    Molly after grooming!
    Dawn C.

    We can not say enough positive things about Almost Home Pet Retreat. From their amazing staff that lives on your fur baby as their own to the great communication from ownership. We were sent photos of Molly & Milo and could see first hand what an awesome time they were having. We were lucky and got into Wendy the groomer while they were staying and she also did a wonderful job with their cut. All around five stars!! Great experience and Great care by Great people.

    Highly recommend Almost Home for boarding, we've used them twice now and very pleased with the service. They were so kind and welcoming, Grizzly took to them immediately and he was very happy when we picked him up. They sent us pictures during his stay and we love how they have an open yard, with lots of outside time!

    Happy dogs playing at the retreat:)
    Katerina S.

    So happy that we discovered this place! First of all, the place has new owners as of June of 2018 so all older reviews do not apply and really have to be removed for accuracy. New owners are also volunteers in Operation Pets alive and truly love dogs and know how to take great care of them. Almost Home Pet Retreat is a fun place for dogs of all sizes and there are no up charges for playtime outside. It's just like have your dogs at home. With Almost Home Pet Resort we had no worries and could see from the photo updates that our dogs were happy and well cared for. The pictures spoke for themselves! We are confident to leave our dogs whenever we go out of town long- or short-term whereas previously it was always an issue. The best place to board your dog(s) worry-free!

    My dog spent the weekend here and came back very happy and in one piece. The facility is large and the staff is nice.

    We came for the training and decided to switch to this place for vet services too. The Pet Resort…read moreis a Vet Hospital, boarding facility, groomer and dog training facility all-in-one. From the moment you walk in, it is apparent that all aspects of this business are top notch. Mr. Chris Hernandez is the on-site full time trainer. He offers several different training packages to match your needs and budget. We elected to do the board and train an intensive 3 week basic obedience class. Is it possible for the average person to train their own dog? Absolutely...but getting professional help from Chris will let you and your dog achieve far better results and much faster. I was able to teach my dog to sit, come and stay without professional help but what Chris does is take it to the next level...After three weeks with Chris, our 4 month old puppy is far more obedient than 98% of the adult dogs in our neighborhood. For example. I taught her to come (most of the time, especially with a treat or promise of affection), Chris taught her to come reliably...off leash...with distractions...at distance. Now she comes when I want her to not when she feels like it but its more accurate to say, she always wants to come when called. I taught her to sit on command...Chris taught her to sit until told otherwise - in our case, our 4 month old puppy will sit patiently in place for 45-60 minutes until she is released and it's taking basic commands to the next level of perfection that builds trust in the dog. Getting a dog to sit patiently, allows nervous strangers to come over, allows for me to accomplish chores without fending off the dog's playing and generally makes life for both of us easier and more rewarding. Necessary skills for times when distractions and failure to obey correctly and immediately could have dire consequences such as when you need to avoid an aggressive dog, you're dog ("SQUIREL!") gets loose and is near a street, you are hiking off leash and come across a deer. In addition to commands, Chris takes your dog to all sorts of places to experience new smells, sights and sounds and conditions your dog to behave when there are other animals, strange people. Take those examples and apply that level of conditioning to every command. Additionally, he teaches your dog, house and car manners and the sum total of all this training makes you more inclined to take your dog more places and have fun together safely. Is training cheap? No, but amortized over the life of the dog - well worth it. How do you put a price on obedience? I don't know but you can start with avoiding the cost of a Vet bill after being hit by a car because your dog didn't listen. (Pro-tip: If you board and train, you get free tech support for the life of the dog and when you board your dog and PR@SR, Chris will work with your dog as a refresher and address any little problems that come up after graduating the basic class.) After your dog has been taught, Chris teaches you how to continue reinforcing the commands and not sabotaging yourself or the training when you get home. If you are on the fence, call the Vet and ask to speak with Chris - he will make an appointment and you can get your dog evaluated for free, very laid back, no pressure - he'll just answer your questions and tell you how he can help.

