I didn't read reviews about this place before bringing my dog here.... As I continue to read them…read morenow, I see a lot of mix reviews about this place. I took my dog (a 64-pound nonaggressive, submissive pit bull mix) for half a day daycare, when I picked him up, I was notified that he was injured from another dog who had nicked his ear... I was upset that i was not notified of the incident when it had happened. My dog had blood dripping down his ear, onto his coat.. onto my car.. and every time he shook his head it would splatter elsewhere. I was on facetime with my fiancée and we were both surprised because we expected this to be such a fun experience for our dog! he seemed under stress and rushed to get into my car on the way out literally pulling me to leave. I tried to call for the manager and didn't get a call back. I ended up emailing the manager that same evening and got a response back reporting she had been in the ER with a family member the day before and couldn't reach out to me beforehand (totally understandable so i didn't get upset about the delayed response). What I did not like, was the way she downplayed the incident and the fact that I wanted to be notified when my dog is injured in her email to me... she reported she doesn't know me well enough to know I would want to get notified but as any dog parent knows, it's the principle to know- whether its big or small- and who wouldn't want to get notified when their dog is injured. Especially as my dog was actively gushing blood from his ear. It might've not been a big wound, but it was still bleeding a lot. I took my dog to the vet, and he was put on antibiotics. The manager of this location was able to reach out to the other dog's owner to pay for my vet visit, but it was submitted to the account for future visits.. and I no longer feel comfortable leaving my dog at this place. This might work out for others but unfortunately didn't for me!

Update: Read the owner's response but doesn't really address what I wrote. It was kind of them to…read moreaccommodate us -- several other places did too, especially since you can't really schedule a skunk bath that far in advance, skunk's don't make appointments. Her comment is also defensive and inaccurate--I called them around 5 pm. She just didn't get back to us until 9:45 pm. Answering service was told 15-20 min late but didn't say that wasn't ok, I ALSO texted her as a courtesy and she said something different. Had we never texted her IN ADDITION to calling, we would've driven the 45 min to get there and then told we were too late. So much for running an "efficient" business and being "honored" by people who choose them. The Wall Street background lack of people skills is definitely not for every potential customer. Just warning those who, like me, prefer warm and informative communication especially during a moment of distress with my dog. Google reviews also show a pattern of bad, ineffective, and dangerous communication (where dogs were injured). I guess she just doesn't care. Dodged a bullet! Yikes! The owner was SUPER defensive from the jump before we even brought our dog in. That tells me the business has been criticized a lot and she's very tense about it. Not the kind of atmosphere you want for your dog. Hostile and dangerous. The people who work there probably save the place's rep but they'll come and go and it's too risky--go somewhere kinder and actually professional.

Furry People Pet Sitting clears that bar with room to spare, and somehow makes the whole thing feel effortless. They're responsive, flexible, and actually seem to enjoy our dog's company.

They handled our diverse household of pets, including an African grey parrot, bunny, pig and cats. They spent a lot of time giving them each attention. Everything was so clean when we returned. They have a lot back up safety planning that really put me at ease (emergency vet care if needed, extra key, bad weather, etc.) They thought of everything so I didn't have to. Their pricing was fair, as well. I highly recommend them. I know our fur babies are safe and comfortable when we go away, and that is invaluable.

Becki is an amazing dog runner, and we're so happy to have found Adventures Unleashed for our…read morerambunctious but friendly black labrador. He started with Adventures Unleashed about 1.5 yr ago when he was still a puppy. Being a lab, he still "acts like" a puppy but looks like a big dog, and as we work long hours, we knew he needed lots of exercise and socialization with other dogs. He adores going out with Becki and the pack, and she has helped to ensure he continues to have good habits (like working with him on skills like responding to being called). It's important to me that an Adventures Unleashed pack run, in addition to being very active and social, usually lasts over a couple of hours, which really helps give our goofball of a dog lots of time to expend his excess energy. He's happier, and we are thrilled! One additional thing -- Becki at Adventures Unleashed really cares about the dogs that do Adventures Unleashed. I've seen her go the extra mile (so to speak) for our dog and other dogs in her care many times, and she always finds a way to help out the dogs and their owners when they are in need of her assistance. Adventures Unleashed also offers first-class house-sitting with your animals, and we've used this service when we've gone away for several days to a week. I almost feel guilty coming back because I know how much true FUN our dog has had while we are gone. We can't say enough good things!

Becki is reliable and responsible. She is terrific with dogs and I highly recommend her!read more

Angelo saved our dog's life -- and I mean that in the most literal sense possible…read more Oliver is a rescue who had been surrendered by two families before us. We took him in, loved him, and still found ourselves in crisis -- biting, aggression, resource guarding. We were scared of our dog and desperate for help. Oliver was our fifth dog and as a family we were seasoned users of positive reinforcement as the primary training method. We turned to Angelo at Art of K9 and made the decision to board Oliver for 8 weeks. He took on Oliver after a thorough consultation. Angelo worked through Oliver's aggression and resource guarding using the e-collar and other training tools. These methods gave us the ability to communicate with and control our dog in a way positive reinforcement couldn't. The transformation is hard to put into words. Oliver is now relaxed, cuddly, and genuinely at peace. He still has his moments -- but now we have the tools to handle them. This has changed everything. If you have a dog with serious aggression or resource guarding and you're at your breaking point, I highly recommend Angelo. He didn't just train Oliver -- he saved his life and we are so thankful.

