Someone referred us here and they noticed what a sluggish terrier he is and opted to do blood work. Low and behold, he had zero thyroid function. The underlying cause of all his medical issues. Someone finally took the time to listen to what I was saying and look at his behavior. The staff her is also wonderful. Always helpful, we never have a long wait in the waiting room; nor do they place us in a room only to sit for hours. I can't say enough about this wonderful group of doctors and vet techs. I highly recommend them!

A staff member called our dog's name, told us to weigh him, then walked away without assistance. My husband and I are allergic to cats and were already having reactions--we had been sitting outside because of this--but no one gave us guidance or told us to step back out once she returned and took our dog without explaining anything. Overall, the experience was confusing, stressful, and lacked basic customer service. We will not be returning. If I could give zero stars I would.

My wife and I have taken our two 12-year-old dogs to American Pet Resort since we moved to New Bern…read more2 years ago for both boarding and daycare services. Though expensive, we have had nothing but good experiences keeping our dogs with them until most recently. One of our dogs, a very social and well behaved West Highland terrier, was banned from spending any time with other dogs on the 2nd day of a 7-day stay after bitting another dog. He spent 6 out of the 7 days of our trip either in the kennel or, for some reason, the hallway outside the kennel while our other dog was in the kennel--a very strange decision given that he's great with our other dog. Why not have them in the same space? Though my Westie has never shown signs of violence or aggressiveness before, I realize the need for them to be careful and protect the other dogs, but no one at American Pet Resort contacted us to tell us what had occurred. We learned after looking at the online cameras. There we saw our Westie confined to his kennel while all the other dogs, including our second dog, were playing outside. Why didn't someone from the kennel call us to let us know? That kind of proactive communication is something I expect. I was none too pleased to find out what happened only after having to make a call to find out why our Westie was left alone in his kennel during outside time. While away, I made a call suggesting the staff place my Westie and my second dog in a separate outdoor space with one another. The staff member I spoke to said they would do so, but they only did so once. Our Westie spent the next 5 days out of our 7 day trip in either in his kennel or the hallway (?) just outside of the kennel, and has been banned from outdoor play with other dogs during future visits. We will make sure that there will be no future visits.

Such an incredible facility with an amazing staff. We won't use any other kennel again. They explain everything and provide a tour of the facility. They have an incredible training reputation as evidenced with all the awards on the walls in the office. The website provides a historical overview of the training they've done. Highly recommend this place to take care of your dogs. They took great care of ours.

About six months ago my wife and I adopted a beautiful Labradoodle. His name is Teddy and at the…read moretime we picked him up he was 4.5 years old. He came with some bad habits especially while on the leash. Our Veterinarian recommended Bill Mattis at River Ridge Kennels. After we talked to Bill on the phone we enrolled Teddy in the six week obedience training course. And what a blessing! We found their prices very reasonable and the training was excellent. There were six dogs in our class and each dog had their own set of issues and personalities. The love, respect and compassion Bill showed our pets was nothing short of amazing. Well, Teddy passed with flying colors and my wife and I did as well. Bill and staff come with many years of experience and I can't give enough praise to Bill as he is the consummate professional when it comes to training dogs AND their owners. We highly recommend River Ridge Kennels and Bill Mattis.

They went above and beyond to accommodate me and my Kingston. And they updated me with pictures and comments every single day as to his comfort and well-being.

And then today I got a package with the rainbow bridge story as well as a beautiful card with everyone who attended to Kingston, just that one week , with memories and signatures. What a top-notch family and a fabulous business. I highly recommend them to everyone.
