I was told I have to take him to irmo location because that groomer is good for doodles. So I showed up at 8 a.m. 5 weeks after his butch job. And they told me I was suppose to take him to west columbia location. I was like wth.. but she showed me a text that mentioned west columbia but then they sent me the address to irmo location .. i just need a good groomer, this area is short on qualified groomers. I'm from Florida and had the same groomer for all my dogs for 15 years. Hear I've had him at 5 different groomers. I promise it's not me . And of course they blamed me for there incompetence. So sad, considering opening my own grooming shop. For people who just can't find a shop here. Terrible experience.

I would still make the almost 3 hour trip from coastal SC to Lexington if needed. Dr. Macauley is absolutely wonderful! She is very knowledgeable and delivers state-of-the-art care. During our time in Columbia we spent weekends at our primary residence in coastal SC and had to take the pups at varying times to a 24 -hour veterinary center when they became ill. Every single time, Dr. Macauley called us to follow up! She even called us last year when our dear Bailey had to have a splenectomy for an enlarging tumor which was very suspicious for a malignancy and we had already moved away! Dr. Macauley followed up with us and comforted us as the we awaited the final pathology. Our heartache turned to joy when Bailey did well post-op and then pathology report showed no malignancy. She called us and rejoiced with us. Her clinic was always willing to work us in when needed. We so miss the wonderful care she provided to our dear pups and, if needed, will travel back to Lexington in the future. I am a physician myself and very particular about the care our pets receive. Dr. Macauley and the other veterinarians we saw during those years as well as the entire staff were so professional, warm, and caring. Diana Collins MD

My 2 Shetland Sheepdogs have been loving the care they get from Leslie and her team for 12 and 11…read moreyears. Our 3rd Sheltie is 3, and he's gone there since he was a baby as well. We do daycare and boarding with them, and the facility is just an absolute gem to have in our area. Leslie is the most compassionate and caring person, and her team is top notch. She also has extensive knowledge, coming from the best background to operate this type of business. Even as I have watched this business grow over the last decade, the quality of care has remained superior. Boarding rooms are real rooms, there is a later nighttime walk so dogs aren't expected to hold it for 11 or 12 hours like other places we have heard about, they cater to animals with special needs, and all the employees are engaging and care. 12 years is a long time to have one team taking primary care of 3 dogs and we used to have a cat too - so I could write paragraphs of positives for this business, but I'll just let that 12 years serve as an exclamation point. Excellent business to trust your furbabies with!

We had a 4-day trip and needed someone to watch our senior dogs. We tried boarding before and will…read morenever do it again (they never notified us that our dog was NOT eating for the entire week we were away and we came home to skin and bones). We knew we needed to have our pets in the comfort of their home with someone to feed and exercise them. It's nice to have family and friends to help, but you also don't want to inconvenience them. This is where Dawn from All Fur the Luv of Paws came into the picture. After meeting her during the consultation, we felt very comfortable leaving our babies with her, which we did. She was very thorough and was also in constant contact with us during our vacation. One of our dogs is a picky eater and she went out of her way to try anything to make him eat. We are happy to announce that we did not come home to skin and bones this time around. Lastly, we have cameras in the house, but it was nice to get picture updates via text messages regarding whether they ate, about their walks, etc. We used to worry about our dogs when we would go on vacations, but not anymore. We will now use Dawn to watch our babies and would recommend her in a heartbeat.

She asked great questions and took copious notes. Every day we got a timely report and pictures to show how everything was going. Could not have asked for a better experience--especially for such a reasonable price (based on the length of stay each day; we opted for 30 minutes). She also took in the mail, attended to cat boxes when needed, and handled the outside trash cans. Wonderful experience and we will use again!

We used to have 2 dogs and are now down to one - both of them are rescues and suffer from separation anxiety issues. Happy to say that both of them were fine going into this facility and fine coming out. Our surviving dog has had short and extended stay and has come home happy from both types of boarding. She has a spa day before returning home and seems to really love her routine and pamper session while there. She can be a smelly little old girl, so really appreciate that her bath from the groomers there lasts longer than any other place. During a power outage after bad weather a few years back, they regularly kept us updated on how they were taking care of the pets in general. We really appreciated the updates as were unable to go and fetch her early. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. This is a top notch facility and highly recommend them.
