My dog Berlin passed away here under his care. She was healthy four years old and doing the…read moreovernight week program. He found her corpse at 7am and didn't notify us until 8pm. When notifying us of her death he said he took her to the vet to get a autopsy because he too was curious under the circumstances of her death. Considering he told us she died AFTER the vet was closed we had no way to visit her. Or even confirm she was there. He was also texting us saying the vet said it was a heart issue. Bright and early the next day I went to the vet expecting to see my dog. Instead they informed me that he JUST dropped her corpse off THAT DAY so they still needed to clean the blood and pee off her. not only did he withhold her death from us until after the vet was closed he lied about where she was and what the vet said. After waiting for them to bathe my dead dog. I then laid with her while she was wet her eyes dried like raisins and blood on her paws mouth and nose. Not only did she look like a shell of the former dog I cherished she had also lost 10 pounds. After waiting 3 hours with the stench of 24+ hour dead dog that had been kept in the summer heat. He finally showed up to have a few words which I have all recorded. The man was so nonchalant it disgusted me to my core. Don't take your dog here. Don't support his business I've left reviews on Google and he jumps through hoops to get them taken down.

She was sent to the state hospital for advance necropsy and she was found without food in her body, and severely underweight. They also found a drug in her liver. She is dead and I'm disgusted. He held her for another 12 hours before he gave her to the vet making her serology testing unavailable. he is an ex cop. I have a hard time picturing her last week and then her body decomposing for 24hours. When we got back to town I visited the facility with fans running and the stench emanating from the building. I lose sleep still.

They are always so excited to arrive in the morning and so tired when leaving after a long day of playing with the other dogs. All of the employees are always so friendly, and the services offered such as bathing, nail trimming and tooth brushing are high quality and a great value. Overall JDPC is a top notch spot and my dogs couldn't be happier!

I've been taking my Britney Sunny to Just Dogs since the day I met Carol, an owner, at a dog swim…read more At that time Sunny was a young dog and I appreciated the way he was paired with like minded dogs for play time. Sunny is an old dog now and I more than ever appreciate their attention to his changes in vision and coordination. They assure me he still gets the occasional zoomies with his friends during his regular weekly playdates! I know Sunny's happy if he's at Just Dogs for a day or a week. They're the best!

Before doing so, I visited the kennel and outdoor area and met a few of the staff. This isn't some Miami Beach pet spa, this is animal boarding in Iowa. We have found our boys to be well cared for, and the staff to be quite kind. HAFH is affordable, and I also like that this location is attached to a veterinary clinic, so should there be an issue, care is well within reach. I leave this review as I prepare to book them again for this weekend.

My dog is strong, independent, stout, loud, woman. haha. She can take a bit to warm up to strangers. Normally, if I have to go somewhere, I keep her with family. I recently moved to the area and no one was available to watch her when I had to leave on short notice. I took a chance with boarding a facility and I've used it ever since! The staff is pleasant, engaged, and seems to really take to my dog. They even have kept her in the front office with them while they work alone for kicks! They remembered her from our first stay, and always seem happy to have her back. In one instance, they had some extra suites so they gave her one since no one was using it (at not extra cost). They are always quick to respond and will try to make things comfortable for our pup but also are flexible on pick-up/drop-off in a pinch. I am sorry for others that have had poor experiences, but I am not one of them. My partner and I have used them now 3 or 4 times with great results and have decided to use them fully in the future.

This was my first time using this grooming business. My first impression of the building was that…read moreit smelled strongly of urine. I noticed that they share the building with a dog rescue so I thought maybe the kennels just had not been cleaned yet that morning-but it still smelled like urine when I returned to pick my dog up. The receptionist pointed out a front paw that had been hit by the dremel-she described it like road rash. When I got home I noticed that a lot of hair had been missed in the grooming and was somewhat uneven-my dog is a miniature poodle-and that her ears were uneven and shorter than requested. On further examination of her paws, it was actually a back paw that had been injured and was covered in a yellowish gunk. When I called to ask about it they said they put this on to stem the bleeding but that she did not bleed. Later in the week, I noticed my dog chewing on that paw and now I could clearly see she has a fairly significant cut on the paw. I also requested an incident report as soon as I got home. They said it would be provided in the "report card" they would send later that day. The report card came with a note basically blaming my dog for the injury and today-the "report card" is no longer available to access. My dog has been going to the groomer every 6-8 weeks for 6 years and has never had an issue. We are new to this community so I needed to find a new groomer. Needless to say, I will never return to this groomer. I wish I had the name of the person who was the groomer so I could make sure to never use her again-even if she goes to another grooming company.

Although we arrived around 8:30pm Maura took our English Pointer mix to the dog park to exhaust some of his pent up energy from the long car ride.

I would highly recommended and would definitely use them again next time we're passing through.
