These ladies truly love the animals and provide them with the best care possible as they try and find the perfect families for these animals that have fallen on hard times. My coworkers and I took a group of students here to learn about the animals and the work that goes into running a shelter.

Kelly and the ladies and gentlemen take extreme care with the dogs and cats at Tails of Hope, and it costs a great deal of money to keep a no kill shelter running. Tails of Hope offer boarding to help offset their expenses, on the recommendation of a friend, I boarded my pup with Tails of Hope and my doggie was very happy with her stay, and met a few friends there waiting to be adopted. It was very clean, considerably cleaner than some other facilities I have been to. If you need to board your dog or cat, please give Tails of Hope a call, at least you'll know your money won't be going towards the owner's BMW lease payment, but helping find all these loving animals a new forever home.

The convenient Wheaton location of the facility is great for daycare and they also allow for half-day daycare too. Very flexible scheduling. When I pick my dog up, I can tell that she's received personalized attention from the staff and that she has been well cared for. Often she's been able to work one-on-one with a staff member for nearly all of her half-day session. We also attend the group classes which are incredibly unique and let my dog build up practice interacting with other dogs in a way that reinforce new, good behaviors. My neighbors are thrilled with the progress almost as much as I am - my dog no longer automatically barks at everyone outside now and is able to make new friends. The in home training we did originally was incredibly valuable to get us started on the right foot. We need to do that again very soon! Is it the least expensive daycare and/or training in the area? No. But it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. When I leave my dog in the care of The Canine's Voice I know that she's going to be safe, loved, and will learn a few things while she's there. The classes are incredibly valuable too. The results speak for themselves.

Our Basset Hound boy, Hoss injured his back and our regular vet said that if we opted for surgery,…read moreit would cost us (STARTING) $10K and then the after-care (therapy, medication, etc.) would cost roughly another $15K. He is 9 1/2 and we REFUSED to make him live the rest of his life convalescing from back surgery. My wife researched who to go to for possible holistic treatments, and found Dr. Mullen and as it turns out, she happened to be at Kohn Animal Hospital. Let me start by saying that Dr. Mullen made a HUGE HUGE HUGE and let me say again, HUGE impact on our boy. She started with laser treatments, acupuncture and vitamin B shots at his acupuncture points. She worked with him and after one treatment, ONE TREATMENT, Hoss was acting like his old self. Wanting to run, play with his brother. We had to keep him calm so he wouldn't re-injure himself. Here we are, 4 months later, and he is still doing AMAZING. Dr. Mullen changed our boys life for the better and we couldn't be happier and more pleased with the unbelievable level of care that Dr. Mullen has provided. She shows just how much she cares for each patient. She sees Hoss, she melts to the floor and gives him rubs, hugs, kisses, and is overjoyed to see him. Her expertise and knowledge of the course of treatment that she has recommended and is doing has surpassed our expectations. We recommended Kohn/Dr. Mullen to a dear friend of ours that has a French Bulldog (so does Dr. Mullen) and she was able to diagnose and is in the process of treating his boy's allergies and they are FINALLY under control and his boy is so much happier than he ever was before Dr. Mullen's expertise. We LOVE Dr. Mullen and she is the best vet (besides our regular vet) that we have ever had the pleasure and trust to take our boy to. If our regular vet were to ever close its doors, Kohn and Dr. Mullen would be our number one choice. Dr. Mullen is now more than our Basset boys doctor, she is family to us and we hope to keep seeing her for a long time to come!

This is a long overdue review for K D Nail Trims. Krista did our dog's nails for years. Not once…read moredid we ever receive any paperwork or sign anything. She says our trims expired in 6 months which is absolute hogwash. We would have never have bought a package had we known they expired in 6 months. Our dogs simply have never needed to get their nails cut so often. We had 4 nail trims left onOur package and she would not let us use them. Also she responded addressing me on a review my husband left not me. I would like to add 1/2 the time we would have to leave multiple messages until we got a reply. She could never fit our dog in because she was sick or many other excuses. When she would not honor the remaining nail trims she offered a new package at a "discounted price" which was actually the same price every one else got. I would suggest that people not pay ahead for her services as she is both unreliable and she won't return messages. She also lied quite a few times which we were able to prove by glancing g at her Facebook. I feel like we simply got ripped off by someone who conducted their business very poorly. I would like to add good luck if she ever shows up on time. She was often late or wouldn't show up at all and it was always my fault. This happened multiple times and we never knew if she would be here or not. She would rush in and rush out, not very personable with humans or animals, always in a rush

