I had brought in my husky mix dog to get a haircut for the summer. As I had arrived to the grooming…read moreroom, they had asked me what I was wanting done. I had specified that I wanted behind her ears cut to avoid matting but to leave the fringe at the front of her ears. I then told them to cut down her stomach, chest, and butt enough to where she felt comfortable and it looked good, but not too much where it was too short with her double coat. When I had picked her up, her ears and the fringe had been completely cutt off and I automatically noticed how choppy her ears and her chest was. I got home and as she was walking in front of me, I notice that there is one part on her back leg shaved and the other side is not. I was shocked to say the least and disappointed with the end result of her haircut. I have pictures down below, one being a picture of her with her fringe and one after the haircut. The rest are pictures of the shaved spot and how choppy her ears were.

They couldnt find the problem so I called Middle Valley (her vet) today and they told me we could bring her right in and drop her off to see Dr. Killian-perfect-that is who she always sees. Dr. Killian called me after he was able to see her and determined it was a back issue. He told me she would have to stay in a small Kennel for two weeks and it was imperative that she should stay in the kennel and only get out for a few steps to pee and poop. He suggested that I pick up a small kennel and have it ready when we picked her up. All good so far-I love Dr. Killian! When we picked her up we brought in two kennels to vet office to make sure we had the right size and was going to ask which size to use. We paid the vet bill-$800 and waited to be called to a room to further discuss and ask a few questions. Then a "vet tech" brought her to the WAITING AREA on a leash with her jumping up and down as she was excited to see us! I was shocked and so worried that she was going to damage herself further-that I really didn't even have words. He handed me two medications and told me once a day and twice a day-pain meds and then said Bye. Once my husband got the dog in the kennel and car I went back in to ask if any medication had already been given and any other information when should I give it-still shocked at how the dog had been brought out and very disappointed on how it all transpired. Very disappointed also, that we had not even been given a chance to ask any questions (just needed 5 minutes) to go over everything. Hubby was livid. We have been clients for a long time and have never experienced anything like this before and feel it should be addressed as I wish no one else to experience this, it was very disturbing and stressful.

We called to schedule weeks ago and asked for an estimated price, we were told $300 and decided to move forward because we really enjoy the vet overall and have had a good experience thus far. Once we got there (he had taken the medication necessary too) we asked again how much they thought it would cost and said $425ish. We were confused and said oh, we called previously and were quoted $300, they asked if we had a written statement and of course no, we just called. At this point, our dog was already at the vet and had medication to prepare for the surgery, so we felt like we had to move forward. Well, when we picked him up, we were charged $530 for the procedure. Once we asked why it raised, they knocked off $40 for a shot they didn't even give him. If we hadn't asked, we would've paid for something that he didn't even receive. Again, I'm not posting this to be ridiculous or rude, I genuinely have enjoyed our experience with Applebrook. But this instance left us super frustrated and disappointed. I'm only posting a review because we had told them multiple times we were initially quoted $300, and left paying over $500. Just do better about transparent pricing please! On the plus side, the vet techs are very kind and love our dog. Their puppy package has been great for his first year, and I generally would recommend them! I hope this review is more helpful than harmful to Applebrook and their transparency for pricing & educating their staff on handling conversations like this to provide clarity.

I use Labby Lane for our dogs every time I can. To my wife and I, our two dogs are family, and our fur babies. I trust Crystal, and everyone there, and never worry when we leave for any length trip. We know that our dogs are in the hands of someone that will treat them like family, and will give them the attention that they need. We love their facility, and it is the nicest that we have used. We have used a couple of different boarding facilities, some before we found Labby Lane, and others, when we needed someone too last minute to get an opening at Labby Lane. We make a point to book, if we already know when we will be out of town. We love seeing pictures put up on facebook, and seeing our dogs having fun. It really is a mini vacation for them too. They love the huge play area, and the kiddie pools in the summer. The nicest thing, is when I have been to pick up or drop off, all of the dogs seem so well behaved. They are not all barking and making a racket. They are accustomed to being inside, and you can carry on a conversation at a normal level. I send anyone I know looking to board their pets to Labby Lane, and I will continue to drive past other kennels, in order to use Labby Lane. read more

