    Our baby Meeka at Ideal Pet Care.
    Maria C.

    We have lived in Onslow County for several years and have utilized other veterinarians in our area with our previous pets; with some positive and negative experiences.  Recently, we added a miniature dachshund to our family which brought us to Ideal Pet Care.  Dr. Brinson has recently taken ownership of this facility, she is by far one of the most caring veterinarian I have ever met...as first time dachshund parents she took the time to explain dieting, potential medical issues and answered our many questions. Her staff is proficient, professional and very friendly.  The facility itself is very clean, newly renovated and is extremely pet friendly.  One of my favorite things during this visit was that we were not treated as dollar signs and numbers but a family with a new fur baby.

    We've been bringing our animals here since about 2004 (minus three years we moved out of state) and have never had a bad experience. Appointments are pretty easy to get (usually within a week) but you can get in sooner if it's something more critical. The vet techs are always nice and you can tell they really like the animals. The vets themselves (I believe there are two) are also nice and seem to really care about what's going on with your pet. They have a big waiting room but not a lot of seating, so you may end up having to sit with your dog next to a cat in a crate (unless you want to stand or walk around). It's never been a big deal (i.e. it's never been so busy there was nowhere for me to sit) but I'm just letting you know. They also offer boarding for your animals, though we've never had to use it. There is a smallish store attached with everything from toys and treats to food and leashes. Prices can be all over the place--some things are WAY more expensive than you'd find elsewhere, but then I've also found some things are cheaper...so YMMV. Overall, I'm really happy this place is five minutes from my house and I'd definitely recommend them. P.S. If you're on AT&T, forget about getting a signal here.

    They take great care of all my pets. Dr. Brinson takes the time to explain everything. All of the staff are friendly and helpful.

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.

    We LOVE Animal House! We have boarded pets there and groomed them as well and have never been…read moretreated like anything but family by the staff. When our Golden, Allie, was old and sick they took very good care of her when we had to go out of town for a funeral. They made sure she had her meds on time and took her out to exercise away from younger, jumpier dogs. After she passed away, and the grieving was not so raw, we adopted a mini schnauzer from a rescue. This dog is the exact opposite of our docile Allie. He didn't have a very good life before we got him and that left him with some issues. But the staff understands and they have helped us a lot with working through those. He goes in from grooming and Leslie always does a great job with him. She 'gets' him. When we first started taking him there, I couldn't get him out of the car. He was terrified. I went inside and Wanda came out and coaxed him out of the car. Had to do that a couple times, but now he jumps out, pees on the plants and saunters in the door like he owns the joint. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

When dropping him off I told the person at the counter not to shave him totally and the girl looked at my friends account on the computer and told me that she understood because there were notes saying how to clip him. My friend came at 4:30 to pick up her dog and was told they hadn't started working on him yet! She waited 30 minutes until they were done. When they brought him out to go home it was a real chop job, the ridges from the clipper were visible from the side it was obvious that certain areas were shaved unevenly. The hair on the head and around the ears was chopped with no attention to detail. She was shocked and spoke to the owner about how awful the job was and asked for a partial refund, at least for the tip given. The owner said she would get back to her and never did. I have clipped and shaved my own dogs at home and know I could've done a better job!
