Long long story short: We had taken our dogs to this kennel an hour away from our home, since local…read morekennels were full during spring break. Within an hour of returning home after drop off, we were informed one of our dogs escaped and we had to go back to try and call her back. We decided to leave our other dog there for her to track back to. After 3 days of the stress of her being gone in the wild, and after numerous social media posts of her missing, our family friends who run the Macon County German Shepherd Rescue and their S&R dog "Nose" tracked her down and rescued her... a second time. This same rescue had rescued our pup and her siblings when they were abandoned babies. The kennel workers DID attempt to help in various ways, even driving to our home to retrieve a scent article for the rescue dog. They even refunded the fee for the escaped pup and brought our other dog to our house when we returned home. All ended fine. A special thanks to ALL who responded, put out flyers and attempted to search for her. We have a great local community! Please DO NOT contact this particular kennel with negative comments. This likely was an accidental event and they seemed to attempt to do what they could, despite all the stresses involved. Thanks to them for their attempts to lure her back. Again, please DO NOT bother the kennel with any negativity reactions, they attempted to do what they could. Thanks.

Rippling Water Kennel is a hidden gem! My husband and I traveled for 2 weeks and had to board our…read moredog, Meg. I was very concerned about boarding her for that long, but we went to see Rippling Water and it was clear that the animals there were being well taken care of. David talked us through everything, explained their philosophy that they let dogs be dogs, why they do not let them mix with unfamiliar dogs, and the routine that Meg would have. Most of this I already knew as I had read up on their web page and checked their reviews. I felt very reassured that they were good people that were more than capable of caring for our Meg. Peggy and David's grandchildren helped at the kennel while Meg was boarded there. They sent me pictures of Meg in the play yard with the boys giving her lots of love. I could tell from the pictures that she was content and happy. They also were very responsive and reassuring when I would check on how she was doing. I always got a follow-up picture as well. I have had to leave Meg for a few days at another kennel for work trips, and we always had to let her adjust back to being home and feeling secure that we weren't leaving her again. This time was like we never left, there were no noticeable adjustments that she had to go through when she returned home. She was not on our heals for every turn we took. As a matter of fact, when we got back from our trip and picked-up Meg, she was better behaved and adjusted than when we left her. Peggy and David know dogs and dog behavior, and they do what is best for them, which I attribute to routine and predictable times for needs to be met. We will only use Rippling Water to kennel Meg in the future.

I have to start out by saying... I have gone here for many years, I used to see Dr.Todd, I liked…read morehim due to his experience and his way with all types of animals. And to me it seemed like he really cared. I have recently been here twice and each time was a far from great experience. The pro is that it is clean. Here's the cons.... They are extremely over priced, example to give regular fluids they charged me 61.00! ( for 75 ml, the invoice said 250 ml?) I wish they would have given me the rest since they charged me for it. After I went to another vet and the same exact fluids ( with a little bit more quantity 100 ml, was 18.00!) I don't mind paying for my pet's health but they are just blatantly ridiculous. They are double or more the price of any other. That I do not understand. The two most recent veterinarian's I have seen to me they weren't like the vet I have now, (you can just tell he has a lot of experience and is very confident) I did not get that same feeling with either of them, I brought two different pets in at two different times and left not knowing anything. I left feeling not confident with this vet just like the time before with another vet there. She also wanted to take blood work because she couldn't say what it might be without blood work... so I go and visit another vet the next day for a second opinion and he said that blood work is NOT necessary at this time. So to me they either are not confident in their knowledge or they want to run up the services, either way is not comfortable to me. The last vet I saw there scared me to death telling me so many horrible things it "could be" and like I said I went to someone else the next day and he told me the opposite, thank God he was right! This clinic has always been high priced but at least when Dr.Todd was here it was worth it, not anymore.
