Since 1999, we have taken our 2 Australian shepherds to this kennel for grooming (not boarding)…read more The staff are friendly and accommodating. The groomer shows her beagles at dog shows across the country, including Eukanuba & Westminster. She is very savvy at how to groom many different breeds. We take our dog there every 1 to 2 months, based on time of year. If ever there is an issue, it is easy to discuss & resolve the issue with the groomer. Her grooming place is clean and does not smell foul, as the previous reviewer stated in 2012. The floors of the boarding kennel have hot water heating. We choose to not board our dogs anywhere. They are a core part of our family and go with us or else we hire someone to stay with them/check in on them if we need to be away. Thru the years, we have learned how much skill, patience and physical effort/labor is involved in grooming a dog. We highly value this groomer, her skills & personalty & would never go anywhere else. Also, if you message Mary, she normally replies within 24 hours. We cannot say enough positives about this groomer! Her other forte is training dogs & their parents,via AKC-based curriculum. With our previous aussie, Sir Bentley, we did a series of 7 Canine Good Citizen Classes, which served us well, all of Bentley's life and into our next 2 aussies' lives.

We took our dogs to this kennel and boarded them overnite. We were skeptical at first based on the…read morelooks and smell of the facility, but decided to give it a try. When picking our dogs up the next day, we noticed they were completely covered with a very strong, disgustingly foul odor. The dogs were bathed immediately at home, and the water in the bath tub after was 10X dirtier than any we've ever had before. I would not recommend this dirt hole to anyone. I will never take a pet to this place again, not even a skunk!!!

HONEST, TRUSTWORTHY, CARING AND PROFESSIONAL IN A SAFE DOG FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT…read more I can't imagine anyone would have a bad experience with Carolyn. She cared for our miniature poodle like he was her own. I never had to worry about him! He absolutely loved her, her dogs and her home. She has a huge fenced in yard and ensures the dogs get daily exercise. She screens the other dogs to ensure a safe environment and yes she will turn people away for the sake of the peace and tranquility of the other dog Residents/customers. We employed her services on a regular basis over a 3 year period and not one time was she unprofessional! An amazing alternative to a traditional kennel . She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to dogs- and helped us with training. I see some bad reviews - all I can say is there has to be more to the story. Fixing dogs is a two way street- You get what you put into it on the home front. Sadly we moved out of state and miss her. We do highly recommend her!

I trust him completely with my pets and they love him. Oh and as for his team - they compliment him well as they too are personable and caring. I am so lucky I found Dr. Elmore. You will be too!

I was looking for a place to take my cat without having to go to Cornell and pay the extremely high price they charge for even walking in the door. I called this clinic because it boasted being a 24 hour emergency clinic on their website and when I called the message just advised me to call Cornell. With this being the case, they should not have that they themselves are a 24 hour emergency clinic. I have not actually been to the clinic so cannot rate the actual service.

I took my golden retriever here several times and decided that I don't like their service. For one,…read morethey barely spend 5 minutes with you, the don't go over anything about how the dog does at home or any concerns. And second, my golden is not huge or overweight, but still considered a large dog at 70lbs. The doctor grabs her by the neck and throws her up on the table. I've never had any other vet do that, they always kneel down to her on the floor which isn't a big deal. I didn't realize this was a problem until my husband attended an emergency visit with me. The only reason I gave two stars and not one is because they are budget friendly. So if you want bottom-of-the-line care for a low cost, go here. If you want decent care, go anywhere else.

She takes such good care of each one of her customers, from the full works spa day to the regular nail trims I take my little beast in for. Even though it's located in the same building as her vet's office, my dog runs in the door when she is going to see Katie. After the service, clients can opt to have a photo taken on a fun backdrop- with props if they're the kind of dog to put up with props. There's a new background each month. All that, and her prices are some of the best in the area. Way less than the chains. Her salon is clean and well-maintained and she always has treats available for pups to go. This is one of my favorite women-owned local businesses to support.
