When she arrived she helped me with advice on what hair cut to do for a wee black puppy in summer and how to keep up with his regular brushing and nail clipping at home. She even let me hang out so I could get some tips on how to hold him when I brushed him. He's looking cute as all get out now and seemed to enjoy his little pamper sesh. We will definitely be booking in with Lee again.

And if the issue is a small one, chances are you have. If it's not, chances are major pet issues will cost you, both here or somewhere else. The sort-of-family-dog Bubbles, currently chasing possums on a full-time basis at my abode, has been through a string of issues relating to a knee joint displacement issue. We had one leg operated on at Ashgrove Vet after a series of appointments at the same place. The surgery seemed to be fairly successful in that the dog was no longer hopping about. Unfortunately, two years later, Bubbles is still refusing to use the leg that was operated on except when strictly necessary, and will not use it when urinating. (This is not the fault of the surgeon or the vet, but of the spread inherent in Bubbles' condition.) Her second leg succumbed to the same condition, as we were warned it likely would. As the leg has worsened and vet visits ramped up, the clinic recently took an x-ray of the leg to look for issues. Except they x-rayed the wrong leg. With the communication issue out of the way, Bubbles is now recovering from her second surgery on her other leg. A few days have passed and her health has soared. Ashgrove Avenue Vet is perfect for people with fairly healthy dogs who just need check-ups. If your dog is bothered by a more major or long-term affliction, get ready to save. It'll cost you.

If I had a question and was at home they were always obliged to help best they could answers any questions over the phone. In comparison to other clinics they are a bit more expensive but their love and concern for animal health is second to none.

My dog is too busy keeping up with his napping schedule to tell me how his morning at Paddington…read morePups went, but as his dutiful owner and payer of all his bills, I suppose I can justify telling you how pleased I was with the result. Finding Paddington Pups was the result of a google search and a telephone call where a pleasant young man on the other end told me, "If you can bring him in this morning we can see him." I'd been searching for a new groomer for our pampered pooch after a less than desirable cut just before Winter. All I wanted this visit was a general tidy up, wash and dry (his visits to the salon sound all too much like mine!). Paddington Pups were able to see Dutch that day and it worked out cheaper than our usual salon. Cheaper doesn't always equal better but upon being reunited with my pup a few hours later it sure was in this case. The groomer had heard everything I said and trimmed his face without making him look like a dog without any facial hair. His feet were tidied and there was no great length taken off the rest of his coat. And while I'm yet to make use of it, they also have doggy-day care on site as well as a small range of pet food and toys.

The staff are always really nice and they sell BARF (food) which is handy and it's cheaper here then the other two options I have near my home. Some people think it's strange that my dog goes to daycare but it's important for his socialisation being a young dog. Also when you buy bulk you get a discount which makes it more affordable.
