Specifically, Misty was wonderful and we were super happy with her service. Her reports were very detailed and I can tell that our cats were happy hanging out with Misty too. However, this review is more on Scott who runs the business. I've asked Scott's pet service company three times. And for two out of three I had negative experience with the way Scott behaved or talked to me. I'd give 1 star to Scott's behavior, due to a disappointing experience that I had interacting with him. Scott's negative attitude and lack of respect made me uncomfortable. The way he talks is as if he is the guardian of all the cats in the world and he knows more about our cats than we do Scott gave me the impression that he tries to bust me, or initimidate and undermine me. A good sitter should respect the owner's wishes and follow their routines that they have established through years of living and loving their cats. But what I saw from Scott was completely opposite. He kept interfering with our routines and trying to undermine our decisions. The way he behaves is as if we have to report to him for the decisions and routines that we have for our cats with whom we've had the pleasure of living for over 3 years. This is not acceptable. He should more mindful of the way he interacts & talks with people and respect their privacy and routines.

After a lot of research, we decided the LOVE spay was the best option for our girl. I came across Dr. Ryan Tedder at Coastal Animal Hospital. I was nervous about the procedure, but wow, this doctor is an absolute GEM. If only everyone was like him! He took the time to fully explain the LOVE spay procedure, answered all of our questions, and eased every doubt we had. The day came, and it was a successful surgery. Dr. Tedder called afterward, walked us through exactly how everything went, and when we picked her up, he went through everything again with us and explained her recovery. This is a far drive for us, but we will absolutely make it every single time if it means receiving this level of care for our girl. If you're worried about the LOVE spay or are thinking about this clinic, I promise you this is the right place. The staff is great, with the all-star Dr. Tedder manning the helm.

I never felt rushed which was appreciated and he had a very gentle demeanor about him. Unfortunately, our last visit didn't go well. I brought my dog in because his gums had started bleeding the night prior and there was blood in his stool. Dr. Burghardt diagnosed him with ITP, meaning he had low blood platelets, as was confirmed with blood testing that day. I was sent home with him that Friday afternoon with steroids. After reading more about the disease online, I called back later that day with follow up questions, but Dr. Burghardt had already stepped out for the weekend. We ended up taking our dog to the emergency vet later that evening and I'm so glad we did. Upon arrival, they said his platelet level was so low (essentially zero) that he was at risk for spontaneous bleeding - with potential to occur in his brain or lungs - and needed close monitoring and additional immune support. He ultimately died the next day after not responding quickly enough to the steroids and the identification of a tumor on his spleen (the likely culprit sending his immune system into a spiral). I'm mostly disappointed that we were sent home from Companion Pet Care on a Friday afternoon with little information, knowing that they were closed through the weekend. I don't think the severity of this condition was taken seriously enough or relayed to us in an appropriate manner. The office manager did call on Sunday to check in on him, at which time I shared that he had passed. I called back on Monday to see if they had received the ER records and to ask if Dr. Burghardt could call back at some point to summarize what had happened based on the medical records. At that point we were in shock and still confused since everything had happened so fast. We never got a call back or email which was really unfortunate. I would have thought he'd at least want to connect with us once since our dog was his patient and had died over the weekend. Ultimately, no one is to blame here but I don't feel like the situation was handled appropriately. I'm just so thankful we did our research and listened to our gut and brought him to the ER that evening so that he could be kept on fluids and oxygen support until it was his time to go. Apparently, ITP can develop and worsen VERY quickly. Keeping him at home would have been an awful experience and I'm sure the guilt we would have carried would have been unimaginable. More than anything, this is a warning to other pet owners that if you see those signs, please go to the ER immediately. This is not something you want to treat at home. Even if they seem fine in that moment, they could worsen within a matter or hours as our little guy did.

This place is such a rip off and it left me really emotionally messed up that I left my dog there for a week. I had to go out of town and it was so last minute that I couldn't find a friend to watch my dog so I left her here. They asked me if I wanted to pay and extra $3 a day for her to have "one on one " time with an employee. I felt really guilty not paying for it because I didn't want my dog to be caged up all day and she is very shy with other dogs so I figured human contact would be the only way for her to not be a wreck. You really can't ask your dog if she was played with every day for 15 minutes like you paid for, but I can pretty much guess that never happened since when I picked her up her entire stomach was matted up so bad that I had to get her shaved. It was a week!!! I've gone a month without brushing her and she only got a couple of knots that were easily brushed out . I suspect she was taken out to pee 2 times a day and then kept locked up in her tiny kennel without any movement, that's my her belly was all matted. I could go on, but you get the point. I'd ask your nearest humane society to lock your dog up for the time your gone, they'll be treated a lot better. read more

We've boarded our small breed dog there for a long weekend, but when we came back and tried to drop the dog off for day camp, we were told she was "too shy" for camp, so they locked her in a cage all day and knocked $5 off our bill. That irked me a bit, since the reason for camp was to socialize and exercise her, not let her sleep in a kennel all day. This was a red flag to us that the staff may not have the training and experience to properly manage animals. We have since went to another dog camp in the area, which our dog absolutely adores and gets giddy whenever we put on her going-to-camp collar. She plays with other dogs much more than she ever did, and comes home tired and ready to receive belly rubs. Back to our boarding experience, we found they did a lot of "nickel and diming" on top of their advertised boarding fees. Baths are mandatory at the end of a stay. If you do not measure out your dog's food in advance, there is a feeding fee. If they claim your dog needs special attention, there is a fee for that (our dog didn't required that, but it is in the fine print). read more

One of the great things about Dirty Dogs is that it is cage free. So find another way to increase prices more legitimately, and until then I will have to think twice about coming in again or as often. A friend of mine said that he cut back on the amount that he tips to make up for this charge. That's not fair to the groomers. But it's his way of letting you know that he doesn't approve of this frivolous fee either.
