BEST DOG BOARDING EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!…read more There are not enough wonderful things to say about Grammy & her dog boarding business! We took a trip to universal for 5 days, all the way from Maryland. Trying to find a dog boarding business that would accommodate our late arrival time after our 12 hour road trip was few and far in between..and then I found Grammy! Her existing reviews were already extremely reassuring, and then I reached out with our information to see if it would be feasible. She got back to me immediately and was so patient and flexible with our drop off and pick up times, it was truly so easy to book and set everything up! Fast forward, we get to Grammy's around almost 1 in the morning, after driving for 12 hours with our sweet Cherry Tomato! And wow was I shocked, our girl usually can be a little standoffish with entering new places/going into unfamiliar homes...I don't even think she looked back at us once Grammy was there! She got right out of the car and just went straight on up to Grammy and was greeted by the sweetest woman! We were floored! She was tail wagging straight through the front door and it was so reassuring for us! Grammy also kept us updated with pictures every hour during the days she was there! We got to see all her new friends she made and our Cherry just having the best time! We couldn't recommend Grammy more! Overall 1000000/10 experience and I have never felt more peace of mind leaving my baby with someone new. We will absolutely be boarding with Grammy for all of our future Orlando endeavors and I highly recommend you do too! We can't thank you enough Grammy!!!

I met Tai and Lexi at a decoy seminar In April of this year, Tai was the Instructor. Tai is…read moreknowledgeable, precise, and was able to break down the science when it comes to decoying a dog. Since The decoy seminar, I have worked very closely with Tai and Lexi when it comes to obedience and bite work with dogs. Throughout the months, I got to see in person and through their social media pages that they are meant for this profession. They are able to work with all breeds and size of the dog does not matter. I have seen clients walk out the front door with smiles on their faces with their dogs are also really well behaved because of the work that Lexi, Tai, and also their trainer Max does daily. A lot of people always talk about wanting to have more obedient dogs. This is the place to go.

I recently used their services to board my two dogs. They had previously been boarded at another…read morefacility but they were fully booked and Woof Tang, while quite a drive, was highly rated and had the cameras for their rooms that we love to have. First of all the price is great in my opinion. Their facility has plenty of play space and the livery room we got was large. We always want, maybe even need, to be able to check in on them. While on past stays we would look and find them pacing and awooing all night. Something about this place made them zen. They looked out the windows, climbed and snuggled in their bed. We signed up for both of them to get a bath before pick up but due to some error with their system only our little guy got his, which was sad because if we had to pick we would have picked her. For our two dogs it was $115 a day for the luxury suite. When we arrived to pick them up we expected our Dachshund to scream like he does when we come home and our Auggie to go crazy and we were so disappointed when they came up to us like okay cool, summer camp is over? Not one cry or bark, no jumping or crazy tail wags. Next time we hope to board them for training. Our dogs would have required 3 weeks and that just didn't work for us right now.

I had to board my three dogs for the Thanksgiving weekend. This was a location I found that I…read morethought would best be suitable for them. I knew the price was going to be expensive especially since it was happening the week of Thanksgiving. However, I did get a nice discount by showing them my teacher ID which saved me $100 on my total, so that was nice. The staff here seemed pretty nice. I had no issue with check in or dealing with the staff. They seemed knowledgable and friendly. The facility has cameras all over where you can tune in for free via their webcams and see what your dogs are up to when they are at play time. When we dropped them off on Thursday I saw them on the webcam outside hanging out with other dogs. I felt pretty good when I saw my dogs having fun with the other doggies. Unfortunately, this was the last time I ever saw them on the webcams. I was on a cruise from Friday till Monday. I bought the internet package on my cruise specifically so I could check in on my dogs to see how they were doing. I did not have a schedule for when my dogs would be outside for play time to check in on them. Therefore, it was all chance and luck. Well, either I was very unlucky or something fishy was going on. On Friday morning, I logged in at 6 AM and did not see my dogs outside, but did see other dogs outside with one of the handlers. Later on in the day, I checked in again around 10 AM and 11 AM--still did not see my dogs. I continued this process for the next several days at random times, (6, 7, 10, 11, 1, 3, 4, & 5 PM) and I still never saw any of my dogs on any of the webcams. I thought it was really strange though that I kept seeing the same batches of dogs other than my own. On Monday, I came to pick up my dogs. They looked and acted fine, but I still wonder to this day why I never had the chance to see them on webcam. It just left a weird feeling in my gut. On top of that, I only received one report card about how my dog did while I was gone. The responses to how my dog did felt very AI-generated and not personable. So at the end of the day I have no idea what happened with my dogs' stay at Pet Paradise. Hopefully they were treated well and got plenty of time to run around outside and socialize with other dogs because I never witnessed it besides day one.

