Dr. Sidorsky saved my best friend's life…read more After having had consulted with our previous vet, and having been provided with questionable advice, I contacted the good doctor in order to seek out a second opinion. He provided me with excellent advice via phone, and after being refused further treatment by my previous vet, Dr. Sidorsky offered to come by my home and provide me with some options. All of our animals, including my sick dog, felt comfortable around him, and he provided me with detailed 1 on 1 instruction in administration of the antibiotics and use of equipment that he provided me. He followed up with me on a daily basis regarding progress, and made a second house call to confirm that my dog's health had improved. At the initial visit, we were discussing hospice and a shot in the dark to save my dog's life. Now we're discussing how much he has improved. His prices were on par (if not lower in some ways ) than my normal vet, and his bedside manner professional and compassionate. I've found my new vet, and am recommending him to all my friends. Having a vet do house call may seem a bit odd at first glance, but I can say from experience that it's my new preference (no more having to load the animal into the car and have them terrified at the smell of the regular vet). Try his service out. You won't be disappointed.

Everyone knows how much I'm obsessed with my dog and how much I care for her! I'm not one to…read morecomplain very often about a business... but this one set me over the edge. Most people know doodles are very hard to care for their hair. I absolutely do my best to care for her. Yes, she was matted, and I was okay with shaving her for the summer and keeping her comfortable. Me and my husband dropped her off, and my husband picked her up because I could not. It cost us 200$!! I know my husband paid the bill he didn't know what to do since I wasn't there to back him up on it. Yes, my doodle was matted, and I was aware, and she needed shaved down. They charge way too much for services they charged 50$ for matting, which she was shaved completely down, so they didn't demat her. She is a 25lb mini golden doodle. Her face is all chopped up uneven cut. Her ears are dirty they were never cleaned, and nails are sharp and not buffered, which was included in the service. Also has razor/clipper burns. I left a review on facebook explaining my opinion and experience. The owner, Danielle, blocked me from the Facebook page, After she came up with every excuse in the book for each complaint I had. She also didn't groom my dog. Our groomer stated my dog did great during the grooming, and Daniemle said she didn't and has video footage, which she will not show me. All I asked was for a refund, and I would be gone. She said no refunds, which is nowhere stated on the website or forms. They offered to fix her, but I refused to go back after they botched her. They also removed my review from google. I also posted a photo of Leela previously groomed at another groomer that was done correctly!

