allergies before GIVING THEM FOOD(during nail care/ shots as our border collie has a sensitive stomach)!!! She proceeded to tell us that she gave our golden shots in all four limbs (which he is now currently yelping and crying every time he moves) and I don't understand why they couldn't just do it in two. I really do not know what is going on up there we have heard good things from family members but now they lost our business between the rudeness/cold behavior right when we got there to the overwhelming feeling of being rushed and not cared about what so ever. I have never been so mad with an establishment due to the care of my dogs that we see as OUR children. It is sad to say I am beyond displeased and utterly disgusted.

    First a few disclaimers; I am new to the area, I don't leave a lot of reviews, and I love my dog…read moremore than anything. All of that being said, I had some good recommendations for Sister's Grooming so I decided to drop in one day and check it out. The shop is clean and cute. The grooming area seemed clean but small. I chatted with the owner, Janette, for at least twenty minutes. I brought my dog in and my grandson was with me. I told her I was weary as my dog is really shy around strangers and has only been groomed two previous times. She assured me it would be fine. I made an appointment for 10am a few days later. The day of my appointment I show up a little before 10am and the first thing that shook me a little was that she had no memory of me. I'm not implying that I am so great she should remember me, but we had a lengthy conversation and I was just surprised. I ask her what time she thinks she will be done and she says 3-4pm as there were many appointments ahead of mine. I asked if they could just call me when they were ready for me because I knew that all those barking dogs and that tiny cage would upset my spoiled baby! She told me my dog would be fine but sure I could bring her back at noon. So I took her back at noon. She asked how I wanted her hair cut. She is a Chorkie but looks mostly like a yorkie. Her hair was just a little too long and I wanted her face cleaned up so I could see her eyes but not to take away the yorkie features. When I picked her up I 100% did not recognize her. She cut ALL of her facial hair, all her ears, and her entire body. Except she didn't trim the hair around her nails, and she looked very choppy and had long hairs here and there. It was awful. I paid and left, not saying anything because she can't bring her hair back. When I got home I got the scissors out to clean it up a little bit and to my dismay I found a pretty decent gouge out of her leg at the joint. Now, I understand mistakes happen but not telling the customer is not acceptable. I would not have left this review had it not been for that! I'm traumatized and I don't think I'll ever take her anywhere again. I hope this review saves somebody else from a bad experience.

    If you want your pet to be placed in a dog fighting rink, this is where you go. The owners don't…read moretend to the dogs, it's filthy, smelly, unkept, owners hard to reach, and will have you waiting 45 minutes or more at the gate. My once beautiful pet came back after a 2 week stay with kennel cough, a severe infection that can kill him, 23 pounds lighter from being neglected, 7 puncture wounds - from what the owner said - was from a "60 lb, $2500 German Shepard who got the best of him." We left our pet with specific instructions to Billy Bob (or whatever his name is) not to be left with or around other pets due to his breed and BOTH owners agreed however, they were incapable and took no accountability. In fact, they said they reviewed the cameras they can't see that ANYTHING took place. After a $600 vet bill, my pet is traumatized and being forced to take pills and medications due to this place. Had to buy additional food to try to get him back up to his standard weight. They told us that we bought him there WITH the cough however, he was boarded with them the weekend before we dropped him off, with only 2 days in between. I guess since the husband-owner had a heart attack during my pets boarding, they were unable to ensure the safety of the pets there, feed them, or give them water. Go at your own risk, if I could give -10 stars I would they don't deserve the 1 Yelp makes you give, this place is trash. Expect your pet not be tended to, nor will it be safe. It is the Jerry Springer version of a boarding place. If you want to win a stupid prize, take your pet to this place. Very hard and difficult lesson learned - we only asked them to cover the vet bill, to which they denied . Never again trust FB for reviews, this place is the pure pits.

    We were told that we would get updates on the pups day and activities, we received 1 message after…read moreseveral request. When we dropped the pup off had to wait for someone to come out of the gate to get in, they did not answer the calls made to them. When we picked the pup up he was wet as well as his kennel and all his toys and bedding; also had to wait for 30 minutes for them to open the gate, they were not on time for us to pick him up. The lady seemed to be overwhelmed, said the pup played in the water? everything was soaked. believe he was kept in his kennel we brought. Will not take pup back there, hate to write a negative review after all we had seen on line but our experience was awful.