I would highly recommend not taking your pets to this Vet. Not only is the practice manager Wendy…read moreextremely rude, but is also clueless. Having someone like her run the business, she will run the business to the ground . They try to bait and switch In every scenario. I have my pet who gets treated by central Florida cardiology for his cardiac needs. Dr Shah Lied and said that this particular Vet is not a Cardiologist. Upon research, I found that in fact, he is a Cardiologist. The reason for her lies is because she supposedly teams up with a cardiology team from Miami and she recommended that I use them instead. I set up an appointment for my dog, and the practice manager has No clue where the Cardiologist that they supposedly use are coming from. Come to find out my dog was set up for a echogram by someone who does sonograms who is not a Cardiologist and Dr. Shah receives kickbacks for recommending this non-qualifed individual. I requested a call back from the vet a couple days ago and never heard anything back from her . They are Scam artists!!! Stay far away!!!! The information in the response from Wendy only validates my experience. I am fully aware of what the definition of slander is working in the legal field for many years. I would encourage Wendy to reframe from talking about legal terminology without any legal understanding. The first amendment permits freedom of speech and I have full right to write a review based on my experience without being threatened as a response. I have looked back at other bad reviews about this business and every time a bad review is written Wendy threatens slander. The information provided in her response was not provided during our conversations. I have proof of texts in writing as evidence. It appears Wendy has now done research after the fact to appear more knowledgeable in her response here. It is my first amendment right to inform the public of the terrible business practices of this veterinary practice.

She's always patient and caring and empathetic. I had to take him in about a week ago because he started limping really badly on his back left leg and she immediately did a examination on him concluded that nothing was broken, but that it was a really bad sprain and she was 100% right! He has slowly been working it out and he's walking much better now. But during that time - I also saw her get emotional because his tumor has grown a little bit and she cares so much for the pets she cares for. I also love that the office is open the first weekend of the month as well.

When looking for a place to board your dog on a Disney day, Best Friends Pet Hotels a convenient…read more option. I have now left my puppy there several times and most of the time she was quite complimentary. There are, however, pluses and minuses, and sadly the minus of my last visit may keep me from coming back. First the positive things. The place appears very clean and well kept. You can view the play areas as well as the area where they walk the pets. They appeared to do an excellent job although I did notice one time the person walking the dog at the time looked as if they would rather be anywhere else but there. When you walk in, there is a front desk, which is somewhat understaffed for the crowd that comes in it about the same time every morning. It varies on how much time you will spend waiting for intake. Every member of the staff has been extremely friendly and the experience at the front desk can only be described as warm and welcoming. My dog is sociable and loved meeting new friends in the lobby. There is an array of merchandise for purchase. Prices are slightly higher than you would pay at some other places. At the desk, you also have the opportunity to give any instructions and leave food, toys, or anything else you would like your dog to have. I must say they are also good at making sure that whatever you leave you also get back at the end of the day or whenever you pick your furry friend up. After check-in, they pleasantly take your dog and the people that do have the personalities that make the dog excited to go off with them. Pick up as much the same with variable lines and taking varying times. Sometimes they give a report card, sometimes they do not. The report card will let you know how your dog interacted with others during playtime. They will also give you details about eating and other things. Yes, I know I've made it sound perfect. Problem was that the last time I arrived purposely leaving time for my pet to eat before playtime with clear instructions on feeding and a package of food for her to eat. Based on my prior visits, I was confident that she would do well. I purposely did not arrive too close to playtime for them to have time to feed her before bringing her to play. When I picked her up, they gave me a report that she ate most of her food and had her usual fun time. It was bot until I arrived back at my hotel that I found that the food I had brought was uneaten and in fact unopened. And when I put food out, she was absolutely starving and ate every drop immediately. I called as they are still open late, but the phone rang and I allowed it to ring for over an hour with nobody picking up. Red Flag 1. I sent an email and got a response by phone the next day telling me that because it was a holiday (it was actually July 3) they were very busy in the morning so started bringing the dogs to play earlier and did not have time to feed her. Suddenly, the picture did not look as bright. Red flag number 2. As they told me that she had eaten, now everything they tell me or right on the report card becomes suspect. While they told me they would pay more attention to her next time, making excuses does not take away the doubts left behind by the discrepancy between what they told me and what actually happened that day. I paid good money, literally around $90 for her to be cared for and to play for one day. I was willing to pay the high prices with the expectation of high-quality. I did not get that. Offering to do the job right next time hardly makes up for doing it wrong that time. Which is why I think I will be looking for other options in the future.

