No problems in the past with taking my 2 OES dogs to the Doggie Lodge. That all changed today,…read moreTuesday, 01/13/2026. The employee, Tosha, at the front desk was rude & obnoxious. My dog pooped when he went in the door because he's always nervous when he gets groomed. My daughter-in-law Kim comes with me to take our dogs. Kim picked up Harley's poop & put it in a plastic bag that was provided. Because there was no container right outside the door (by the steps) like there normally is, Kim put the bag with poop on the counter. Tosha went off on Kim about putting the plastic bag on the counter & said for her to walk up to the entrance at the top of the hill to put it in the yellow garbage bin. Tosha continued yelling & even used the "F" word & said we're lucky that she didn't throw the poop bag on my car. I have never experienced that kind of treatment by any other employee at the Doggie Lodge & today will be my last day as a customer with 2 dogs. I think Tosha, at the least, needs to be reprimanded & also take a course in customer service. What a shame. Marcia Cavalier

They were so kind and caring at every step, from the initial phone call, to coming to the house to get my boy, to my picking up his ashes. Dawn even gave me the metal hardware from Sunny's TPLO surgery. The faux copper urn is beautiful. After a terrible interaction with a more well-known pet cremation company in Blair County left me in tears, I called PALS at a friend's recommendation. What a difference. These people truly care about the animals and about the people.

EDIT: After talking it over with my wife, I've decided to update the rating to this review. I…read morewill admit, maybe the original one-star was unwarranted. Nonetheless, my experience remains unchanged - and as I will agree with my wife, the vet here does a great job... ‐-‐--------------------------------------------- Stopped in to pick up, mind you, just pick up medicine for my wife's dog, this little excursion ended up being a 30-minute ordeal of a wait... I'm sure the vets themselves are good, but damn, that front desk staff leaves something to be desired. After getting there and announcing myself, I waited a solid 30-mins to pick up a few pills for my wife's dog. I waited as one staff member took care of another patron - in reverse (so to speak) - while the other talked, and talked, and talked to someone about some inane topic that droned on-and-on. I showed up before another couple but ended up waiting longer as that second staff member took care of that couple and got them out the door before I was even taken care of. Excruciatingly frustrating to say the least. I hope to never have to return here, or at least, let it be a long, long, very long time before I do...
