I went to Corpus Christi for a wedding at the end of October 2010. My friend that usually takes care of my two dogs backed out at the last minute and I was in a bind. I googled pet boarding facilites in Corpus Christi and found The Pooch Pad with the highest ratings. I called and spoke with Jennifer about my situation. She was very helpful with all the information regarding rates, requirements and expectations. Upon arrival, the receptionist was very friendly and tried to calm one of my dogs down (Tobias is hyperactive and friendly, Chloe is scared of everyone and everything). She explained what time we were able to pick up and if we wanted the dogs to enjoy play time with other dogs, what time to feed. The next day we picked up the dogs, both dogs seemed very happy. Chloe (my small nervous dog) was happy and comfortable with the dog handler/worker there. That brought me a lot of comfort (I know I baby her too much). We also received a cute letter regarding how the dogs played with the other dog residents for the weekend. ( I attached the picture on Yelp, its very cute). The workers told us how Chloe was shy at first then played with the other dogs. She also stated how my hyperactive dog Tobias played with everyone. About a week later, I received a email with all the pictures of the dogs playing together. There are some really cute pictures of my dogs playing with other dogs. That brought a big smile to my face!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the detail this place gave to my pets all throughout the stay and afterwards. I plan on using this place anytime I have a weekend getaway to Corpus.

My dog recently passed at their Visalia location (4240 W Mineral King Ave). It's clear this…read morelocation takes after corporate as it cares more about profits than any living being that enters its doors. While I don't blame this clinic for her death since she went septic after surgery, I absolutely blame the overnight staff for how cold and uncaring they were in her final hours. The communication was inconsistent at best and misleading at worst. I was told by a vet tech that she would likely die before any tests were finalized, only for the actual Vet to give a more hopeful update after a glucose treatment and discussion of transferring her to a 24/7 hospital in Fresno. Meanwhile, her actual medical record listed her prognosis as "guarded to poor." Despite knowing how serious her condition was, they refused to allow me to stay with her or figure out a way I could be present if she passed, despite me being the only customer they had in the building at that time. Being given false hope while being kept at a distance during her final moments is something I will never forgive and would warn anyone bringing their pet here this may also be done to you and your beloved pet. When she did pass, the lack of basic compassion became even more obvious. I was given barely any time with her, less than a minute, before being asked, whether I wanted cremation or to take her body. I am assuming something they were rushing since they were nearing their closing time. Again, they spent more time with me discussing payment than they allowed for me to grieve with my dog. Thankfully, I decided to take her body to her regular vet to allow me time to say goodbye. Additionally, what made it worse was the staff in the back laughing and making comments while this was happening. The walls are thin, and with no one else in the building, it was very easy to hear. Hearing that kind of behavior while your dog is dying isn't just unacceptable, it's disturbing. This wasn't my first experience here, and there has consistently been a noticeable focus on pushing expensive treatment plans as my previous time here I overheard one of the workers trying to swindle a man who's cat was sick into paying for any service under the sun. I would strongly advise anyone considering this clinic to question everything and not blindly agree to what's recommended. Losing a pet is devastating on its own. The way this clinic handled it made an already painful experience feel callous, impersonal, and unnecessarily traumatic. Compassion should be the bare minimum in this field, and based on my experience, it was completely absent here.

In order to ourweigh the PAID and apparently fraudulently posted reviews posted as authentic by…read morethis organization. I am mirroring AND agree that this operation is not at all what it seems. **** see below**** I would encourage people to look at the real reviews on Yelp before you consider this place. It all appears on Google, as if it's a loving adoption and foster business that loves cats. I do not believe the positive reviews to be legitimate or even real, here, on Google for several reasons. Friends and acquitances are unfortunately all too common, misleading the public. This is common, and taking a positive review or a series of them, need to be weighed by the negatives and the failure to respond to negative reviews, speaks volumes There is something nefarious with the reviews and their "Director". The reviews on Yelp mirror my experience. Rude. intentional avoidance, phone number never answered. It would be better in my view to just do something else if you're unable or unwilling to fulfill your alleged mission or mission statement. It is their desire, it seems, to discourage those seeking to bring a homeless feline, to save a precious life, from doing so. In onc instace, I've read the review was scathing and concerning, especially where immediate danger to some kittens, attacked by dogs, was allegedly ignored. This is believable, based upon my experience. If it is a matter of underfunding, that is understandable. But it doesn't negate or excuse the hostility toward potential clients and avoidance. Nevertheless, ignoring contact and multiple complaints about the director being "rude" should be of concern to anyone seeking their assistance. This was my experience as well. Use discernment because we all know that action speaks louder than words. ***DO NOT RISK YOUR ANIMALS LIFE, HEALTH, OR TRUST THIS ORGANIZATION.

My dog REALLY needed to be groomed and they were able to fit me in same day! Awesome!! All of the ladies there were very sweet and I could tell my anxious and dramatic dog felt at least somewhat comfortable when I picked her up because she wasn't trembling like she has done at other groomers. All the pets wait to be picked up in small but decent size individual cages and they get their own little pillow to sit on which I thought was great. All pets seemed comfortable. Great cut and great price! $32 for a puppy style cut on my old lady. I'll be back!!!
