When we planned our vacation, we set up a trial day to see how our baby would act staying there, and after hearing she did well, we booked her stay.

In every photo Bailey looked very happy and we will definitely will be using their service again!

We took our dog to this hospital for a rabies injection. She developed a lump at the site, and when…read morewe returned to have her looked they said it wasnot a problem. The lump grew larger.We brought her back again. They dismissed us again. As a result of this, our dog developed an aggressive hemangiosarcoma cancer at that site, and lost her leg and now has a very short life expectancy, perhaps only a few months. The last thing I remember them saying when we brought her back for the second time was "what do you want me to do about it?" The callousness and the ignorance resulting in this devastating diagnosis is unimaginable.

The staff is very nice, but I was not pleased with the care provided my dog. I'm sure they're fine…read morewith a normal dog, but my dog has special needs that I felt were not taken care of. Maybe the problem lies in their definition of a "walk" and mine. I asked that the daily 30 minute activity be a walk, which they charge $25.00 for. If my dog doesn't have at least one "walk" per day, his digestive system shuts down. I walk him 3 miles per day to keep him regular, but expected at least one walk, on leash, to minimize the affects on him. I also expected a stress response but when they sent me a picture of him on day 2, I knew he was in trouble. Joe, the GM, called me after I sent an email discussing my disappointment and we had a productive conversation, and I had decided not to do this review. But then Robin, the owner called, to justify that they did nothing wrong and actually tried to blame it on my dog. That changed it for me. I'm sure if you have a dog with no special needs that they are fine, but beware if you have a dog that isn't normal. Make sure you talk to Joe so he understands what you expect from the visit and you may have a better outcome than mine.
