I would have to agree with all of the other reviews here that Kristin is a god-sent and you should…read moreabsolutely put her #1 on your list in your search for pet care if you live downtown. Here is why. 1. She loves animals. She has her own pets who are more than well-cared for and she will treat your pet like one of her own. 2. She understands dog behavior. She uses cruelty-free methods of correcting your pet and offers lots of praise when they do something right. She understands that dogs are dogs and let's them do their thing. I go to her first when I have questions about my pup because she is so knowledgeable. 3. She goes the extra mile. If you live downtown she will come and get your pet. If your dog is sick she will take him to the vet. She will check your stove for you when she comes to get ur dog, it's like having a friend you know you can count on. 4. She is completely transparent in her business practices. You can actually come and see where the animals rest, where they play, what toys they use ect. I have been to many doggy daycare centers where they won't let you back to see these areas... um... sketchy? Her space is COMPLETELY puppy-proofed and she watches the pets closely. 5. She is incredibly flexible with special diets, medications, changing feeding schedules, ect. As a rule of thumb she only feeds healthy whole nutrient snacks like carrots and green beans, but if you want your dog to have something special she will follow it. I will not trust my precious Bazzy with ANYONE ELSE. We are so blessed to have Kristin in our lives!!

We brought our 1 year old German shepherd mix in who was very anxious and skittish. He is a rescue who was terrified of all loud noises and any object he didn't immediately recognize. He would cower at strangers when they came around and bark at people who came to the house until he recognized them. The team here took our Teddy in and taught him so many things! He came out a different dog! After showing us the ropes on how to be a proper handler, Teddy has trust in us and has more freedom than ever. He still has all the same cute and silly traits, but now has some new awesome skills! We never had experience with e-collars, so we were hesitant at first but we admit now that it is an amazing addition to his training. Chris let us put the collar on our arms and feel the tens unit ourselves upon pick up because he knew I was uncertain about it. They talked us through the levels that Teddy used while in training and the level that he is normally at on the collar. They made sure that we were confident as handlers as they know that's how Teddy will trust us. Now, Teddy knows and loves his commands. He knows what to do when it's time to sit, stay, place, and heel and you can tell he is confident with his commands. His favorite being the "free" command (of course!) and his recall when he is on free is immediate and amazing. We loved getting to see the videos and pictures of Teddy on their social medias and we loved getting to see him trust his trainers in the YouTube video. My husband and I cannot thank the K9 Training Academy more. Teddy has freedom, confidence, and trust in us and he is living his best life now! Thank you all! We definitely recommend them!!

PLEASE READ IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING THIS FACILITY!…read more After giving my dog a month to readjust, I'm leaving an honest review of my experience. I chose this business because of its reviews and proximity. I explained that my German Shepherd puppy had service-dog potential but I couldn't train him myself due to health reasons. The owner seemed knowledgeable, so I invested over $2,400 for their basic obedience board-and-train. From the start, there were red flags. The contract included extra charges--such as several hundred dollars for potty training--despite those services being advertised as included. They also charged a mandatory $55 bath fee. (This is important later on) During his stay, communication was minimal and our dog rarely appeared on their social media until we specifically requested more updates. At pickup, the trainer demonstrated commands using a prong collar fitted far too loosely and incorrectly. When my puppy hesitated, the trainer harshly snapped the leash, making him yelp, cry, and visibly shut down in fear. Despite this, he continued applying hard corrections until he got up from the ground. After returning home, we discovered they never gave back his collar and he smelled strongly of urine and feces, despite the bath charge. While settling him in after bathing him ourselves, we also found a 5-6 inch injury on his thigh. A vet confirmed it was rope burn and that he also had a staph infection--both of which occurred during his time there. None of this was disclosed to us when it happened or at the end of his stay. Previously, they had refused to give me a tour of their facility. After everything that happened, I contacted animal control to get more information. Anyone considering this facility should know that their animal control records are public and free to request. The reports include dogs dying in their care, kennels covered in feces and urine, roach infestations, unsafe kennel wiring, and reports of dogs yelping like they're being hit. From the notes, it looks like they often refuse access to animal control during surprise visits until they can temporarily clean their facility to meet code. The only positive was that my dog came back with a good heel and place. Nothing else with his training stuck despite daily reinforcements of what they taught him since being back. Cons: Collar not returned Returned dirty and smelling of urine/feces despite bath fee Upcharged for services listed as included Came back with a staph infection Came back with a 5-6 inch rope-burn injury Now fearful of men raising their voices Had to provide all his food/treats (You'd think with board and train, the price would cover that?) Pros: Good heel and place

Dr. Schrank was great and took time to make our nervous corgi feel a little bit at ease. The office is brand new and very clean. There is also plenty of parking.

