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.

In Oct of 2025 in the afternoon one of my dogs started having severe stomach issues. I called VCA…read morean asked if I could bring her in and that I thought it was an emergency as the dog was shivering. They turned me down flat, even though I'd been a regular customer for years. I ended up taking my dog to Bishop, CA which is around 100 miles away. The vet there stayed late, did a thorough exam and gave a shot and meds. Subsequently I said, no more VCA. However the other day my wife made an appointment for nail clipping at VCA for both dogs and a sanitary trim of one of my dogs. When I arrived, I was informed they were understaffed and wouldn't do the sanitary trim. They then took each dog away for 10 minutes, brought them back and said they 'd clipped the nails. I then paid the bill of 76 dollars, got in my car and drove home. When there, I examined each dog. There was no evidence of anyone having clipped nails on either dog. At this point, I just don't feel I can trust VCA with the health and wellbeing of my dogs, and as a result, I'm not having anything to do with them.

I was specific of all the areas of concerns with Jay during the evaluation. He recommended four sessions for Jazz. At first I thought no way will this Boxer be corrected with four sessions. To my surprise I quickly learned otherwise. First session Jay addressed the running out the front door when opened. Jazz immediately obeyed Jay and myself. So impressive! Second session we needed Jazz to sit on his bed during breakfast & dinner. While his owner in a wheelchair enjoys his meals. Jay accomplished that in half the session. Third session was walking. Being able to keep Jazz on my side and from growling at other people or dogs. In one session Jay empowered me to lead Jazz. A big task for some of us women who struggle with being pack leaders. Jazz and I have been enjoying some lovely walks. Thank you Jay!!! Fourth session was calling Jazz in from backyard. Jazz did well with Jay. That is something I am sure I will master shortly! If not, I now have a dog expert to reach out to for help. Jazz was so excited to see Jay on a weekly basis. Jay was so loving and it made me realized I was not loving with Jazz. He is not my dog but my clients. However, I have started to love on him. This way he feels he belongs to someone and that he is loved. This poor dog came from the shelter during COVID. I have no idea what life he had before. However, now Jazz is living his best life ever thanks to Tails of Success. I have always felt professional dog trainer have. value. This recent situation has re-enforced their value based on their experience, quick results, and in home training. I highly recommend this experts. Side note: make sure you do your homework daily to reinforce all Jay's teaches your pet. This way you too will be a happy client with a happy pet.

We kept up with training honestly not every day. This weekend I was hiking alone with Racker in the hills above LA. I tripped and fell down a mountain breaking 3 bones. I was unable to climb up the rocks to make it out and had to be rescued by fire fighters and paramedics. They had to hike in and carry me out. All I could think of is how horrible it was going to be because Racker would become reactive and act aggressive in the situation. Instead because of his training he stayed in down the whole time. He barked once when they stabilized my leg and I screamed. After they picked me up he calmly let someone lead him out with me. If you are on the fence about training do it! You never know when an emergency will happen. The guys all praised how well behaved Racker was. I cannot thank Nick and Kassie enough. You really changed our life

Neptune and I went through the Standard Package training and it has been an amazing experience. My only regret is that I didn't start the training sooner. I feel like I have a new confident dog. I take him for walks every day, he's crate trained and he can hang out in the front yard without running away. Nick and Kassandra are great trainers, very well organized and extremely knowledgeable. The studio is always clean and a very comfortable place to bring you dog. I recently got a new puppy and have been able to apply what I learned to him and he is doing great as well. Training is such a great investment into your dog and makes a world of a difference. I recommend Nick and Kassandra at Elevated Canine to everyone with a dog.

The training gave us lasting results, not just short-term fixes, and that's made all the difference. If you're looking for a place that stands by their work and genuinely invests in your dog's long-term success, this is it. Highly recommend!

Over the summer I met with Jesse and Miguel who worked their magic and transformed my pup from a jumper and biter to a calm companion who now understands the importance of following my lead. The most shocking lesson was that I paid good money to train my pup but it turned out I needed to be trained as well. Jesse talked to me about all the tough stuff I didn't want to hear, but they showed me how to be a real leader. I will definitely be booking my next session to take things to the next level and get my pup to walk next to me without a leash. If you're ready for a change and are willing to do the work I highly recommend Off Leash L9 Training you and your pup will build an amazing bond.

I knew I couldn't keep Marina home with my other two dogs because I hadn't socialized them yet. Breanna was recommended to me by the Rescue that I got Marina from. Although I was nervous about leaving my new girl with a stranger, Breanna wasn't a stranger after my first meeting with her. Her philosophy's on dog care and training were exactly what we needed. I also felt comfortable asking her questions and suggestions on some skin issues that Marina was having. Knowing that she had been a Registered Vet Tech made me feel comfortable taking her advice. Marina stayed with Breanna during the day while I was at work for about 2 months. She gained social skills while interacting with her family and other dogs. She actually bonded with her cat.

If you closed your eyes, you wouldn't even know dogs were being bathed there. The day before our appointment, they called to confirm. When I arrived with Natasha and Jasper, they took the time to explain exactly how their services worked and asked detailed questions about the haircuts I wanted. To my surprise, they finished quicker than expected, and both dogs came out looking absolutely gorgeous complete with a bandana and a flower. I can't recommend The Dog Haus enough.
