    Thanks to Katie and all her staff. They are always so good to my dog Lil Bit. They come out to greet us with smiles . They wash him, cut his nails and I also have him boarded while I take a vacation. Last week I had a handyman come and I took him to day care. Lil Bit can be a handful as he is a chihuahua terrier . KUDOS to Creatures Great and Small!!!

    First off they take Covid precautions! Second we are picky about our two standard golden doodles and have tried several different groomers. I'm writing this review because I know how hard it is to find the perfect match. CGS does amazing work! My dogs are not easy to groom because of their curly fur. It takes professionalism, training and experience. I've had my girls come from other groomers cut by blades because they'd rather shave, or their fluffy tails completely shaved off. CGS take the TIME to brush and 'fluff' them. CGS seems to have that extra touch needed on dogs with special coats. They come home super soft and smell amazing!! The staff is super friendly, personable and well knowledgeable. Drop off is flexible. I highly recommend them and know my girls are in great hands while there. Pictures are from two different time.

    Rude person answering phone. Snarky reply when asked about their services. Could be a bit nicer when talking to people asking questions.

    Disorganized and Frustrating Experience…read more I recently took my dog to Pet Paradise for a four-day stay because my regular kennel was full. This was my backup option, and I was hesitant from the start--looking back, I should have trusted my instincts. The lobby was crowded, with only one person handling the desk and phones while several customers waited. Usually, there's an older woman who checks us in, and she is always very friendly. She wasn't there when I checked in this time, although I did see her later when I returned to speak with the manager. When it was my turn, I asked if I could email my dog's medication instructions since the staff member, initially nice, was overwhelmed and didn't give me a form. I sat in my car and emailed all the details as requested. Later, she called to say she couldn't access the email. I offered to provide the info again, but she insisted I hadn't filled out a form (which I never received), and she raised her voice, talked over me, and didn't listen. The conversation became tense and confusing, so I decided to pick up my dog. When I explained to the manager what happened--including the issues with emailing and the staff member's attitude--she simply said, "That doesn't sound like something she would say." Instead of acknowledging any possible miscommunication or offering to make it right, she just defended her staff. This was a bad experience. I did not feel comfortable leaving my dog there after all that, and I would never return or give them my business.

I…read morecall the practice first thing in the morning and was told the Dr. was too busy to see him. To go over to Greenbrier Emergency Veterinarian. No warning about how expense Greenbrier would be. The cat got good care at Greenbrier but was not prepared for how expense it would be. Payment needed to be made in advance before any care was given. Had to run home and get another CC that I don't normally carry with be. The practice is open late Friday - Monday 7:30 AM. Had to pick the cat up Monday morning doing a snow storm still with catheter sticking out his rear. Then take him to properly only vet open doing the snow storm. They keep him while I waited half a day in the lobby. Was told best to keep the catheter in for 48 hours. Cost at Greenbrier $2,900 and another $350 at Meadow Creek. I ask them if I came to them first what the charge would be for the same procedure. Was told $700. At Greenbrier I was also told that my cat may need to go next store to the specially surgical veterinarians for a future procedure . That they were the only ones that did that procedure in our area. Cost would be about $5,000. At Meadow Creek they told me that they could do the same procedure and cost would be about $2,000. They put the cat on a special diet and medicine so hopeful he will not need to have it done. Can not say enough nice thinks about Mesdow Creek and staff. I expect that they will be my new veterinarian. Finale thought my father was a veterinarian and I use to help him out at his practice. I know a few things about the business.

Instead of support, we felt judged and pressured, which made an already heartbreaking decision even harder. Families deserve empathy at such moments, not guilt. Will not return and do not recommend.

I made an appointment specifically about my dog's chipped tooth because the website says "complete dental." I paid $80 to be told that they do not handle chipped teeth. They told me they'd call me for referrals, but it sounded like I'd probably have to go to some special place out of town that I logistically couldn't go to any time soon. They also never called with referrals. So I waited and worried for weeks about his tooth that I had wanted to take care of quickly. Two months later they call and say actually they CAN handle chipped teeth (?????). So I take my dog in again and someone finally looks at the tooth. He says he's actually not sure whether it needs to be extracted, but they'd do an exam and decide based on X-rays. they end up extracting the tooth and when I pick up my dog I ask why they made that decision. Nobody there can tell me, so I ask to get a call about it. Instead of that, I'm charged extra to talk to the doctor a week later when my dog comes in for his postop checkup, so instead of a 5 min call I had to pay another $80 when at this point I've already paid them ~$1000. I wasn't warned about this and I think I should have been. I would have said no. I believe I paid more than I should have had I been given information I requested over the phone, and more than once I was waiting for a call that I never received. My dog seems bothered by something in his mouth now, I assume related to his tooth, and if I bring him somewhere it won't be here.

    Samantha at Pawville did a fabulous job grooming my miniature poodle today…read more My little guy is disabled and does not have the use of his hind legs. This means that many groomers are not willing to take him on since he can't stand on his own. But he's used to being groomed and the groomer where I used to live always told me that he was sweet and well-behaved. Samantha was just wonderful with him today. I was very nervous because of terrible experiences with other groomers in the area that I had tried. But Samantha was very patient and listened attentively to all my concerns. She was ready to take him when I walked in and he was ready to go at the exact time she told me he would be ready. Pricing was in line with what other's have charged. Pawville's new location at 3048 C Berkmar Dr. is super clean and is in a great, easy to reach location. So happy that I finally found a groomer I feel I can trust. Thank you, Samantha!

Very receptive to tweaks when we decided we liked his ear fur shorter and head less round. and now as a repeat customer, they know exactly what we want which is super helpful so either me or my husband can do the drop offs without having to attempt to describe what he should look like instead of the overgrown fluff ball standing in front of them.
