Prelude Dog Kennels - David Swartwood has a severe anger issues, he does not conduct himself in a…read moreprofessional manner. His way of training dogs is with treats, this is fine if your dog goes for treats. There is no benefit if your dog will not work for treats. You pay for a 6 week course and your informed after the 3rd week, that he is away for a week, pick up your "homework", so it is really a 5 week course. It is my opinion that David Swartwood should not be allowed around people or dogs until he gets his anger issues figured out and is able to control himself. Plus, there was no bathroom to use at this facility, no running water for dog, and you are put in a large dome with no air movement. It is extremely hot for your dog and for people. I do not suggest training in this place.

Dr. Edwards went above and beyond, consulting specialists, calling labs, and doing research to figure out what was wrong with our cat. We never received a bill for all this effort. She clearly laid out which tests were most urgent, which could wait, and recommended the most cost-effective tests to try to rule out possible diagnoses before moving on to the more expensive tests. When we finally received a diagnosis, she spent a lot of time working with a specialist in Toronto to come up with a treatment plan and researching special foods (kangaroo meat). Always available by email and phone, the team was quick to answer our questions, checked in with us frequently, and taught us to administer medications at home, even though it took a few visits for us to master the techniques. Now that we have left Kingston, we are struggling to find a new vet as competent and compassionate as Dr. Edwards. The team at Barriefield sets a very high bar.

If you leave your dog with them, write down every detail of how you want it groomed.

In current vernacular it would be termed a cluster f * * *.

Looking for a private vet, rather than a conglomerate, the team at Bath Road Animal Hospital said they would do the surgery. Dr Samir Youssif & his team, which includes Gloria and Jaclyn, were caring and professional. Follow up was needed and every visit was better than the one before. A care plan was given and followed up on, details were worked out so that everyone was on the same page. They were a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend.

Returned months later with a very ill dog and was advised it would take $2,000 to conduct tests. They were nice enough to sell me $350 worth of ineffective medication. My dog soon died and I informed them of this. I was surprised to receive an email from them the following day asking me to review their service. It informed me that my pet's health is their primary concern and concluded by saying something to the effect of "have a nice day and we look forward to seeing you and your pet soon". This appears to be a very cold, disorganized clinic.

She was a brand-new patient and needed quick action. The wonderful team and Dr. Farooq accommodated her in a timely fashion, made her feel comfortable and gave her a rigorous physical examination. She was able to have an x-ray immediately, which detected that her digestive system had stopped working. After more review by a radiologist and testing, Dr. Farooq had a hunch that it may be a reversible condition despite not showing the full suite of symptoms. He was right. An additional test proved it and she improved immediately after great treatment and monitoring. He also caught a treatable painful spinal condition that we assumed was just aging. She will be more comfortable during her remaining years. My family feels fortunate we went to GRAH because the outcome could have been very different without the diagnosis. In addition to great care and diagnostics, Dr. Farooq thoroughly explained the costs and took care to limit any unnecessary costly procedures. Thank you GRAH team!

Having asked for a specific length of cut to cover up my dog´s numerous skin lesions, she ignored my request and gave him her default summer cut. He seems sad after the time spent with her and looks pathetic with all his warts showing. Plus the cut itself is ugly. If I wanted my dog to look like this, I could have done it myself. I'm giving two stars instead of just one because she provided some useful information about one of his lesions. I will not be using this service again.
