I love this clinic. I don't know about these other reviews. They sound a bit fishy to me. I…read morehave been taking my dogs there for a couple of years now. They've done routine care and surgery, soon to be surgeries for one of my self destructive doggos. Dr. Wormwood and all of the staff are lovely people who genuinely care about their fluffy patients.

I got 2 new cats from the shelter. They needed a second shot. I was told they reviewed their…read morepaperwork and scheduled a visit for almost a month later. I didn't know the second shot needed to be with in two weeks. Due to their over site it cost us an extra $100 because the first shot needed to be re administered. I was frustrated never swore or yelled even once and told the girl at the desk I knew it wasn't her fault but I was frustrated. I was told the next day I was creating a hostile environment. They decided they would "let us" continue with them after I told them to watch the videos and that I was not aggressive. I told them I was concerned about of the the cats we got. We were brushed off and told nothing was wrong. Then we found out he had fip (80% survival if treated soon enough), and due to them not looking into it, he ended up with in 2 weeks as a secondary having an obstruction in his bowels which caused him to be septic and had to be put down. I will never ever trust my animals with this vet again. If I could put zero stars I would.

The folks at Just Fur Friends were welcoming, could fit us in same day (within 30min we were home again!), and - most importantly - let me hold my dog while he got his nails clipped quickly and precisely.

Obviously this is not a review of a full grooming, but the place was clean, staff were kind and understanding, and the price was perfect - just $5.

I had a very bad experience here. I was told one thing and a very different day happened for my…read morepuppy. He was left alone in a crate in a "cabin" with no toys to chew. I was told he would have a playmate, that didn't happen. That cabin is a room with nothing in it. I was told later there was miscommunication about his day. He was traumatized for being left alone and I was charged $80. I got an email that my puppy was spilling his water in his bowl and panting after they told me he swallowed a metal hook that was on the crate they put him in. I am pretty sure all puppies spill their water also why was a metal hook put anywhere near his crate in a room unattended. They double lock the crates so the dogs wont get out for "safety" yet they leave them alone to chew the lock and swallow part of it. They all seem fearful of everything and not experienced with puppies or how to do business. We went over everything the day before what his day would look like. His day was nothing near the plan we went over. They still had the audacity to charge me after all of that. This place is not worth the money they charge not even close. In response to this email screenshot I posted, of course he is stressed he was kept in a crate all day and he just swallowed a metal clip. I told the owner and the shift lead the day before, I don't crate my puppy, they reassured me he would not be in a crate at all. That wasn't true. They could have called me or text to tell me this. Because it was an email, I received it later. They told me because he is not fixed he was kept alone. They shamed me for not having him fixed yet, he is a young puppy! Over all terrible experience. These people are mean!

We are so thrilled to have found The Bark Yard for our dog, Evelyn. We had tried a couple of other…read moreplaces with our older dog who did not want to stay at any of them. She hung out in a corner by herself and clearly did not want to go back. We did not think we would ever put Evelyn in doggie daycare thinking she would never like one either. Then I heard about The Bark Yard from a friend who loved this place-as did her dog. We decided to try it with Evelyn. She absolutely loves going to this fabulous facility. I say facility but really its like a big comfy place for Evie to play with other dogs. The groups are small and dogs are placed together based on personalities, etc Its kind of like driving your young child to school and have them run off with their friends forgetting to turn around and wave at the you, the parent. Evie never looks back. I'd say this is a true sign that she loves this doggie day care for its staff, the other dogs as well as the nurturing environmentshe is surrounded by. Thank you, Bark Yard, I would give you 100 stars if they'd let me. Thank you to all of the staff and the owners. We think you rock! Thank you. Elisabeth

I had usually, maybe invariably and unfairly, thought of cats as being just other farm animals. I just didn't get it. When I started taking my cats to Cats On Call, I started to learn. Dr. Hoyt is probably the best vet for cats that I have ever met, and I've had a few more since leaving Maine. I value her knowledge and dedication to helping cats in distress. I have no idea where the bad reviews of Cats On Call are coming from - maybe it's just a case of different strokes for different folks. Regardless, if you are serious about helping your cat(s) when they need medical help, I'd suggest and recommend Cats On Call.
