I had hip surgery and had my 3 dogs stay at the animal and bird veterinary facility. They did an awesome job and I highly recommend them.

This was the second time I boarded my dog at this facility, and unfortunately, both visits ended with her coming home sick. After her most recent stay, she developed kennel cough. After her first stay, she came home with kennel cough and an eye infection. While I understand that illnesses can occur in any boarding environment, having it happen both times is extremely concerning. Health Issues This was the second time I boarded my dog at this facility, and unfortunately, both visits ended with her coming home sick. After her most recent stay, she developed kennel cough. After her first stay, she came home with kennel cough and an eye infection. While I understand that illnesses can occur in any boarding environment, having it happen both times is extremely concerning. Care Instructions and Facility Handling I was also disappointed that Duchess's care instructions were not updated during check-in. She is no longer a puppy and no longer chews, yet her paperwork still reflected outdated information. Because of that, she wasn't given the blanket or bed that should have been placed on top of her cot. This should have been caught and corrected by the staff during the check-in process. (I was also told I was unable to leave her blanket and toy from home, which should have been communicated at the time of reservation.) While watching the facility cameras, I also saw another dog placed in Duchess's room for a period of time, although I was never given an explanation as to why. Later, I learned that Duchess had been moved out of her room around midnight because the room needed to be painted. I was never notified that she had been relocated, and I found that very concerning. Communication and Monitoring Concerns To make matters worse, I was unable to access the cameras during the night. Around 3:30 a.m., I became worried because I couldn't see Duchess and had no idea she had been moved. I called the facility, but no one answered. As a pet owner, that was incredibly stressful and upsetting. Customer Service and Response When I called after bringing Duchess home to discuss everything that had happened, I was shocked by the manager's response. Rather than showing concern or empathy, I was told, "Well, you signed a waiver." While I understand that boarding facilities require waivers, a waiver should never be used to dismiss a customer's legitimate concerns or excuse poor communication and preventable issues. That response left me feeling that Duchess's well-being--and my concerns as her owner--were not taken seriously. Overall Experience Any one of these issues might have been understandable on its own, but taken together, they reflect a lack of communication, attention to detail, and accountability. I understand that boarding facilities care for many dogs and that no facility can completely eliminate the risk of contagious illnesses. However, I do expect accurate records, clear communication, transparency when changes are made involving my dog's care, and compassionate customer service when concerns are raised. After two disappointing experiences and two hefty vet bills, I can no longer trust this facility with Duchess and will not be boarding her here again. I hope this review encourages the facility to make meaningful improvements so that other families--and their beloved pets--don't have a similar experience. Our pets can't tell us what happened while they were away, so trust and communication are everything!!

I brought in my Belgian…read moreMalinois--who can be a lot to handle--and they showed nothing but patience, understanding, and genuine care from start to finish. They never made me feel rushed or judged, and they took the time to make sure my dog felt as comfortable as possible. You can tell they're not just skilled at what they do--they truly love what they do. Every interaction felt thoughtful and intentional, and their professionalism gave me so much confidence that my dog was in the best hands. It's not easy to find a vet team that balances expertise with compassion this well, but Dr. Ables and his staff absolutely do. I'm beyond grateful and wouldn't trust anyone else with my dog's care. Highly, highly recommend.

We brought Pippa here for an abscess/wound on her hindquarters and paid nearly $900 for her…read moreemergency visit, sedation, wound repair, medications, and other treatment. Our original invoice specifically states "Please schedule a 7 day recheck -- $0.00," "Suture Removal in 12-14 days -- $0.00," and "READY TO GO -- All Services in Visit List -- $0.00." Based on that invoice, we reasonably understood the 7-day recheck to be part of her postoperative care. When we returned for that scheduled recheck, we waited about an hour and the doctor looked at her incision for approximately a minute. We were then charged an additional $55. When we questioned the charge and pointed out what our original invoice said, we were told that although the recheck appears as $0 on the original invoice, they charge for the doctor visit when you actually return. That explanation made very little sense to us. The invoice has separate "Price" and "Total" columns, and the 7-day recheck is listed as $0.00 in both. If the recheck actually carried an additional $55 exam fee that simply wasn't being charged on the day of Pippa's procedure, we would have expected that fee to be reflected in the price or, at minimum, clearly disclosed to us. Instead, the requested postoperative recheck was presented on our invoice as a $0 service, and we were only told about the additional fee after we returned for it. We asked that our concern be sent to management and requested a refund. When we returned again for Pippa's suture removal, we brought it up and were told management still had not responded. It has now been approximately two weeks since our initial complaint and we still have not received a response. The $55 itself isn't the main reason for this review. What bothers us is the way the postoperative care was handled. After spending nearly $900 treating our cat, we expected the practice to be concerned with making sure her surgical wound was healing properly without turning a very brief scheduled postoperative check into another unexpected charge. The lack of response from management after we specifically raised the issue has made the experience even more disappointing. It left us feeling that collecting an additional fee for a quick follow-up was more important than providing transparent, patient-centered postoperative care. Pippa's medical treatment itself so far appears successful, and we're grateful that her wound is healing. But the billing practices and lack of communication afterward have caused us to lose confidence in this practice, and we will be taking our pets elsewhere in the future.

She is extremely knowledgeable with puppy raising and socialization. We did a mixture of group classes and private lessons once Bear graduated puppy class. With Bethany's help, Bear has built a super solid foundation for sports and useful life skills. Bethany is a good problem solver. She often has creative solutions to curb behavior problems. Her methods are practical for real life situations and she listens to her clients well. Now that my boy is all grown up, we go to PhDogs for their awesome dock diving pool. The process of booking and using the pool is easy. Bear is always so excited to go there. When we occasionally go out of town, PhDogs is the only place I can trust to care for my high drive, intact boy. They also offer swimming lessons during the dog's stay. Bethany actually taught Bear how to swim when he was there for boarding :) I highly recommend PhDogs!!!

I own a puppy from this breeder, and I also rent their pool several times a year.

Whether you're looking for a quality dog, training, or a private place to work your dog in the pool, PH Dogs is definitely worth checking out!
