This is THE greatest kennel I have found in Rockwall County! The staff is very professional but…read moremore than that, they know your pets names when you walk in the door. My dogs love this place! The Dog House always seems to make room for those spontaneous trips when you need to board or last minute baths that your pet may need when you are pressed for time. Rates are competitive but its like your pets are always surrounded by family and never left at a kennel.

I believe if this is change is made that this location would be a good place to go. Also leaving the original post so this update actually makes sense*** I took my dog to this place over christmas this year and when I picked her up she was covered head to tail in a very serious staff infection. I am not sure where she picked her up and there was no way to be certain, but what I can say is that there is no way that they could have over looked this. If they had contacted me we might have been able to start meds sooner. When I took her to the vet I was getting asked questions to help streamline her treatment, but when I called they would only keep telling me that the manager was in a meeting and would call me as soon as possible. This is the excuse I got the next day too. So far the manager hasn't called me. Edit: To be clear (in response to Brian) I don't think it was caused by the stay there, but it did get significantly worse to the point that it would be impossible to not notice it. The only way it could happen is if nobody spent a lot of time with her, which was a service that I did pay for.

Bought my first Bouvier here 36 years ago. Dr. Keith Taylor was the most caring and competent…read moreDoctor. Now on my forth Bouvier and although Dr. Taylor has retired I remain a loyal customer. The new staff and Doctors are a example of Dr. Taylors care. He did not just turn over his practice he made sure the future of ROCKWALL COUNTY VETERINARY CLINIC would keep the level of care he had built. I have only good things to say about all the staff and the Doctors who have attended to my Bouvier's. Recently I lost number 3 due to cancer. The care and compassion of everyone there was heart warming and so appreciated. Now on Bouvier number 4 and will only bring him here for the very best of care. Tp all at ROCKWALL COUNTY VETERINARY CLINIC THANK YOU . Doug Chambers

Terrible...completely incompetent. We gave them multiple…read morechances since all the reviews are great... 1) Entered dogs name incorrectly - they spelled it as BISQUIT. We informed them it was spelled wrong and they 'corrected' it as BISKIT... 2) We brought a sample in containing a worm and asked them to look at it. They called back and informed us that the sample tested negative. We were confused and asked for clarification on what exactly was tested? They said they didn't find anything. We reiterated that we brought in a sample containing a worm so how would there not be anything found when a worm was in the sample? They said they would go check again, and called back and said 'yepp there's a worm and 3 parasites'... 3) Called and they were confused because there were two dogs with the same first name and last name but spelled differently. We informed them that yes, that was your staff that incorrectly spelled her name TWICE so they ended up making two separate accounts which lead to confusion on their end anytime we called... 3) Fast forward about 6 months later, we received email reminders for her checkup. We called to make an appt and was told there was no record for a Biscuit in their system.... so how are we receiving emails? We have been there 4 times how are there no records? Receptionist got extremely rude and kept asking 'are you sure this is the right vet?' after we informed her for the 3rd time this was the correct vet, we have been there multiple times, and you are the one sending us emails. We told her either name it could be under and she continued to tell us there was no record but that someone with our dog's name did have the same last name, but a different first name... the spouses name was also the same name we had given them...the same phone numbers and the same emails....but you couldn't 'find it' and had 'no record?'.... 4) Told them we are done with this vet and their incompetence, and asked them to send over her records which we still have yet to receive.

It's like 100 degrees and they are just stuck in these kennels. I have seen reviews saying their dogs have burns on there elbows and body. There's your answer ladies and gentlemen. Also, saw one review that said they didn't give their dog the right dosage of medication. UMM... WHAT?!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NOT A GUARANTEE? I'm begging you. Don't go here. Or 'camp diggy bones' you need to step up your game. That's complete bs.

Please do not board your dog here. Kennels are outside, with no privacy or temperature control.read more

The people there cared about my dog but they always came home wreaking of urine. Ace always comes home smelling fresh and clean. Frankie posts daily photos and videos and you can really see how calm and relaxed the atmosphere is. Ace is always so excited to see Frankie and seems a bit sad to go home lol. Frankie trained with Cesar Millan and she really helped Ace with his separation anxiety, leash pulling on walks, and potty training. I feel better knowing Ace will be with Frankie during the day while I am away.
