Fiona - spa day!
Beth T.

Jess does a great job keeping Fiona looking stellar - Golden retrievers can get pretty mucky, with mattes behind their ears and hairy paws. Fiona goes in wagging her butt and comes out smelling and prancing like a pony! Thank you Jess and the rest of the Bigger Road Staff for taking such great care of all our pups - Bigger Road, Better Life!

A walk in the park!

Bigger Vet has the BEST trainers/programs - I would give them 10 stars, if I could! Olivia, Abby, and Katie are extremely knowledgeable in puppy/dog behavior and positive training methods - they speak D.O.G. :) Their creative and fun lessons all focused on positive reinforcement and consistency - Fiona and I have so much fun learning! Raising a adolescent pup isn't easy, but their Montessori classes and workshops are helping us raise a well-adjusted pup! Thank you - Highly recommend for the entire family!

Two of the best dogs ever, cared for by Bigger Rd Vet Clinic. These 2 (3 if you include the human) are daily runners; BRVC understands!

So, we have had dogs (and a cat for a while) for the past 25 years. Additionally, we've lived all over the world with the military. Bigger Road Vet Clinic is turning out to be one of the two best vets we've had in 25 years. First, our initial appointment was quite long but they went over all Maggie and River's information/medical history. Next, they lined up all the vaccines as they'd been about 3m off from each other. Third, Dr. Oakes gave us multiple options regarding food, flea/tick/worm prevention, etc. Most of the options were significantly cheaper than our current plan. Erica (VT) and Dr. Oakes were outstanding and took excellent care of our pups and we felt very comfortable with both of them. But wait, there's more! They have an online pharmacy which turns out to be cheaper for many things than 800PetMeds. And today? We find they've set us up on Petly.com and we have access to our pets' medical records!! Amazing. We are very happy with them so far!

Rosie is our beautiful kitty, who is not really fond of dogs!

For more than 25 years, we have trusted our pets' health to Bigger Road Veterinary Clinic. All of the veterinarians are intelligent, caring professional doctors, and Dr. Blakelock and Dr. Coe are two of the many top notch veterinarians that we have visited. At this time, we have one cat and a dog, but we had three cats before our new family, and they each lived well into their late teens, and one lived a happy life for 21 years. We thank Bigger Road Vet for their guidance and their professional services over the years. It is also very convenient that they have two locations: Kettering and Springboro. Our cat is a shy 7 year old healthy beauty, and our dog is a two year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Adopting a dog was new to us, and Bigger Road has provided for Charlie's health, her training, her socialization (wonderful day care, Erin!), her insurance, her medications, and her grooming (thanks Jessica!)!

Rest in Heaven Luna. We love you and miss you so much.

We recently had to put our beloved senior Border Collie to sleep. It was without question the hardest thing we've ever done and the worst day we've ever had. They were very patient and sympathetic and they didn't rush us. We were there a long time. Even after our Luna was gone we stayed with her awhile. They did her paw prints for us and put her in a respectful white bag for us to take her home and bury her in. Someday we'll have a new Border Collie and we'll take her there because they really care about the animals and the people.

Dr. Talmadge and the staff at Bigger Road Veterinary Clinic takes exceptional care of our sweet dog. Words can not express my sincere appreciation of the way they take care of her and help ease my anxious thoughts when she is ill. This is the BEST experience of all of the years being a pet owner I have ever had. Thanks again for everything. At 14 years old Konamalia is doing great!

Great experience. Uses food and treats to an extreme but kept the pup occupied while basic evaluations were completed.

For the sake of your animal's health, keep looking for a better vet. I wouldn't let these people trim my dog's nails.

Do they treat many guinea pigs?

Hi LeeAnn, Unfortunately, we don't treat exotics. Only dogs, cats and some pocket pets. Thank you… Read more

Moved to the Kettering area last year and then work was super busy and then the holidays... I just…read morelost track of time and my 7-year-old Great Pyrenees was matted and dirty and uncomfortable. I took him to Kenzie's K9 Design (who was VERY responsive to Yelp messages for a quote) and they did an absolutely phenomenal job. I told them I was okay with even shaving him (regardless of that not being ideal for double coated dogs) because of how matted he was in spots. They didn't need to! They gave him back to me happy, clean, trimmed, and with all his undercoat blown out. By far the most thorough grooming he's ever had because even a week later he's not shedding everywhere like he did even after a trip to our old groomers. I will most definitely be bringing him back for his next grooming sesh.

This is probably the worst groom I've ever seen and my dogs have ever received. The cuts are…read moreuneven; there are full patches of hair that were missed that can be EASILY seen; the nails are all uneven; the pads and paws weren't addressed at all. My two small dogs are incredibly well behaved, ESPECIALLY at the grooming salon. They've both been getting groomed professionally for 2 & 6 years. Their normal groomer just graduated from college and accepted a job in her field and my dogs needed some TLC ASAP. Kenzie's had same day availability and now I understand why. I dropped my dogs off at about 11:15 am and received a call at 1 pm that they were ready--THE fastest groom I have ever witnessed. I picked them up and was stunned. After getting them home, I realized they were still dirty. My dog gets anxious and poops when he's in new places--there was still poop on his butt & tail from when I dropped them off less than 2 hours earlier. I immediately sent photos and videos to my long-time groomer and she assumed I groomed them myself. She was SHOCKED to hear that I paid for these services and started noticing that they didn't even look like they were cleaned or even. I've tried calling the salon to discuss these issues but have been unable to reach them. I'm absolutely appalled at this service and would never recommend anyone take their dogs to this establishment.

Have used Poochie Bath for years. New ownership shocking. Took my 3 pups, and due to their…read moreinability to flex their schedule my pups did get mats, After dropping them off I got a call that it would be $25 per dog extra due to matting. I said the prior owner never charged extra, was was informed that she is no longer the owner and, their words, the TORCHURE they would put my pups through costs extra. WHAT? I suggested they cut the mats close and a few weeks later we could groom them as normal. They refused and told me to pay the extra amount or come pick them up. Well, I don't pay the normal amount and expect them to be TORCHURED much less pay more for that. I picked them up. . Please, if your dogs are anxious about going there, maybe they aren't being taken care of the way they should. If I could rate less than a 1 I would.

Absolutely do NOT take your furry children here. You trust that they are taken care of, and you…read morewould be mistaken. We have brought our dog there a few times now, and this time our dog went on a near death adventure. After handoff of our dog with the young blonde employee with our dog in our walker harness and leash, we went to the car to unload the 2nd dog, and instead had our 1st dog go darting across the parking lot. No lease, no collar, no harness. He then proceeded to run terrified through the huge parking lot and across 4 lanes of busy traffic on Indian Ripple Rd. The employee then stood on the sidewalk and said 'oh, he won't come back to me' and just stood there. We were finally able to find him and corner him in a back yard nearby (after hurting ourselves to get to him with the fence). The staff absolutely did not give a damn about the safety of our dog, didn't make any attempt to get the dog after their negligence, and then acted like nothing happened (nor were they in the wrong). If our 2 year old, 30lb pup was hit by a car this would be an EXTREMELY different conversation, police report, and insurance claim.
