    Very clean facility, helpful staff and easy scheduling. The groomer is fantastic. The only Con is they only groom on Thursdays.

    I like the vets, but the blonde woman at the front desk is consistently rude ... to the point where I am looking for another vet.

    Dr. Peppard misdiagnosed my cat, screwed up his medications more than once, botched his surgery beyond belief. Worst vet ever.

    Nice people who I think probably do a decent job, but after three visits and over $1000 I feel…read moreripped off and a little mistreated. I made an appointment specifically about my dog's chipped tooth because the website says "complete dental." I paid $80 to be told that they do not handle chipped teeth. They told me they'd call me for referrals, but it sounded like I'd probably have to go to some special place out of town that I logistically couldn't go to any time soon. They also never called with referrals. So I waited and worried for weeks about his tooth that I had wanted to take care of quickly. Two months later they call and say actually they CAN handle chipped teeth (?????). So I take my dog in again and someone finally looks at the tooth. He says he's actually not sure whether it needs to be extracted, but they'd do an exam and decide based on X-rays. they end up extracting the tooth and when I pick up my dog I ask why they made that decision. Nobody there can tell me, so I ask to get a call about it. Instead of that, I'm charged extra to talk to the doctor a week later when my dog comes in for his postop checkup, so instead of a 5 min call I had to pay another $80 when at this point I've already paid them ~$1000. I wasn't warned about this and I think I should have been. I would have said no. I believe I paid more than I should have had I been given information I requested over the phone, and more than once I was waiting for a call that I never received. My dog seems bothered by something in his mouth now, I assume related to his tooth, and if I bring him somewhere it won't be here.

Dr. Magill was very caring and gentle with Frodo and very good at explaining everything to me. She gave me suggestions as to how to make his "Golden Years" more comfortable and enjoyable. The office staff was very accomodating and helped me find the best prices possible for the prescriptions that my dog needed.

    Disorganized and Frustrating Experience…read more I recently took my dog to Pet Paradise for a four-day stay because my regular kennel was full. This was my backup option, and I was hesitant from the start--looking back, I should have trusted my instincts. The lobby was crowded, with only one person handling the desk and phones while several customers waited. Usually, there's an older woman who checks us in, and she is always very friendly. She wasn't there when I checked in this time, although I did see her later when I returned to speak with the manager. When it was my turn, I asked if I could email my dog's medication instructions since the staff member, initially nice, was overwhelmed and didn't give me a form. I sat in my car and emailed all the details as requested. Later, she called to say she couldn't access the email. I offered to provide the info again, but she insisted I hadn't filled out a form (which I never received), and she raised her voice, talked over me, and didn't listen. The conversation became tense and confusing, so I decided to pick up my dog. When I explained to the manager what happened--including the issues with emailing and the staff member's attitude--she simply said, "That doesn't sound like something she would say." Instead of acknowledging any possible miscommunication or offering to make it right, she just defended her staff. This was a bad experience. I did not feel comfortable leaving my dog there after all that, and I would never return or give them my business.

