We would not recommend this Vet for any treatment of any animal for any reason. He has turned our…read morelives upside down. After my husband and I had our first child, we moved from Mpls in 2022, into a new home in Burnsville. With all the excitement, we decided to get a puppy. We found a very reputable breeder of Golden Retrievers through friends. At this point our life was so perfect we couldn't be happier. New home, new baby, new puppy. The American dream was falling into place. After a yr we thought we should take our precious puppy in for her first checkup. A neighbor recommended Dr Hunt at the Palomino Hospital-Clinic in Burnsville. Before the appointment we researched vaccinations for animals & found they're not all necessarily intended to help animals, some can potentially harm them & even cause death. When we brought this up to Dr Hunt, he became very defensive & appeared almost angry as if we were out of line for even questioning vaccines. He assured us that they were not harmful & that our puppy would be just fine. So, with some reservations, we put our faith & trust in him. Little did we know this would have devastating consequences. A few weeks before XMAS of '25 our beautiful retriever became sick. She was losing weight, had no energy & couldn't keep food down. She was getting worse by the day. We were dumbfounded. She had impeccable lineage, was fed the finest foods & exercised daily. We researched her symptoms and found it could be the results of vaccinations. The only vax she ever had where the ones Dr Hunt had guaranteed us were so safe. We immediately took her to a new vet at a new clinic. Our worst nightmare was coming true. After a battery of tests, it was confirmed. Our baby had cancer. It was terminal. With this diagnosis, and the info we supplied, the Dr agreed, it certainly could have been caused by the vaccinations she got as a pup. How do you tell your 4yr old child her beautiful dog is dying & we have to euthanize her because you trusted a bad vet. Dr. Hunt from Palomino Hospital/Clinic must be one of the most unprofessional Dr's we've ever encountered. The biggest regret of our life was not leaving when we got so much resistance when asking questions about the vax. It felt as if he was hiding something and trying to keep us from asking more questions. We thought we may have been over cautious, but in hindsight we were right on point. If we knew then, what we know now, we would have never taken our baby to that evil man. He destroyed the emotional fabric of our new beginning, in our new home, with our first child. We can't stop crying over the devastating loss of our beautiful pet that we loved like our child. It is going to take a long time to get thru this bad experience. We seriously beg anyone thinking of using the Palomino Clinic, to not. If you already are, please find someone new. He is dangerous. He is not a nice person & not the kind of professional you want treating your family pet. The neighbor that recommended him is horrified. Please make the right decision. GOD BLESS!!!

I've taken my pup to quite a few doggy daycares/boarding and Camp Bow Wow EP is our favorite!…read more First day of daycare is FREE, so why not try it?! They have cameras in every room so you can always see what your pup is up to. They start with a slow introduction with dogs, slowly increasing the number in a room to ensure your dog is okay and not overwhelmed. They have a website for easy online booking or an app as well! I love the app as I waste away my afternoons watching the cameras to see her play! Staff has always been so great and my dog LOVES it here!! When you board, you can specify when and how much your dog eats. You can add on services such as one on one interaction time, snuggle, grooming, nail trim, etc! On your first day, you get a welcome packet and photos of their first day! Minnie and me love it here!

Total transparency: I haven't gotten any of their "dog salon" services... yet…read more A doggy daycare seemed like very extravagant extra spending to me until I got a very hyperactive puppy and our Minnesota winter happened. During the summer, spring, and fall she is a-okay because she's walked every single day - but when the walks are shorten because it's 10° we all know what happens. Cue: doggie daycare consideration. They seemed a little understaffed, but hey that's the new normal with COVID. What I can tell you is they average about three dollars an hour with me to take care of my puppy... the same price I'd pay a neighbor kid to walk them - but I get 8-10 HOURS of puppy free time. ... AND puppy is usually completely spent for 10-15 hours after I get her back. She knows exactly what / where Camp BW is and loses her stuff every time we pull up. So - for me five stars. Will update if I get wonky salon services. But for the most part the staff is courteous enough - the hours are right - and it seems to be priced okay. For now I will keep recommending (and budgeting for) CBW for my sanity in our cold MN winter months.

Hugo is a Frenchie, so we've struggled a bit to find a daycare/boarding facility that would be comfortable for my high-maintenance little guy. Well, Lucky Dog exceeds "comfortable" by all of the parameters. The staff treats you like you are family - they go above and beyond for the clients and their fur babies. One example - when I pick Hugo up from his daycare playtime, he stubbornly just lays on the ground outside and refuses to get into the vehicle. The front desk girls (without me even asking them), "escort" us to the car and then Hugo happily jumps in and is ready to be on his merry way (until his next visit). As far as the rating Lucky Dog Pet Lodge is 6 STARS out of 5!!!! Thank you for being part of our lives!
