Absolutely beautiful venue! But ladies, let me warn you, if you're going here for an outdoor…read morewedding, wear flats outside and switch to your heels once you get inside. The gravel leading from where you park to the outside area will destroy your heels. My Louboutin tips were gone from both of my heels and the leather on the heels were shredded. Needless to say, I will be dropping my heels off this week for repair. Also, if this venue provided the cooks for the wedding I attended on 3/23/24, the food is absolutely AMAZING.

Vines garden will always have a special place in my heart. First, we took our maternity photos…read morethere, and then eventually had our wedding there. Overall, the experience was OK for our guest, but working with the coordinators that day of completely abandoned my wishes of having an outdoor wedding due to potential rain, which went from 60% to 20% on the day of my wedding. They would not budge. They would not let me have the outdoor wedding that I had been planning months for. And of course, not a drop of rain happened during the wedding. Overall, the venue is affordable, and I will say decor and flowers are included in your package, which did make it worth it for us. Also, it was right up the street from our house, so for those pros, I appreciate it.

Justin & staff are extremely helpful and informative. I had…read morebeen keeping fresh water tanks for over a decade, until they gave me to courage to start my first salt water tank. It has been roughly 6 months since my salt water tank was started and i have found great success thanks to their advice. They are not out to make a quick buck off you, but are genuinely concerned with the health and success of your fish tanks. The store is always well kept, and staff is attentive. Justin specifically has been wonderful. Even though I am a newbie to keeping salt he always takes the time to inform me on how to tackle issues. He has never been condescending even though some of my questions are a google away. They have become my favorite LFS, and they have gained a loyal customer.

I researched stores of this nature online and was pleased to find the website for Bark Dog Spa. I…read morelive 50 miles away but was going to be in the area so I made a special trip to purchase a birthday cake for my dog. the website boasted an "ever expanding bakery" with treats and birthday cakes. When I entered the store I immediately saw empty shelves and display cases where, purportedly, the bakery items were stocked. I saw no other "boutique items" that were touted on the website. Since the store clearly didn't have what I wanted, I asked the employee if they could recommend somewhere else I could find a dog bakery; "no, sorry, I don't know". I'm willing to accept that a merchant would not want to send business to a competitor, but, this potential customer will not consider returning to this store for anything I the future. I cut people a lot of slack, but when a business owner creates a website to generate business, I find it inexcusable when the website is not maintained with accurate information. I have a large, full coated OES who is groomed professionally once a month; I was considering using the grooming services at Bark Dog Spa, but, this first encounter was so disappointing that I've decided not to do business here.

Drove 3 hours to adopt a dog, very nice place, the animals seem very well taken care of, $150…read moreadoption fee seemed steep but turned out to be a bargain , the dog had all its shots and was micro chipped and had treated with a three month flea treatment .

Pacesetter training was highly recommended to us, so we decided to do the two week training program…read morethat's offered there. All I can say is WOW!

I can not recommend Mike enough! We've been using him for three years to watch our girls (two fat…read morecats) while we are away and it's phenomenal. Before we ever agreed on anything he came by and met our girls and learned the ropes so that we and the cats would be comfortable with him. Mike has never had to tell us no and we really appreciate that. Even the holidays are wide open for him and it's such a relief. I can honestly say that I don't worry about my girls because "Uncle Mike" is gonna come by. The sheer number of different types of pet care he offers is what makes him stand out. Short visits, walks, sleep-overs, he does it all. We only utilize the short visits but if it ever was needed, Mike is the only guy I'd call. You also can't beat the price. We recently went on a week vacation and decided to come back a day early so we let Mike know he didn't need to drop by that day. Homeboy let the cost of the visit roll over to our next use. Considering he could have arranged other pet sitting during that time and thus could have easily made us pay the agreed upon price, he didn't. I was honestly shocked and it really went a long way with me. The bottom line is this: if you need someone to look after you pet while you are away for however long, Mike Sprayberry and his business is the answer. I can not recommend him enough!!!!

We have been using Mike @ Five Points Four Paws for three years now and he is BY FAR the best bang…read morefor your buck with petsitting. He offers more than reasonable rates, excellent flexibility (one of our cats was sick and he went out of his way to make sure she was given the appropriate medicine/food), dependability (even when we scheduled visits when he had t leave town he was able to get a coworker to cover for him), excellent customer service, and he's a natural when it comes to getting along with our girls! He even takes the time to take photos of your pets when visiting! If you're ever wanting to take a vacation and can't bring your pets, consider using Five Points Four Paws. It's significantly cheaper than a boarding home, your pets will be more comfortable in their own home, and you'll save a ton of money!

We brought our 10-month-old standard poodle from Western North Carolina to UGA VTH for evaluation…read moreof a diagnosed bilateral hip dysplasia. The process to secure an appointment is not particularly lengthy but we did have to make our date 3 months in advance. UGA VTH has an emergency department for urgent care cases. Our experience was very satisfying. Dr Timothy Vernier and his student assistant, Lexi, explained what we could expect from our day and after an initial evaluation we asked for a set of xrays so we could have a good starting point for regular annual evaluations to determine the progression of his condition. Our final meeting wrapped up a thorough and, we think, productive day. We found the fees reasonable and comparable to what we paid in the past for evaluations of this kind with other dogs. All in all, we recommend UGA VTH for your small animal's healthcare. P.S. While you're there read the book about the wonderful pets, large and small, furry and feathered, all loved and brought to UGA VTH for treatment.

After researching multiple places we chose UGA Veterinary Hospital and are glad we did. Everyone was phenomenal from our initial contact with Stephanie who was most informative and helpful, to our vet student Riley, and Dr Venier who performed the surgery. We could not be more pleased with the quality of care, knowledge and concern for our dog that everyone demonstrated. This was not an inexpensive procedure but UGA costs were very reasonable compared to other facilities.
