I have been coming to Alicia with my dogs for years. My dog's last appointments has made me no…read morelonger allow Alicia to groom my dogs. I will no longer give my business to A & L Purr D Paws. My one dog gets a close shave every time but when I brought her home I noticed she had patches of redness on her skin. My dog was in distress because she had a huge irritated red patch on her back and she couldn't scratch it. This has never happened to my dog before so I had no idea why this suddenly appeared on her skin. My other dog had an appointment a few weeks later and when I brought her home she started squinting her eye and wouldn't open it. I thought maybe she had a hair in her eye so I flushed her eye and watched her for a few hours. My dog started showing signs of pain and she was keeping her eye completely shut. I immediately took her to the vet ER and I didn't care that it was midnight by the time I arrived I just knew something was wrong with my dog. The vet took her back to put dye in her eyes to see what he could find and what he found shocked me. He said she had three serious cuts in her eye. A cut that reached behind her eye, one on the front of her eye and a hole in her eye the size of a pea and these injuries started to form ulcers. I told him she was at the groomers earlier and he said that was the answer to my dog's eye injury. He said had I not rushed to the ER my dog could've either lost her eye sight or it could've ruptured causing her to lose her eye. I had contacted Alicia and the next day and told her what had happened and Alicia denied everything. She argued with me over the phone and even argued with my sister. She didn't believe that I took my dog to the Vet ER at midnight and demanded that she call them herself to see if it was true. I told Alicia I would bring her the paperwork proof of me going there, what it showed when her eye was dyed, the photos of my dog, and the amount I spent to help her get all these tests done. Even still Alicia said it's not possible for ulcers to form in that short amount of hours yet she admitted that she's no vet and she wouldn't know but she believes that ulcers cannot form that quick. I again said I would bring the proof to show that it does form that quick. I brought Alicia all of the paperwork from the vet ER and she said she would pay the bills but she's been doing this for 20 years and she has never harmed a dog. She was giving me attitude and being so rude that it honestly shocked me because she's never spoken to me this way. My other dog still had an upcoming appointment with her and I told Alicia I wanted to cancel it and again Alicia was rude about it. Alicia has lost my business permanently and sadly I cannot even imagine what my dogs went through. The vet said with the first cut my dog would've shown a reaction to it so for my dog to have three cuts, he told me he himself cannot even think about what my dog went through. Please do your research about a groomers business before you bring your pets to them and also if you notice the attitude of the owner, please let that say something to you.

Feather Ranch Kennels -- I'm very concerned about the way the dogs are being kept. These dogs are…read moreused for training and duck hunting, but they are housed outdoors in wire-mesh kennels that are approximately 2 feet by 6 feet. They sleep in large plastic containers rather than proper doghouses or enclosed shelters. During the summer, temperatures in this area can reach around 105°F or higher. Although the kennels have metal-sheet roofs, the dogs are still exposed to extreme outdoor heat. From what I have personally observed, I'm concerned that the shade and shelter provided are not adequate to protect these animals from dangerously high temperatures. Regardless of whether these dogs are used for hunting or training, they deserve proper protection from extreme heat and adequate shelter. I believe the conditions should be inspected by the appropriate animal welfare authorities.

Yes, it has been a while for a review, but now I have a good reason to write one!…read more Had a really hard time finding a barn in my local area that fit my needs which I found surprising since the valley, I assumed, would have a reasonable amount of good boarding facilities just like LA did. Well, not so much. Even though this IS the land of agriculture there just do not seem to be many places, or if there are, they are not advertised properly and one will never find out. I didn't need a training/show barn, but a location with amenities such as turn out, arena and trail access. But I found so much more at Krogh Ranch! The stress of keeping my horse at a personal property location and his care were completely overwhelming me as they were not meeting our needs. Since I work in LA still once a week out of the month, being so far away and worrying about him was driving me and my husband crazy. By chance I happen to find a note on the board of our local feed store of a newer place that was holding a very cool event with training demos, yoga for your horse, dental, all sorts of cool stuff, a BBQ and raffle with prizes. Now this was starting to sound more like a place I'd feel comfortable having my sweet horse/child Easter at! We drove out immediately and after wandering around looking at the facility we were greeted by the husband of the duo. Gave us a tour while the clinic was going on and was so friendly! The facility itself is top notch. Lots of boarding space and room, one LARGE round pen for turnout, two smaller ones for turnout, pastures, an open ring for barrels/jumps, a massive COVERED barn and access to trails and miles of farm roads to meander down including the beautiful Bear Creek. The ranch is gated for everyone's safety and horsey security. A secure tack room and bathroom to boot. They also make sure all horses are vaccinated before coming onto the property, that they are shod on a regular schedule so that they know YOU are a responsible owner as well. Lisa, and now Easter's auntie as I call her, is so committed to everyone's horse care and owner satisfaction. Her many years of experience in boarding and love of horses really shows through. My silly horse cut himself recently as he cast himself rolling when I was in LA for work and she handled the whole emergency scenario for me until I could return a few days later. I am SO confident in her and her husband's care of my horse I never panicked. I was more worried about her being worried and she was! So, do NOT fear if something happens to your pony as we know they all find trouble, your horse's care is their #1 priority! Lots of additional services offered too like fly mask, turnout, mare & foaling care,training and of course med attention if you need assistance with meds/wraps. I can't express how thankful I am to have found this place, not stressing or worrying about your horse is so critical to being a happy horse owner! Also, all the boarders are so welcoming and many have been there FOR YEARS! That is a true testament to Krogh Ranch! :) Give them a call, you and your horsey will NOT be disappointed! Visit their FB page for more info! They also have a few cows and calves on the property, great things for your horse to learn about if they've never been around them like mine! Where else are going to feed a baby calf! :) http://www.facebook.com/KroghRanch
