I wrote a very poor review of Canterbury Tails Veterinary Clinic earlier this afternoon. They read…read moreit and reached out to me and we were able to have the conversation I had wanted to have this morning. So for now, I am content. They explained that in spite of other reviewers writing that Canterbury Tails is a holistic clinic, NO, they are NOT. That was explained to me by the office manager this evening. So that is good to know. It helped me to adjust my expectations. The Vet, Dr. Sue C. Cleary, is a quiet, non-talkative style vet. I am not used to that at all and will need to make sure I ask a ton of questions at my next visit. The costs are still a concern, but possibly can be worked out. Anyhow, they reached out to me and showed caring and concern, so I decided to tone down my previous review. Everyone can use mercy now and then. Things often look different when explanations are given and received.

We finally had to have one of our dogs put down - our sweet precious English Bulldog went to sleep due to a large cancerous tumor. The staff was sensitive and loving in every way, and helped us through some difficult decisions. No matter how big or how small the issue, Hardwick Pond Clinic has been there for us. And they never gouge or inflate the price - it's all totally reasonable. We HIGHLY recommend Dr. Van DerVelden and his clinic, and we just hope and pray he doesn't retire!

Mixed review--- My kitten suddenly went limp while playing with my family and I rushed him here…read morebecause they're 5 mins away. Kitten was a healthy normal kitten that had seen my regular vet etc. They X-ray'd his chest to find fluid around his heart, the there vet said he most likely had a congenital heart defect that caused this, it's something that happens. Positive note -- they did not charge me for the X-rays being that they did it for teaching purposes, nor did they charge me for the items used to try to resuscitate him. (He was a DOA sadly) so I only paid the Exam Fee and Cremation Fee. The staff members I met were all lovely, helpful, and kind throughout this whole process and I still think kindly of them thinking about this whole experience. Negative/Confusing part- A week later I get a phone call saying I have been reported to the MSPCA officer saying he needs to come to the house to examine the other pets because there were "injuries seen upon further examination that seem to be from foul play or possible strangulation" Here I am devastated and grieving my baby... now add confused, and just taken aback. I understand that they are mandatory reporters in any sort of suspicious circumstances but I'm still confused at why they wouldn't tell me beforehand that they sensed foul play? I'm glad the whole situation is over with and I have my cremated baby back but it all just rubbed me the wrong way.... (My dog is healthy and happy btw, MSPCA officer came out to see him and talk about the situation.)

I recently had to put my dog down for medical issues. The staff were horrible and treated me like I was at an interrogation! It is the owners decision and it broke my heart but what I felt was best for my dog. The staff treated me terribly! Don't they teach compassion in school for this very daunting task of euthanasia?? I would not recommend this practice at all! Go somewhere else! I hope the vet (who is very young) sees this and that her treatment of me follows her to the end of her career! I will never get over the added trauma she and her staff have caused me. I still have nightmares!

I have taught many classes at TCGS as I'm a co-founder of the Holistic Cat Groomers Alliance. Nicole impressed me with her quick grasp of the material & insightful questions. I have no doubt she would put a cat's safety & welfare first, instead of risking the life of a cat for secondary aesthetic preferences. Nicole is also an active participant in my Holistic Cat Grooming forum and her input shows her compassionate dedication to the welfare & comfort of the cats in her care, in addition to a keen understanding of the compassionate, holistic method. I would highly encourage you to entrust Nicole with the grooming of your precious cat.

My wife and I dropped our dogs off for a weekend of boarding and grooming. We left instructions for…read morethe groomer to groom our boy and do a practice grooming of our girl. We were also told that the grooming would be recorded so that we could watch the session if anything weird happens. When we picked up our dogs, it became clear that the boy's grooming was incomplete. He had little knots on his head and a large knot on his tail, as well as a new bald spot on his chest. When we spoke to the groomer about it, she said that he was difficult and wouldn't sit still so that she couldn't complete it, and she said that the bald spot was a cowlick. This didn't *seem* right, because he gets groomed 4 times a year and in the previous place they never had any issues with him at all, and we pet his chest all the time and would've noticed a bald cowlick spot before. She was also not told that the girl was supposed to get a pretend grooming session at all, so that never happened. Since the boy has never been an issue before, we wanted to see the video that we were told we could see if we requested it (we wanted to know what might've set him off), but then we were told that we couldn't because the video system has been down for weeks. The manager I spoke with didn't care and just told me that the groomers rent out the rooms so they aren't responsible for what they do. We contacted the owner but she hasn't responded and instead blocked us on the company Facebook page. Best case, this place has terrible communication amongst the staff and the groomer, poor customer service, and a broken video system. I wouldn't trust my dogs there.

It wasn't his fault, but we had to do something. He was taking medication recommended by our vet at the time. Christina's first visit was spent talking to us through Loki's barking and crying from his crate literally right next to us. She could see that in this state, he needed help before he needed training. She recommended we talk to our vet about a different medication, as she suspected the one he was taking was actually making his anxiety worse. She also recommended a change in his diet from store bought (high end) to homemade. We agreed to do these things and meet again in two weeks. When she came back, Loki was a different dog. He still needed training and still had anxiety, but we could now learn how to desensitize him to the things he was afraid of. (Doorbell, packages, strangers on walks, other dogs) Christina taught us the skills to train Lokie on these issues. Desensitizing will take time and commitment on our end and we are doing our best. :) We were not looking to teach our dog tricks, he does know the basics now though. We were looking for peace for Loki and our family. We are able to sit with him and take him places once again. THANK YOU CHRISTINA!!