    Where do we begin with providing a proper client review of such a WONDERFUL and WELCOMING…read morehome-away-from-home for your beloved furry family members, and where you will be a returning client? Is it with the: 1) CARING and KNOWLEDGEABLE client/pet-oriented family Team; or, 2) WELCOMING and INDIVIDUAL luxury boarding suites and adjacent fenced exercise areas; or 3) CALMING and RELAXING clean air environment and walking trails set in the Blue Ridge Mountain region????? As "parents" of two shelter-rescue Rottweilers [Cola (f) and Moose (m)], in early 2024 we were in need of the "purrfect" boarding team and environment as we prepared for an March/April trip to Europe. Significant considerations included the facts that neither pet was very social, nor had ever been apart from us or away from home. To say we had anxiety about this issue is an understatement; but then, we found Miriam and her family-based team at Shady Mountain Pet Retreat in Amherst, VA. Our initial engagement was so successful we returned recently for 2 weeks in October when we attended a family wedding. Below is our attempt to inform accordingly so you may also experience such joy...... Firstly, the TEAM: No business can operate to its highest degree of precision absent having the highest caliber TEAM to execute flawlessly and achieve such performance. Factor into the pet-boarding business equation is the fact that our pets are beloved family members and we strive to entrust their training and care to the most qualified and caring professionals of integrity in the safest environment. Have no concerns on this front, as Miriam and her family are the highest caliber cohesive TEAM who exceed client (and furry guest) expectations. From the moment we engaged with Miriam, we knew we made the purrfect choice. Miriam listened to us and understood our concerns, and suggested an initial meet and greet with Cola and Moose. We eagerly made the 2-hour drive from Mineral, VA to meet Miriam, who is a well-accomplished author and expert in the field of animal behavior, training and care; and her clients and their pets are the direct beneficiaries. I stress the fact Miriam listened to our concerns and provided insightful information facilitating our collective best-informed decision to entrust Cola and Moose with her for a 1-month board and train period during our upcoming trip. I assure you that we did not have any guilt-based regrets as we departed on drop-off day of either of our two visits to date (March/April and then October). You can trust that Miriam sincerely wants you and your pet(s) to be happy, comfortable and free of any stress, emphasizing her positive reinforcement approach which serves as the corner stone of Shady Mountain Pet Retreat. You can even follow your pet's daily adventures through various updates Miriam posts thoughtfully on social media and her website: https://www.shadymountainpetretreat.net/ Secondly (but equally), the BOARDING SUITES/EXERCISE AREAS: Discard any concerns you may have that you will find institutional-style stress creating chain link fence-type boarding "cages" or rooms at Shady Mountain Pet Retreat. Rather, at Shady Mountain your family member will reside in a very comfortable, climate-controlled individualized roomy suite, separated by solid walls from neighboring guests. A raised off-the-floor style pet bed is a plus to afford more comfort while resting. The suite doors have a full length glass window (with drop blind as needed) so residents can watch the daily "office" activities, and a rear-exit pet door leading out to the fenced in exercise area. Each guest enjoys their own supply storage cubby which facilitates the management of feedings, etc. External fenced in exercise areas are divided into separate sections which permits greater staff flexibility for training, etc. See website for all the other possibilities for your pet's stay: https://www.shadymountainpetretreat.net/ Lastly (but equally), the clean air mountain ENVIRONMENT and WALKING TRAILS: As you ascend Shady Mountain to reach the Retreat, you will be filled with a calming and serene sense, taking in the peaceful natural Amherst, VA environment. Cola and Moose love taking in all the smells of nature as we drive up the mountain. Peaceful and calming are the words we would use to describe this environment. If pet appropriate, Miriam's team can take your loved-one on nature walks through trails in the surrounding landscape, with the potential to see deer and other varieties of wildlife. Cola and Moose told us they so enjoyed these nature walks on their most recent visit. We conclude our review by recommending, with the highest regards, the Shady Mountain Pet Retreat, Miriam and her team. At the Shady Mountain Pet Retreat all three elements of knowledgeable and caring people, well-apportioned boarding/training facilities and a serene environment combine to provide the most wonderful and trusting of experiences. Thank you!!

Now that I've found Shady Mountain I may never leave Virginia. Miriam is the real deal. Besides l the numerous books she's published on dog behavior and training the facility is perfect. It's set up impeccably, has appropriately strict health screening for entry and the services on site are too notch. I left my dogs for their first stay and walked away with ease and comfort knowing they are in the best of hands. It's worth every penny and then some.

My wife is a vet tech with almost 20 years experience. I, can't have kids, so basically? We have four legged kids. Cahleigh, for the first time ever, was able to make our time out of town, completely relaxing. She came over to meet the kids about a week before we were going to leave, she spent about an hour getting the routines written down, she had an actual clipboard with a set of questions, that enabled her to make sure all needs were met. Her rates for overnight stays were completely reasonable, and honestly, with the amount of care given to our animals, she could justifiably charge much more. She sent updates, with pictures, several times a day, made sure we knew everything that had been going on from the moment we left town, to the moment she arrived at our place to take care of our family. She's nothing but professional, and even put our bed sheets in the washer, and washed out the dogs food and water bowls before leaving. She's absolutely magnificent with animals, and I know for a fact, we'll be asking her to come back again the next time we leave town.
