WILL NOT BE BACK. I just moved here and wasn't able to get real world recommendations so I relied…read moreon yelp to help me find a spot for my dog. I was told that my dog WOULD NOT be allowed in "group play" being that he is over 7 months and not neutered. I took him to the vet to get the vaccinations required to be at daycare. At first I was happy to hear that an accommodation could be made for my dog to interact with humans and get out for some potty breaks. I only needed 3 hours to take an exam. I brought in his breakfast and came back 3 hours later to get my dog. When I walked in his food was still out in the lobby.... The employee or owner (unsure) who greeted me asked who I was there to pick up. I told her my dog's name and she said "wow he hasn't been here very long. I haven't gotten a chance to meet him yet." I thought that was bizarre... then what was he doing? 2 days later I received his "report card" which included the photo I posted below. My dog was in fact in group play. Not only could he have gotten another dog pregnant... he came home with kennel cough. Another vet bill later he is okay.... But still. What on earth are they doing in there? How many other "accommodations" are they making that aren't kept?? Maybe another dog didn't need to get a bordetella vaccination and that's how mine came home with it? I don't know but a 30$ stay for 3 hours (including the price to just make an account) plus over $300 in vet bills later. I'm not happy and would never recommend this facility to someone. I truly hope no one came home with puppies because I know that is a lot more than $300. PSA if your dog stayed here on July 14, 2025 they may also have kennel cough or be pregnant.

First, the good: The care itself is amazing. The doctors…read moreare so patient and calm with my two nervous girls, and I've never doubted that they were taken care of to the absolute best of their ability. That's a HUGE plus, as peace of mind is important when choosing a vet. Parking has been really easy in their gravel lots on either side of the building every time I've been there. The bad: While the vets are amazing, the front desk staff is lacking in the customer service department. I try not to judge too harshly in this area normally, but I have consistently been ignored, put on hold for 15+ minutes, and twice forgotten about entirely. I know they're probably busy but it's difficult to call and ask questions, schedule appointments, etc over the phone and seriously cuts back on the convenience factor. The price. I naively assumed all vets offices were at least close in price, so when my past vet in Knoxville charged us $215 for two dogs annual shots, I was shocked when the same shots plus ear drops was $420 here. After asking around, this seems to be at least $100 more than other local vets in this area so we are planning to find a new vet now. Overall: if money is no object and you're patient with the phones, you'll get wonderful care for your pets here!

I arrived 10 min before the appointment, and 59 minutes later, we are still waiting on the vet to come in.

We will not be coming back here again.

Since these are our "kids", we are very particular about who watches them. All of the pets took to her right away! She was down on the floor lovin' on them and didn't even flinch when the Saints slimed her. The first time she came to pet sit, our male Saint was very standoffish, borderline aggressive. Laura stuck with it and now they are the best of friends! We unfortunately had a water leak; she called us right away and helped any way she could since we were out of town. She sends us texts throughout the time she is sitting to let us know how things are going and how the babies are doing. Her prices are very reasonable and competitive with other sitters in our area. It's great not having to worry about home when we're gone! We would definitely recommend her services and will continue to have her sit for us!!
