I received updates and pictures everyday. I could tell the staff cared for my dogs, as if they were their own fur babies! Their communication and flexibility made the boarding process so easy. I will be sending my dogs here every time!

So grateful to have found this dog ranch run by Krista and her staff! A neighbor recommended her to…read moreme. This was only the second time I had to board my unsocialized pup. I was so nervous but Krista was so welcoming and is practically an expert at interpreting dog behavior. I loved that we were able to do a meet and greet before my pups stay. She introduced her wonderful dogs to our dog and quickly determined our pup would be a good fit. She gave us a tour of the the dog ranch which was impressive. I was relieved my pup would have is own large temperature controlled room to sleep in. Their dog ranch is very organized, they have an excellent system in place and routine for the dogs, lots of play time! I love that the dogs can all play outside, and that I was sent pictures of my happy dog daily. When our stay was prolonged one day, Krista accomodated us and our pup was able to stay an extra night, I would recommend bringing extra dog food in case you may return a day later than anticipated. I liked that we were able to bring our pups kennel that he loves to sleep in and his bedding. My dog has some anxiety so Krista recommended bringing boiled chicken and rice in case he didn't want to eat, that was a great idea and I love that they have a fridge to keep pets food as well. I would definitely recommend Ballypines dog ranch to anyone who wants their pet to be well cared for. It was good to not be stressed about my pups stay away from us, I completely trust them with caring for my dog. I also like that they require dogs to have all shots including the flu vaccine, bordetella vaccine and a recent fecal/stool test. In this regard it may cost more than other dog boarding facilities (that's because this is nothing like your typically dog boarding facility ) and is definitely worth it so you know your dog is less likely to get sick during their stay. My pup was so tired for two days after he returned home because he had a blast playing all day! We are looking forward to his next stay!

We've been working with Dan and Jeanine at Blue Sky Farms since 2005 when they helped us purchase…read moreour first German Shepard. This is when they just had their house and a bunch of land. Since then, they helped us train her and train our 2nd Shepard in Schutzhund training by Dwayne. Dwayne can train any type of dog to track or protect, pretty amazing! Annnd, they've vastly expanded their dog kennel and horse area. The dog kennel is huge! Spots for the dog inside and outside. They have a huge social area, so when you drop your dog off (assuming they are not aggressive) they can have a fun time with other 4 leggers! We've left both our dogs with them and have had great experiences every time. As far as their grooming goes = top notch! Today we dropped Chief off in the morning to get his Easter/Summer Beach bod showing! Pants shortened, nails clipped and pruned and ready for the Easter ladies! He looks great. There is no other place in Hampton Roads we trust more then Blue Sky Farms!

I have been taking my pets to the main Kempsville location of Acredale Animal Hospital for over 25…read moreyears but this was my first visit to the Great Bridge location. I decided to come to this location because I could get an appointment a few weeks earlier than at Kempsville. I am very happy that I decided to try the Great Bridge location and think I will continue to come to this location even though it's a little more of a drive from my home. This location is very small compared to the Kempsville location but feels more friendly and comfortable, it has a small town independent vibe that I like. I never felt rushed and didn't have to spend much time waiting. My Basset Hound was actually seen a few minutes before her scheduled appointment time. The staff is awesome and Dr. Alex provides great care. She's not shy about getting down on the floor to examine my dog and takes the time needed for a thorough assessment. Her knowledge and professionalism are much appreciated. The small private parking lot is more than adequate for the business and is not crowded like the one at the Kempsville location. There was plenty of room to easily park my vehicle. The pavement doesn't look fresh or new but it is clean and free of debris. I am very happy I tried the Great Bridge location of Acredale Animal Hospital. I now consider it my first choice when my pet needs care.