The office is beautiful, parking is easy to find, the staff is all super nice, and the doctor was very willing to answer as many questions as I wanted. About a week or so later my pup ended up having another emergency need and they were able to get her into one of their other locations same day no problem. I will say, from that experience, I did feel like they didn't seem to 100% know what to do. My dog broke her leg and they wanted to do some crazy healing process that could take months. From having dogs my entire life, I've always known surgery as the form of fixing this issue, so I was taken aback by this suggestion of coming back every 3 days for new bandages and this lasting for possibly months. The vet hinted at seeing a specialist but didn't really suggest it, when other vets I've seen would have always said to go to the specialist right away. Perhaps it was her way of saying it, but she kept saying it in such a weird way that it felt like she wasn't even allowed to suggest it. I did end up taking her to the specialist and they did immediate surgery with a recovery period of 3-6 weeks, no bandages, etc. Before going WOAH kept trying to get me to bandage her leg and get take home meds, which I kept explaining made no sense since the specialist would take off the bandage and also probably give her meds. I'm only taking 1 star off for this because I'm not sure if it was all for money or if it was just inexperience. I will say that experience though did leave me wondering if this was the right place for us. Further, their prices are a bit higher than some of the other vets around. When I paid the first bill I immediately noticed the price difference but felt it was ok given they could take me right away and how nice the place was. However, I was trying to book my pup's spaying and the quote was outrageous. I ended up talking to a friend that worked at a local vet office, asking around, even contacting a vet back home out of state before trying to reconcile with the price. Eventually I decided to book with her original vet since he had glowing reviews and was half the cost just down the road. This included all the same things they would be including and doing, so I'm really unsure why they are up charging so much. They even were up charging the exact same microchip. So again, I'm keep the star off because I do feel they may be overpricing and taking a bit of advantage of their clients there.

As we begin to talk to Darrel, we begin to analyze and evaluate the person standing in our house due to his strange/ eccentric behavior and his way of speaking. There was an immediate concern and red flags began to go up in the beginning of our conversation. We were very concerned right out of the gate but we wanted to see where this conversation would take us. First we would like to say that Darrel tried to use a shock collar without our permission on our golden. I immediately stated to him "No Shock Collar as we do not condone fear training!" This is not humane nor recommended to build trust. Darrel asked if could take our golden down the sidewalk. I gave him the lead. Darrel began to pull our golden down the sidewalk slowly. Darrel then switched our halter lead for his Choke leash. Darrel then began to pull our golden with the choke leash. Our golden began to choke violently. I immediately spoke up and said "No More.. We're Done!" Darrel pulled upwards hard on the choke leash to get our golden to sit. This is extremely dangerous to the wind pipe of any dog so is not recommended. Hurting the dog is never an acceptable training method. His training methods are flawed and fear based. We didn't get a good vibe from Darrel at all. Also he asked to bring his dog into our home which is strange in itself. Needless to say won't be using his services. People.. please be aware of who you hire for training your pet.

She is not just out for your money like many vets, and offers solutions that are over-the-counter, in addition to the much more expensive diagnostic and therapeutic testing. (And doesn't make you feel awful for turning down more expensive testing like other vets do!) The support staff is also awesome. I know my cats are in very good hands with Hailey, Dana, and Brenda. A tip- if you're going as a "walk in" it's best done near the end of business hours. So if they tell you to come at 3pm, ask if 5 or 6pm would work. You'll wait a much shorter time (30 minutes instead of 2 hours), since the vet is very much in demand.

Well this pains me to write this review but right is right and wrong is just wrong…read more.. We have followed Luvncares advise for all of our animals for meds, surgery, routine care etc. including to purchase a Free Style Libre for our diabetic cat. We did not ask for this device meaning this was advised from the Vet. Vet said this would be best instead of poking our cat to monitor his blood. We picked up the 2 sensors from Publix for $80. We had Luvncare install the sensor for $40 to be sure it was done correctly, although Vet said we could do it ourselves. The sensor was giving issues from day one. On day 8 the sensor stopped working all together. It is supposed to work for 14 days. My BF called Freestlye but they would not warranty the item since it was used on an animal. I called Freestyle the next day and got the exact same answer from a different rep. Rep said the FDA has not approved the unit in animals and to take up with our vet. So we did... since LUVNCARE is prescribing a device in a way the company will not guarantee we felt they should be responsible to replace the device. We didn't think it's not our responsibility to check up on our vet. The vet DIDN'T know the FDA does not approve the unit which is alarming. We trusted Luvncare for many surgeries all our pets care etc. We are talking about $40 which clearly after the thousands of dollars we spent just in the last month, never mind the money since we started there - $40 is really nothing to us. This is about accountability. We feel Luvncare should have advised us it's not authorized in pets and let us make that decision- instead they represented the unit as ok. Why should a patient have to think to ask the vet if they will have a warranty on a sensor the vet is prescribing? Long story short... We respectfully asked for 2nd sensor that came in pack to be installed for free and a $40 credit. Vet installed 2nd sensor for free. REFUSED to give us a $40 credit for bad sensor. We wasted 90 minutes on phone with Freestyle and felt this could have been avoided had they been upfront so $40 for 90 minutes of our time was not being unreasonable... Worst business decision I've ever seen from any business in my ENTIRE LIFE. We understand the sensor not working was not their fault but if they are going to use something off label, be open about it. We trusted Luvncare and were very happy until this last visit but if they don't stand behind their decisions, sadly we can no longer recommend them. We had wrote several great reviews on multiple channels to help them as I had seen multiple bad reviews. Now sadly we will be posting our unfortunate experience so others know to steer clear of this practice. Clearly $40 was more important than our business. Take your business to a vet who is honest and accountable with what they prescribe...