    I took my teacup Chihuahua and boarded her at Stone Ridge. We were going to our grandson's…read moregraduation is Iowa. We took 2 tours at 2 different times just to check it out. We won't leave our baby just anywhere and we felt really good about this place. She is on meds and I am very picky about anyone other than my husband and I giving it to her. We came back a day early and she was a happy little girl! They had no trouble with her meds or feeding her. One tech was attached to her and she spent a lot of time with my baby! Who could not resist a 5 pound precious little girl! The price was actually cheaper because we came back a day earlier, we had gotten the big room with a tv, since she is used to our tv on at home. I will most definitely use Stone Ridge is we have to travel again, I have a really hard time leaving her but I trust she is well taken care of there!

The staff was so helpful and accommodating which made all the difference. The vet who treated my cat was kind, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. Only dinged 1 star because I was there for a pretty long time although we did have multiple diagnostics done.

    Our 7 year-old cat was exposed to a common household cleaner and began showing serious symptoms…read moredrooling, lethargy, and labored breathing. We rushed him to this clinic in a panic. Upon arrival, we were required to pay a $700 deposit before our cat was even evaluated. After payment, he was taken to the back, but instead of immediate treatment, we were instructed to call an animal poison control hotline ourselves which also required an additional fee. We were not informed that the clinic would also charge an even higher fee to consult with poison control. We spent about an hour on hold with poison control while our cat waited in distress. After completing lot of paperwork, He was treated with antibiotics and anti nausea medication, we were sent home with just antibiotics, despite the fact that he was still experiencing severe labored breathing. The breathing issues continued throughout the night. The next day, Dr. Goodyear called and said she regretted not administerina a steroid to help his night. The next day, Dr. Goodyear called and said she regretted not administering a steroid to help his breathing. We returned immediately to pick it up. Tragically it was too late, after giving the first dose at home, our cat vomited, began convulsing, and passed away. We later took him to another veterinary clinic for a necropsy and were told that the prolonged respiratory distress likely led to cardiac arrest. We are very heartbroken. We brought our cat in for urgent care and trusted that he would receive immediate, appropriate treatment. Instead, we feel critical time was lost, and key decisions were delayed. And unfortunately our beloved cats life was cut short.

    Montgomery County Animal Shelter - I am so happy! Everyone was so nice and caring. I found my fur baby and he's so perfect! We love him so much

    Extremely disappointed and heartbroken by the lack of medical oversight and poor communication at…read morethis facility.I adopted an 11-week-old, 1.9-pound kitten from this shelter on Tuesday. Within less than 12 hours of bringing her home, she began suffering from severe labored breathing and extreme lethargy. I had to rush her to an emergency veterinary clinic Wednesday morning where she was admitted with a dangerous 105°F fever and fluid in her lungs.The emergency veterinarian confirmed that this severe infection was absolutely contracted and incubating while she was inside this shelter's facility.To make matters worse, the shelter's medical clinic is only open on certain days and times, leaving helpless animals and new adopters completely stranded without care during weekday medical emergencies. Because of their negligence in adopting out a critically ill, underweight kitten who had just undergone surgery, I am now facing thousands of dollars in emergency vet bills just to keep her alive.Please be incredibly careful if you adopt from here. Check your animals immediately and be prepared for hidden medical emergencies. I'm sure they're trying their best, but this is the second kitten we've gotten from them.. 1st one passed from pneumonia.. and now this one is having problems.

When I went to pay they said we only take cash! No where did I read that nor did anyone tell me that when I called! My bank is out of state! The videos said to give pain medication every 6 hours but on the envelope it say every 12 hrs, I called the doctor number he answered and was very rude when I told him that my puppy ears were bothering her before the 12 hrs. He said "it's your job to make sure she doesn't " I understand it my job to look after my puppy but it's his job to make sure she is not in pain! I don't feel like he cared about her pain level. They called my name to pick her up then told me she was not quite read she was still groggy, so I waited another 10 minutes they bring her out in a shopping cart and expected me to wheel her outside by myself and keep her in the cart too! She was too heavy for this 65 year old woman to carry but a nice lady offered to help me, she carried my baby and I opened the door. The staff is not very helpful. I took her to a local vet for dressing changes and stitch removal, the local vet was most helpful and nice! Be prepared to pay more than the listed prices if want your puppy to look good and not be in pain.