4greyhoundracers ZERO STARS!!! Stay away from this adoption group! I have been adopting retired…read moregreyhounds since 1998. I have homed 13 to date. I recently lost my male to cancer. I was looking for another pet to adopt for my family and to find my 11 year old senior female greyhound another brother.WeI have always had two greyhounds together because usually when we loose one we adopt another. I contacted 4 greyhound racers and told them exactly what I was looking for, a male that would not be alpha, one that would be laid-back a bit, and one too fit in with an 11-year-old senior hound. I have had older dogs in the past and have actually adopted them at the age of 7, 8 and 9 years old and ones with cancer that no one else wanted I figure they all need to be loved and older hounds can steal our hearts as well as any other age. The group brings you dogs to your home. They expect you to adopt one of them because some of their foster volunteers live quite a distance away and have to travel to your home. They tell you this so from the beginning of the adoption process, you feel a bit obligated to take a dog on that day. They also told me the day they brought them that if somebody returned a dog, they would badmouth them to other groups and make it hard for them to adopt again. My experience with this group was they brought two dogs that I picked out and two dogs that I did not. The first who came into the home brought in by the president of the group. One dog was very, very young she had kept on a leash. I don't think the dog was trusted to be off me. The other one walked around the house and peed three times all over everything. Then the third dog came in he seemed like he was the one I was interested in just by looking at pictures, but anybody knows that when you are going through a greyhound group you never adopted by pictures alone you have to meet the dog and you have to also make sure the dog is going to work in your family. I knew this dog was younger, but by the way they described him between the adoption group and the foster family was that he was pretty laid-back but like to play, etc. We ended up adopting the third dog. He was pretty laid back for around two days by day three he was running through the house , pushing my 11-year-old around and was a horrible fit for our family. I contacted Sue Purdom told her I was having some issues she told me to crate the dog which I really didn't see how this was going to fix things. Maybe prolong them to any time outside the crate I have never created my greyhounds because I never have had to. I've always taught them to get along and respect each other. This was a completely different experience in any of the dogs I have ever adopted. I decided that he wasn't going to work out and it was time to return him. Mind you they had an older seven year-old that was looking for a home, but his name was never mentioned. They went on to tell me well you didn't pick him off the Internet. It's not always up to the adapter to pick a dog off the Internet. It is up to the group to find the correct dog for the family And suggest them. This dog was never mentioned. When I asked if the seven year-old would be a better fit, I was told we don't exchange greyhounds. They basically came took the dog back. Did not refund my $750 and also sent out an email to another group that I was looking into to adopt from. Needless to say I was able to call that group and tell them what had happened. Period. this was by far the worst group I have ever dealt with in my life of adopting greyhounds. It wasn't about getting the correct dog into the home. It was about getting a dog into a home and taking the money. I don't believe this group is all about the dogs. I believe it is all about the money and just getting a dog placed wherever possible. So I give this group no stars not even one. When I spoke to other groups about this and other people who have been adopting greyhounds for many years, they all said this is not the way you go about placing greyhounds. They would have never had a return if they would have got me the right dog. Someone is not doing their job correctly and that is all I really have to say. It is a sad reality in the greyhound adoption world.

Cory is extremely mood dependent and can be super nice or super rude. Nicole is just rude. Nicole let us know they fired Mella, one of our favorite staff along with Lindsay. Also, not sure why Nicole violated the rules by telling me but it felt unprofessional. Expect attitude and brusqueness. Booking Appointments: Normal. Phone calls and you can book online now. Book weeks in advance unless you fight the phone lines for cancellations at 7:30am. Fairly normal for a Vet practice. You can often get lucky if persistent but you must call multiple times until you get through. They have an app that is very helpful and I recommend downloading. Also they do a great job sending reminders and confirming appointments. Location: Off a main street (Skokie Blvd) and Main street. Good location. Nice building. Always clean. Smells nice. They have dedicated parking spaces. Waiting room has ample chairs and space. Cost: General visits for a dog cost me 700-800 with shots. That's crazy!! No sickness. Shots and a check up. So that's insane. They charged me about 4k last summer for what turned out to be allergies treated with cytopoint and a mange pill. Expect estimates to exceed their high cost. Vet tech appointments for fluids are easy and cost effective. Experiences: I went here the first time in 2007/8 and did a vet check and flea check. The doctor said no fleas. Turns out there were fleas and had to deal with more issues and a different vet. I stopped going. After about 12 years I gave them another chance as my previous vet moved. Incidents I've had over the last few years: Told by Dr. Miz my dog Barbara's labs weren't exciting and she was fine. Kept telling him she was lethargic and sick and wasn't herself. Even the staff knew she wasn't herself. He didn't think it was a big deal and I was exaggerating. She was diagnosed with late stage pancreatic cancer the next week by another vet and went immediately into emergency treatment and crossed the rainbow bridge. She suffered for a week due to his misdiagnosis. Exact words on file were "Labs not exciting" Next, took them over six months to diagnose my older dog with senior mange and put him through months of expensive treatments when he needed a pill. It was horrific seeing his hair and face bubble and lose skin. Turns out his chronic kidney disease they were treating him for made hm susceptible. When I adopted a dog from Orphans of The Storm, they did her spay. She came out a completely different dog who couldn't pee the same. I was told by others in the Vet community they do cheaper spays and less anesthesia foe the rescues. What's good? Dr. Stewart is an absolute gem. She is the only reason I kept going after my traumatic experience losing Barbara. Dr. Zoe seems great as well. Dr. Miz....I don't know what to think. Part of me wants to like him because while my first experiences were so awful the lat time I saw him was really kind. He's the owner and he does have a kind face and demeanor. Dr. Zoe is wonderful and a great addition. Seriously great attitude. Bottom line: Roll the dice. You might get lucky for a while if your pet has no issues. If you're pet is sick, well, it's really hit or miss. I am leaving this because thank goodness I've moved states and no longer rely on them for Dante. Dr. Miz, since I know you read this: My advice? Train the staff to just have kindness. You have some awesome people and your vets are great. But we can't get them if your staff makes it uncomfortable to make an appointment or call in. Customer service is really starting to lack and that was never the case before. I really appreciate you for the last time I saw you and felt you were kind. As the owner, maybe you don't know some of this. I would love to have left a better review but I couldn't in good conscious. I hope it does improve because I do believe you love animals and do care and so Dr. Stewart and Dr. Zoe.