We have been using Labby Lane Kennel for around two years. We were new to the area and needed to find someone to care for our three pugs while we went to Nashville for the night. I had never boarded my dogs as I always had family or friends that would watch them. I searched and inspected many Kennel's.On my first visit out to Labby Lane, I was so impressed on how clean Chrystal kept the Kennel. Chrystal blew me away with her natural sincere caring for my dogs. It was just like she knew the pugs forever. Since then we have brought them back many times and the dogs start barking way before we get to her place. When we go to pick them up, it's like they don't want to come home with us. They run around the Kennel and give kisses to Chrystal and her family that she has working there. I will always take my dogs there and know that anyone else that chooses to use Labby Lane will be as happy as my husband and I have been!!! read more

Labby Lane is the only place I trust now with my dogs - they look forward to their time with Crystal and her family, and if they are happy then I am happy! Crystal treat her guests like family. The kennel is well-lit, heated and cooled, and cleaned daily. The dogs get exercise and lots of room to play in a 1-acre fenced grassy play park (on their own or with a friend, with your permission). There are baby pools for them in the summer, too, which the dogs love. She will even post photos of them on Facebook so you can see how well they are doing. Lots of individual attention, good communication and great environment - very low stress and easy on the animals. Also a big plus is that the family lives on site. It's a small business and you can tell immediately that they care about their clients and get to know their guests well. I recommend Labby Lane without reservation - Crystal and her crew are the best! read more

I've been using Labby Lane for several years. Crystal and her staff/family are fantastic. I know my pets are safe and loved in their care. If you have a FB account you are guaranteed to see pics of your pup having a great time. The grounds are clean and secure. Crystal goes above and beyond any of your expectations. She helped me through the unfortunate loss of my buddy Oso. She called me, emailed and sent me a wonderful card which helped me through this rough time. If you are looking for a place to keep your pets safe and loved while you're away this is the place. read more

We have boarded our toy poodle at Labby Lane many times over the 7 years we have lived in this area. I believe that Crystal and her family genuinely care about the dogs that they board and seem to take personal interest in them. This kennel is exceptionally clean and attractive. Crystal has been very accommodating when we needed to board our dog on short notice and she is flexible to the extent she can be on appointments. The great thing is that we do not worry at all about our dog when we board him because we know he will be well cared for. read more

Our dog Lionel loves going to Labby Lane, and we are pleased with the care he gets when boards there. We've used Labby Lane several times over the last few years. Crystal has been very accommodating when we've called on short notice. She gave us a comprehensive tour the first time we went there. I like that she'll post pictures of our boy on Facebook.

My three pups love, love, love Labby Lane Kennel. We have been using LLK for several years and wouldn't use anyone else. If you're looking for peace of mind while you're on vacation then LLK is definitely the place to leave your "kids".

They truly love what they do and it shows by the love they give to each and every dog/cat that stays at Labby Lane. read more

They are always prompt, polite, and professional. I have never seen any of the staff speak to or handle a dog with anything but kindness. My Pomeranian always comes home looking great, smelling good, and in a cheerful attitude. She has never shown any signs of stress or fear after her visits. The staff always gives me an update on how she did, they have educated me to better care for her coat, and they have never done anything I didn't ask for. If they were unable or uncomfortable with doing something, the groomers always consulted with me on what I wanted and what they felt best, so we have never had any surprises when picking her up. You can rest easy while your pet is at Groomingdales, knowing they are being treated and cared for by loving and knowledgeable staff. If you're making your first appointment, you may have a wait, but it is worth it to get onto their schedule. I'd recommend calling a week or two in advance of when you think your pup needs to be groomed. We just schedule our next appointment when we are checking out and have never had a problem with appointments.
