I've been dreading writing this review because I had to put my cat down here, but it's time…read more I came across Good Ground while looking for a nearby vet to bring my cat to when she suddenly stopped eating and drinking. My cat has had kidney disease for the past few years along with other issues that I'd been managing fairly successfully with medications, but I could tell something was really wrong and needed to find someone to take her to while I was out here (we live in Astoria). I chose Good Ground due to proximity and the fact that they had an appointment available later that day. I called my vet in Astoria to forward over her records so they'd have all the info and know her health had been on the decline. It was a long wait from the time we got there until we were seen, and when Dr. Swanson finally saw her she didn't seem to know anything about my cat's history even though I'd forwarded the records. I filled her in, and she recommended bloodwork and a urinalysis to learn more about what was going on, as well as giving her some fluids and a shot of antibiotics since her urine looked cloudy. I asked the vet if there was any food she recommended for cats in this state to entice them to eat. She recommended some kind of organic food you could only order online...I was looking for something that was easily accessible that was palatable. My cat didn't improve and got worse, so the next afternoon I was eager to talk to someone to find out what the bloodwork had found. The front desk person told me that the vet usually calls at the end of the day to talk about bloodwork but again I reminded her that my cat had not eaten or drank anything in days and that this situation is more urgent than that, that I'd want to bring her back in today if something could or couldn't be done. I finally heard back from the vet who confirmed my worst suspicions -- her kidney disease had progressed dramatically, and on top of that she had a terrible UTI. The vet kept calling my cat a he during this time which was also upsetting on top of getting this news, wasn't her gender anywhere in these results? She then talked about hospitalizing my cat for three days and giving her an IV to flush out her kidneys. I ask what the outcome of that would be. Best case, she tells me my cat lives another month and then we're right back where we are now. Worst case, my cat gets hospitalized for three days, comes home and crashes and we have to put her down anyway. I guess don't really know how folks are out here about their pets. I know it's the Hamptons, so maybe people here feel more inclined to throw money at the problem. But money aside (my insurance would've covered it), I couldn't imagine putting my cat through a hospital stay and have her last days of life be spent in a strange place which I know she hates, only to have her die a day later anyway. I was surprised that I had to be the one to bring euthanasia up in this conversation and not the vet. While I was waiting for this bloodwork, I had called my vet in Astoria who agreed that euthanasia was likely the best option for my cat at this stage. If you've had a pet for as long as I had my cat (14 years), you know when something is really, really wrong. Throughout her illness I'd always been so afraid I wouldn't know when the right time to put her down would be. If you have a chronically ill pet, I can promise you, you'll know. I will say that putting my cat down here was the kindest experience it could have been. The entire staff were extremely respectful and communicative during every part of the process. They even gave me a plaque with her pawprints imprinted in it as well as a paper with her ink prints. I don't know that Good Grounds is the best option in an emergency situation, but I do think that for more straightforward, non-emergent issues it would be a decent vet choice.

This morning I scheduled a grooming service for my champagne colored Havanese puppy, who was full of knots created in most part from the harness he's been wearing. He also happened to be beyond dirty having spent a week in NYC. Joe, the owner, gave him the full royal treatment, returning him to his pristine self with a clean face and cute squared off ears. Only wish I could upload a photo because he looks wicked cute. Not only does Joe have the perfect disposition for the grooming business, he is committed to ensuring you walk out deliriously happy with his service. We were blown away. Talk about make Petco feel like a production line. And the crazy thing was his VIP service was actually cheaper than what we pay at Petco. Go figure!! Can't say enough good things about our experience.

I visited animal shelters from Wantagh to the Hamptons and the Southampton Animal shelter foundation was the cleanest and most organized shelter I visited. Everyone who works there was friendly, knowledgeable, and were truly invested in finding good homes for the animals. They were familiar with all the residence and had a wonderful system of photos with information for each animal. They are everything you look for when looking for a shelter. I adopted 2 cats, Tiffany & Ashley after a recommendation from the staff at the shelter. The girls have lived with me now for about 6 months and everything the shelter shared about them was true. They are the most loving girls. Thank you Southampton Animal Shelter for your recommendation and everything you do for animals!

I did not know that they would call the vet to inquire about my current pets. I was rudely questioned about why my animal was not neutered yet. It was too early for me to schedule that appointment for my current pet. I was told my application is on hold until I make that appointment. I don't like that they pry into the business of my current pets with my vet without me first knowing! The shelter staff is unbelievably rude on the phone and didn't give me a chance to ask questions. What an awful experience. I will not be adopting from them. Nor will I be participating in their fundraisers and making future donations. I always supported this shelter. Not anymore!
