Thank you to Dr. Chihocki and staff! We found out about the new US rules re: bringing you dogs…read moreback into the US just two days before we set out on a 9-week trip through New England, PEI and Cape Breton. We called the Barre Animal Hospital while in the ADK's and they were able to see us the following week when we were staying near Barre. Everyone at the clinic was wonderful and we had a nice long conversation with Dr. Chihocki while he did full physicals, gave them their rabies shots and microchips. We were even able to get a refill of medication for one pup who was still dealing with a skin irritation. You could tell everyone there loves animals and showed ours a lot of attention. We highly recommend Barre Animal Hospital. They made things VERY easy and we were out in just under one hour. Brad and Martha Boyer, Camillus, NY

Since the dogs were not allowed at the resort this was catastrophic to our vacation. I will never have anything to do with this place again.

She made the process so simple and truly provided such an enriching and loving long weekend for our dog, complete with many hikes, walks, and swims. She kept us updated all weekend with photos of him, and brought him for our wedding portraits. He was so calm and relaxed, freshly shampoo'd and ready to go! We are so forever grateful to Debby for taking such amazing care of him. It was the best feeling being away from him and knowing he was in such capable and kind hands. We could not recommend Debby enough!! Thank you, thank you thank you!

I would stay away from this rescue…read more. Our neighbor adopted a dog from this rescue last year. He was not vetted and was in foster care when she picked him up in Vermont. It turned out that he had heartworm and it was not on his paperwork and she was not told. This year has been horrendous for this very sweet dog and for her. He suffered terribly. He completed a long thorough heartworm treatment and had a few good months however he had the heartworm long enough that some of the dead heartworms stayed in his heart. He just died yesterday.

I recently moved to Maine and contacted Kara's Petcare on the recommendation of my vet. I was so…read moreexcited because it seemed like they would be able to offer daycare for my dogs and some auxiliary training if needed. They also said they did transport to the daycare facility and boarding on occasion. It seemed perfect. I should mention that there are Kara's pet care facilities in Portsmouth, Berwick, and Falmouth. First I was asked to set up a meet and greet with one of their associates at my home so she could meet my pets. It took me many tries to get through many unreturned phone calls, but finally we did set up the meet and greet and that went well. Then I was asked to set up an app and an account before we could actually schedule any dog care. So I set up the app and the account. Then I was asked to drive my dogs to their facility to see if the dogs would "be happy there." So I drove my dogs 25 minutes to the facility. When I got to the facility I was told that they were supposed to stay there for a day assessment and then I should come and pick them up. This was not communicated to me earlier, and I had not budgeted an extra hour of driving back-and-forth. Then they would reschedule the assessment and they would come and pick up my dogs for the day-long assessment. All before any dog care could be scheduled. So, still not on the calendar. So to summarize: you need to go through a long process of scheduling a meet and greet, then you need to have the meet and greet, then you need to sign up for the app, then your dogs have to be assessed to see if they will be happy. I'm just thinking that anyone who's busy enough to need dog care is too busy for this multilayered, multi-step, poorly communicated process where phone calls, texts, and emails are returned only about half the time.

The groomer didn't even attempt to cut my dog's nails. She came out shedding, looking, and smelling the same as when she came in. They call a CHIHUAHUA a "flat face dog" and thus refuse to dry her. She came out basically freshly wet. I just got home and brushed her and the brush is full of hair. Believe all of the reviews and do NOT go here. There's a reason they have all of these slots available and South Burlington has none open for weeks. DO NOT GO HERE FOR GROOMING. This store needs to be shut down.