We sent our dog Monsi to Angelo- originally because of socialization problems, yet she surprised us…read moreand came out with so many higher level qualities we didn't anticipate or know was possible. At first, we second guessed our choice to leave Monsi for 6-weeks because we missed her. Every time we checked in with Angelo, he updated us, but we missed our fur baby so much. Now, afterwards, I can't stop recommending this program to everyone I know. It's a worthwhile investment IF you plan to KEEP UP with it. All of Angelo's work can easily be undone with dog owners that do not upkeep the foundation he creates. Currently our dog listens to each command after one time saying it, she is walking off leash behind us, does not lurk around the table while we eat or cook, stays in place for 2-hours and counting, and more. Overall, she has many service dog qualities. I need to give credit where it is due because our dog was unsure of herself, very anxious, annoying at times because she didn't know what to do during quiet hours at home and needed way too much physical exercise (4+ hours daily). He taught us, and our dog Monsi, that exercise and socialization looks different than we thought. Monsi is the dog we dreamed of and didn't know how to achieve. He tapped into her potential. She does not impede our life in anyway. She adds on to the quality and is stress free now that we know how to maintain and handle her. Not only that, but my parents sent their dog at the same time as our dog. So now we have two dogs that listen to the same command. We can bring our dogs on vacation and have complete calm and fun with them present. This was the greatest gift to a life of joy with a well trained fur family member! Thank you Angelo and Art of K9. I know picking a program at such a cost is nerve recking since there is not enough information or proof online but promise me, this is the place. We put a lot of trust into prior reviews and tiktok/Instagram videos.... We got lucky finding this place. It's a hidden gem of Westchester. If anyone needs more details to convince you this program is worth it, contact me. I'll convince you- haha!

The positive reviews on Yelp inspired me to bring my dog, a 16-lb. Chihuahua Shiba Inu mix named…read moreSam, for a grooming at Metro Pups. The booking experience on the phone was pleasant enough. I made sure to explain that he is a heavy shedder given his Shiba background and needed a very good brushing out. However, after spending 1.5 hours at their shop, my dog looked clean but curiously thick-haired, and hair was falling off of him with every step. I took him home and took my brush to him (the small Ferminator meant for his breed type and size, one that I've been using successfully on him for the six years I've had him), and clumps of his undercoat began coming off. I called Metro Pups and they told me to bring him back for another brushing, but when I did, they got incredibly defensive. They told me their "commercial methodology" - blow-drying my dog as a way to de-shed him and then taking what I saw was a fairly wide-toothed comb to him - was better than mine, and that I should expect him to shed after their de-shedding methods. They even told me that yes, it does sound counter-intuitive, but that's how it is. Among the excuses: I was told that I don't know my own dog, that my brushing methods all these years are wrong, and that my dog will always shed. Oh, they also told me his hair is falling off because he is "excited." Having had Sam for six years, I know he will *always* shed, but also know from my own thorough brushings of him, and from taking him to other groomers, what a good, proper brushing looks like. This was not it. I left Metro Pups and spent 30 minutes brushing Sam, yielding a beach ball-sized pile of hair - I took a picture after I threw half of it out, but have attached here a bit of what I took off. It's clear that they did not take the time to properly brush my dog, or if they did, used methods that are not up to par. Including tip, that's $62 hard-earned dollars, plus my time, down the drain. I would not recommend this place if you expect a thorough brushing / de-shedding of your pup.

Dr. Haroush is an incredible veterinarian who saved my bunny's life. After reaching out to over 10…read moredifferent clinics (no exaggeration), he was the only one who made time for us and had 30yrs of experience. Saying I am grateful is an understatement. I see reviews about his prices being too high as well as him habing an attitude. First of all, you get what you pay for. His knowledge and skill. And he is HONEST, not rude. I understand It may be higher than some other vets as mentioned in a few reviews but the level of care, skill, and attention he provides is absolutely worth it. He was FARRRR more thorough than ANYYY other vet we saw. While others missed critical signs that costs my other bunny's life or just hesitating during the my pets exams, Dr. Haroush carefully listened to my bunny's body with a stethoscope, examined her FULLLY, and caught what others overlooked in my past animals. His confidence and care made all the difference. My bunny, "Pumpkin" who is female WOULD BE GONE if it wasn't for him. (No exaggeration) Dr. Haroush truly cares not just about animals, but about the people who love them. When my bunny needed emergency surgery, he was willing to work with me financially and gave me a generous discount to help save her life. That kind of compassion is rare so cut him slack. For those who say he only cares about money that couldn't be further from the truth. If you're expecting top-tier medical care, understand that it comes with a cost and rightly so. I was initially overwhelmed by the price too, but now I'm beyond grateful. His skill and dedication were worth every penny. He saved my bunny's life, and I will always stand by that. Professionally stitched without swelling after obstruction surgery (DURING critical Gi Stasis) She hasn't pooped for 30+ hours or eaten for 24+ due to this obstruction he removed in a timely manner. He tried recommending medications to try on my bunny to see if it can past through naturally before doing the surgery. After doing an x-ray and seeing the clump did not move after administering the meds he prioritized my bunny and started surgery asap. I am grateful she pull through. Thank you.