"Over a year ago, I adopted four "unadoptable" ( for various reasons) cats from Ahimsa Haven. My…read moreadoption experience was amazing, when all cat adoptions were under different management. I wrote a five star review for this shelter. I have since deleted it. I even became a volunteer doing background checks with veterinarians and personal references for potential adoptees, because I really wanted to help this organization in what I believed was a heartfelt mission, which at that time it was. I was even asked to become a member of the board because apparently they wanted some fresh new ideas. Well, my fresh new ideas were only acknowledged by one board member, who was not able to influence change up against the other controlling board members. Prior adoption management resigned as a result of their treatment. I resigned as a result of my treatment. Many volunteers have resigned as a result of their treatment. This is not only an insult to people who volunteer their valuable time to help shelter cats, but it is an insult to the cats who need their help. More recently, I was involved in a situation where there was a cat in need. Ahimsa Haven ghosted the Volunteer who was trying to get their assistance to bring this cat into their care. To make a long story short, after ACO involvement, this cat was brought into Ahimsa's care and shortly after, adopted out. Interestingly to me, there was no public posting of this cats's adoption. Ahimsa posts every adoption as a sentiment to all the good they are doing. Why not the same for this cat? Because he came to them under the guise of three former volunteers and not the channel they liked? One of the then current long term volunteers was terminated because they were involved in having this cat brought to them, apparently incorrect protocol by their "rules". Currently, there is a situation in a town, 16 miles from Ahimsa, from where Ahimsa had previously taken in many cats, where about 20 cats are still living in squalor with no one living on the property to feed them. Ahimsa, despite claiming they would take care of any of these cats if they were brought to them, has offered no help in this situation, when their shelter is nowhere near full capacity and the placement need for these cats is urgent. Apparently they are no longer taking in cats from the streets. These are not street cats, they are abandoned cats. So exactly what cats are they currently saving? It should not matter how cats in need of help are brought into the shelter, so long as proper protocol, per Massachusetts law, is adhered to, which it was in these situations. This organization no longer offers to help the cats on the street (in specific and many towns) and there is no sense of urgency to help cats in need, yet the new shelter they acquired stands half empty under the current management. The majority of Board members of this organization appear to be narcissistic, petty, or silent under the control of the two dominant board members, have no appreciation for their volunteers, and do not uphold the mission that they claim to exist for. One of the things I loved about the shelter when I first visited was that so many cats who could coexist were roaming freely. Now all cats are caged. No cat in a shelter/caged environment exhibits their true personality until they come home, realize they are forever home, and understand they never have to fend for themselves on the streets or elsewhere. Shelter cats learn what love, caring, regular food, a warm bed and calm environment mean really quickly when they are adopted into good homes, and become the best pets. Case in point. The president of the Board of Directors recently adopted an otherwise unadoptable cat herself, crediting herself for her sole socialization of said cat. The truth is the current and former volunteers are the ones who spent time socializing this cat. Ahimsa Haven does not deserve to be the interim place these cats spend their time. They treat their volunteers horrendously, yet celebrate the wins of their adoptions. It is the volunteers that go the extra mile to socialize these cats and work with these cats while they are in the shelter environment so that they become adoptable. So, with this review, I want to commend all of the amazing volunteers who put up with the red tape, the criticism, the refusal by management to accept that maybe some of these volunteers have some great ideas, and that maybe they care about the cats more than the shelter "Board of Directors" do, whose mission now just seems to be to "sell" cats ... truly sad. With this said, think twice before you volunteer at this basically two person run shelter, who will treat you like an imbecile, and use you until you are forced to resign, even though it hurts you because you care so much about the cats in their care.

I had such a great experience with adopting 2 kitties through Ahimsa. The foster moms for Ahimsa…read moreare amazing. They treat these animals so well! I lost my cat after 18 years last year. Finally feeling like it's time to be a mom again so reached out on a post through Facebook. The foster mom was so caring and accommodating to us. 2 kitties were a perfect fit for me. They let us decide when we wanted to pick them up to go to their forever homes and gave me samples of what they've been eating so I can get them all set up at home. The cats were already fixed and given vaccines (such a blessing)! I would highly recommend adopting from the Ahimsa family of people that care for these pets so kindly. I had such a good adoption experience. They are a great team! I love my new fur babies and they're doing amazing!

I had about the worst experience you can imagine with this company and I would advise anyone who…read morecares about their animals to stay far, far away. Or at least make sure you have someone else lined up as a backup. DEFINTELY DON'T HIRE THESE PEOPLE IF YOU HAVE ANIMALS THAT NEED MEDICINE. The owner, Becca, talks a big game about the experience of her staff - as evidenced below - but when I hired them to come stay at my house when I was in Europe, they lasted all of three days of the two weeks I'd hired them for, then literally bailed out on me and my animals (cats and horses) - completely leaving me in the lurch with no one else lined up to help care for them. This was because despite their claims to be experienced, they could not get two tiny pills (we're talking pills that are literally 4 mm wide, that are given in wet cat food) down a 17-year-old cat. And then proposed to send the cat to "medical board," which would cost me an extra $60 a day (the petsitters cost $75/day) and probably break my old cat's heart. The whole reason I hire people to actually stay at my house is so my cats get a lot of attention and care, not so they have to be kept in a cage at the vet's for two weeks. I was overseas, six hours ahead of the east coast so it is literally the middle of the night when they announce they are abandoning my animals. Nightmare. Luckily, I have family and friends who live locally who were able to help me out for the rest of the time.