Pros: Reliable way to transport your pet. Fair pricing. Easy in terms of setting everything up…read more Deena transported our dog safely and was very friendly. Gave updates with pictures which was great. Very convenient. They worked well with my very nervous dog. Cons: Not the best communication in terms of updating when pickup was taking place. They give you an estimated time window for pickup and say they will contact you closer to the time window to give you a more specific pickup time. I had to call two different times and speak to 5-6 people on their after hours answering service in order to find out there was a 2-3 day delay on what was supposed to be the day of my pickup. I eventually was placed in contact with management and they were great. The delay itself is understandable, but it would have been ideal to have been given a heads up beforehand.

Blue Collar Pet Transport -- 1 star…read more I hired Blue Collar Pet Transport to move our dog Radar and two cats from New York to Texas. Radar died within 48 hours of being placed in their care. He was 3.5 years old and healthy. We waited about a month to post this while awaiting the necropsy. It came back inconclusive -- because Radar was not brought to a veterinarian until full rigor mortis had already set in. Full rigor takes 6 to 12 hours to develop (per the vet). That means Radar was dead for hours before anyone at Blue Collar realized it. Two independent pathologists confirmed the body had decomposed too much to determine cause of death. The reason we don't know what killed our dog is a delay entirely inside Blue Collar's control. We were notified by text in the middle of the night. Calls to Blue Collar went unreturned. The first person we actually spoke to was the emergency vet who declared Radar dead-on-arrival -- and who was concerned enough about the circumstances that she recommended the necropsy. Here is what I wish I had known: They rely heavily on subcontractors. The people you speak to when you book are not the people transporting your animal. When something goes wrong, the customer-facing employees stop responding and you are handed off to contractors who have no direct obligation to you. There is no physical location. No office to visit. Blue Collar keeps no real logs. No route log. No stop log. No welfare log. No documentation of feeding, watering, walking, or check-in times. When we asked for records of what happened during the trip, there was nothing to produce. The only route data we obtained was screenshots of the driver's Life360 app that we cobbled together ourselves. Life360 is a personal location-sharing app, not a transport logging system. From those screenshots we found stretches close to four hours with no documented welfare check on the animals on the day Radar died -- a day when temperatures exceeded 100°F. Updates were not what was promised. We were told 4 per day. Most days we got one -- sometimes a short video, sometimes less. We also suspect the crate Radar was placed in was undersized (per a written statement from the boarding kennel we had used for years) -- but with no logs, there is no way to confirm. Their communication is poor and defensive. Their main channel is a group chat in an app called GroupMe. The initial incident report we received had basic facts wrong -- the wrong age for Radar, the wrong breed, and a timeline that did not match Blue Collar's own records. It was not written by the driver on the scene -- it was written by their subcontractor route coordinator, who was on a plane at the time of the incident. It is incredibly irresponsible that the person responsible for coordinating the transport of our animals was unreachable, in the air, while the trip was in progress. When we tried to reconstruct what happened, that same route coordinator asked us: "what exactly are we in search of currently?" When we pushed back for accurate information, we were told we were chasing conspiracy theories. When we formally requested all internal communications about Radar's death, we were told there was zero written internal communication that did not happen in the customer group chat we were part of. No internal email thread. No investigation memo. No documented review. Once payment was resolved, Blue Collar employees stopped responding. They refunded us, and after that all communication from actual Blue Collar staff went silent. I tried to reach the owner on LinkedIn -- no response. Blue Collar has also disabled Recommendations on their Facebook business page so customers cannot leave reviews there. The company has changed names at least once (formerly Millennium Pet Transport) -- search carefully, older reviews may not surface under the current name. We are not the only ones. Multiple families have described the same pattern via Facebook victims' groups and Instagram/YouTube reviews: an animal in Blue Collar's care under 48 hours, animal dies, animal is not brought to a veterinarian until in full rigor mortis. In the end, this is not a professional company that should be entrusted with the care of your animal.
