090219 - VCA VET SURVEY...DUSTY…read more The Vet was very practical for our fixed income situation. She explained all the pros/cons of our Dusty Cat's truly necessary vaccinations [for a indoor 9 yr old cat] without pushing for the usual "all vaccinations must be done". She also provided extensive knowledge on feline respiratory systems, and Dusty's situation in particular. We were able to make intelligent decisions to get the best possible care for Dusty within our financial situation. Granted if we could, all our furrkids would have unending vet care, but instead we provide good food- not the cheap Supermarket brands-and a safe, happy, playful home with lots of love! All our furrkids have been 'cast-a-ways'...(some even chose us!) and our most recent Rainbow Bridge 'crosser', Merlyn, was 22 years old.

I brought my 19 year-old dog in for pain relief, and instead she gave me antibiotics, a cough…read moremedicine and an NSAID. They have not only not helped, but he has gotten worse and now they're closed. I went in asking for pain relief because he is 19. She gave me a hard time about getting something stronger. I understand OPIOIDS are a touchy, subject, but I paid so much money to bring him in for relief and not only did he not get any, but now he's going to die in pain. I'm now driving all the way to Los Angeles. Do yourself a favor, just bypass this Vet and drive the two hours to get real care, especially if it is for suffering or palliative/end of life care

We were very nervous to leave them but she would send us updates and pictures of them every day! They all looked very happy! She had someone else, named Angela, fill in for her during one visit and Angela also did a great job. All in all we were very impressed with Kara's pet sitting! She did a wonderful job and is great with animals! We definitely recommend her!

Extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and consistency from the front office staff…read moreat Thurman Veterinary Clinic. I called around 8:30 a.m. this morning to establish care for my two French Bulldogs and was told that they were accepting new patients but it would be a month out. The receptionist began collecting my information to create patient charts, discussed scheduling appointments for June, and was in the process of preparing the required $40 per pet appointment hold fee when the call was disconnected. When I called back later, a different receptionist informed me that the clinic was not accepting new patients and that I would not be able to establish care there. When I explained that another staff member had literally begun the intake process and was preparing to collect payment for appointments, I was simply told, "I don't know, but we're not taking new patients." The complete lack of communication and consistency was incredibly frustrating. Based on the glowing reviews, I expected a much more professional and organized experience. While I cannot speak to the quality of the veterinary care itself, the customer service and handling of front-office communication left a very poor first impression.

I can't rave enough about Bella and Fernando at Guiding Pets & Parent! We sent our dogs, Saint…read more(6-year-old Rottweiler) and Noah (3-year-old German Shepherd), through their 4-week off-leash/advanced training program, and WOW--what a transformation! Noah was a bundle of chaos, and Saint was well-behaved but needed some fine-tuning. After the training, they're both so much more responsive, well-behaved, and just easier to handle--especially with our 1-year-old baby around. Their confidence and obedience skyrocketed, and we've never felt closer to them. Plus, we learned how to keep up the training at home, which was super helpful! Never thought I'd be able to walk these big boys off leash and have them heel at my side. Bella and Fernando were professional, patient, and clearly love what they do. They kept us in the loop and gave us the tools we needed for success. If you're considering training, DO IT--you won't regret it!

My German Shorthaired Pointer was known to jump fences and couldn't be trusted off leash. After a board and train with Fernando, my dog made incredible improvements. she now walks with me in town and is great on and off leash. I couldn't have imagined a better outcome! I've boarded my dog easily over a dozen times, and they make pick up & drop off so easy. Whether it's an overnight stay or two weeks, I feel comfortable knowing my dog is safe with Guiding Pets & Parents. Traveling without my dog can be so tough, but it makes me feel better when she's SO excited to see Fernando & Bella, sometimes she doesn't even look back at me. I definitely recommend!

Awful. I already told them that she had received revolution at the vaccination center my cat that…read morewas 1 pound. They recommended everything under the sun they gave her capster. Which is not recommended for cats her size and she went downhill from there. I thought maybe she was lethargic from getting dewormed. I didn't know that both of those medication's were not recommended for cats or size. I'm not professional here. I thought I could trust professionals, but my cat went downhill. She did have fleas when I first got her. Her siblings had fleas too. Her siblings were not treated with anything and then doing fine she's gone and I'll never get over it. Don't take your pet here if you want them to live a healthy life. They just want to sell everything to you. Rip Sophie . I love you forever and ever.

The dogs stay outside in large pens and you can pay a little more to have them get some yard time. As far as we can tell they adhere to our feeding cycles and the dogs seem no worse for wet when we pick them up. Overall, the value is good the courtesy is meh but not horrible and they care enough at the kennel to keep my animals healthy.

This has been a stressful year for me as a human, but the bright note in the middle of all has not only been the boarding, but also the training. I now have dogs who respond to commands, walk excellently on leashes and are social with the other dogs. The reason why is simple. Lurine trained them, made them comfortable in their surroundings and kept them together. They have had A+ training and I really couldn't be happier! In fact I'm sad that I'll be moving out of the area, with no one to count on to watch my pups. Cameo Kennels is a bright spot in this little desert town.
