At first we were super stoked to find this ranch, where our dog could run and play with others. We…read morerescued our bull terrier mix last November from the local SB shelter. We set up a play date knowing we were unsure how he would do (not really knowing his history or past experiences). We visited the ranch on a few play dates before we decided to leave him there while we traveled for a week on vacation. The day play dates were perfect for our rescue dog. He'd come home tired and exhausted, not to mention well exercised. He was always excited to go back. We did learn, after our first play date- that he cannot be run with other dogs- as he gets too excited and starts to push his weight around, causing some annoyances for other dogs. That being said- the ranch was willing to work with him and stated they wouldn't run him in a group setting, yet instead run him in a horse pin up the road. We were stoked they were willing to make the extra effort and work with him. So the time came for us to leave him for a week while we traveled on vacation. We were out of cell range for the week, but had left phone numbers where we could be reached on a landline phone. Not once did we receive a phone call. The night before our return, we were able to find cell service and texted the ranch about what time we were planning on picking up our dog. At that time they stated he had been in a little scuffle, but it was nothing big, not to worry, and asked if we wanted them to bathe him (an extra $25), to which we said no. The next afternoon, we arrived at the ranch to find our poor pooch pretty scraped up. They had just finished running him so he was exhausted. We gathered his food and felt like they were rushing us out- stating they had other dogs to run. So we got in the car and headed home. It wasn't until we arrived home and bathed him that we saw the extent of his injuries. He had 2 big scrapes on his ear, 5 good sized scrapes across his forehead, 2 deep cuts on his nose, 2 puncture wounds in his neck, and all his paws were bloodied and his nails has been pulled away from his pads. Not only were his wounds much worse than we expected- but they were full of dirt and grime. I felt like they didn't even bother to clean him up after he sustained these wounds. When we asked about what went down while we were gone, the owner kept changing her story, that he was actually in 2 fights, and that he went after one of her ranch dogs (that he yanked the leash out of her hand and attacked her dog). Yet- at pick up, nothing was said about any other dog being injured, yet they made it very clear- that had our dog injured another dog- that we would be responsible for any vet bills. Yet here our dog was totally battered and scarred and not once did they offer to pay for his vet bills. Nor did they bother to tend to his wounds. It has now been 3 weeks since we picked up our dog from Sam's Doggy Dude Ranch, and he still doesn't have any hair on his scrapes, one of his puncture wounds on his neck is still healing, and I'm pretty sure his black nose will be scarred forever with 2 nice pink stripes from the cuts his sustained. His feet, pads and nails have healed nicely, as we soaked them in epson salts twice daily followed by using paw conditioning cream. They totally over-ran him up there EVERY SINGLE DAY! We had stated at drop off he didn't need to be run every day, as he's used to neighborhood walks and bike rides. Overall I feel the ranch was negligent in watching our dog. Any owner would be disappointed if they arrived to pick up their dog and saw him in this poor condition. I would have only given them one star, but I settled on 2 since the single day play dates seemed to work well for us. The ranch was willing to work with him, knowing he was a rescue and we didn't know his history. The staff at the ranch seemed nice and caring, so perhaps this incident was just a mishap. They did rip up our check, and didn't charge us for his week long stay, but I still feel they should have taken better care of our dog. Would I recommend this place to my friends? No. Would we ever return to Sam's Doggy Dude Ranch? No. And we're super sad about it too, because in the beginning we thought we had hit the jack pot.

Sam's Doggy Dude Ranch is a great-looking place with some flaws. If you take a look at their web…read moresite, you can see that it's an open-kennel design so your dog will get plenty of exercise and company. So far so good. The owners will also take the dogs out on ranch outings where they run alongside an ATV. A little bit scary. When we toured the place, our dog who was pretty small at the time, got his head basically run over by the ATV. I saw his head go under the wheel and I thought it was all over, but amazingly enough he just yelped and ran off--no damage. Even so, we decided not to authorize ranch outings during his week-long stay. The owners are friendly and accommodating--even if a bit forgetful--they had forgotten that they had nearly run over my dog. Oh well. Anyway, we dropped him off and came back a week later and he was fine, except for a number of nasty cuts and what looked like puncture wounds. I don't know if they had a particularly aggressive dog there or what, but he had a 2-inch cut on his side and several other deep punctures. I was expecting some cuts and scrapes because it is an unsupervised open kennel, and we did sign a waiver of rights that mentioned the possibility of cuts and scrapes, but I wasn't really expecting quite such big wounds. When we picked him up, there was a very nasty border collie who growled and bared his teeth at me. Not pleasant--maybe he was the problem. The owner told me that he was the on-site vet tech's ranch dog. I like the fact that there's an on-site vet tech, but I don't like the fact that she had such a nasty, unsocialized dog. Because of the ranch dog and the wounds, I don't think we'll take our dog back here. It's a shame--it's a really nice location and a great setup. Maybe they need to be a bit more particular about what dogs they accept. I think that would help.

My dog is always so happy after her appointments too, which really shows me they take such good care of her because she is a very anxious dog. I had taken my dog to a previous local groomer and after switching to 3-C's, we haven't looked back. It was a huge difference between how good her cuts are now compared to then and her behavior after being groomed. They really take their time to make sure their cut is perfect and they always give them a cute bow or bandana that perfects the look. They are also educational and will point you to the right products and tools for your pup. I always recommend them to everyone I know with dogs. You really get what you pay for and it is so worth it! Their pricing and policies are listed all at the front and they do ask you what you would like to be done, so there are no surprises. Every professional grooming place will have additional fees for matting, behavior etc. so that should not be a surprise either. Their customer service is amazing and they all have truly beautiful energy. I highly recommend you take your pups here!

This "man" is an awful human being that got into the wrong line of work. I went there twice and my dog and I were both absolutely traumatized both times. I went back the second time to give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he was having the worst day of his life the first time, but no... he's just a complete vapid waste of human space... an ass**** of the highest regard. Dr. Sam? Can you hear me? I know you can. Might I recommend you take that bottle of ear wash and shove it far up your own cavity. Maybe a quality wash might help. Nothing could make you behave worse toward animals OR the humans that love them.. that's for sure. You can bet that I will / have told everyone in my atmosphere to not go here. FIRST REPLY: To respond to your comment, let me say that I agree that feedback needs to reflect full and accurate context, so I'll remind all the readers that you have an ulterior motive to respond and lie (such as: call me a liar and/or delusional), because the success of your business can be effected by these reviews. On the other hand, I don't have an ulterior motive, my life moves on whether I tell the truth or not... and I am telling the truth. Look how many reviews on here talk about how inappropriately Dr. Sam behaves. It's an issue. You can ignore it, but it doesn't stop being an issue, even if you do. Dr. Sam was absolutely brusque in his communication, but it's funny, because he yelled at me to essentially get out of his way while they examined him, but then when they couldn't control him anymore, they asked for my help. Hmm. Your staff wasn't concerned about me getting bit then... right? And you know why the staff asked for my help? Because he KNOWS me. He doesn't know the staff there. He trusts ME. This is why that poor dog shook like a goddamn leaf and was trying everything he could to escape their clutches. They were either swinging him around like a ragdoll or holding him down like a live bomb. It didn't have to be like that. He's a sweet boy and when he feels safe, he'll totally comply. Maybe having a shred of compassion would've helped. As you implied, I definitely was not the "good guy" to my pet that day... I felt awful for having handed him over to humans who borderline assaulted him. We both felt powerless to do much of anything. I made a promise to protect him and I failed that day. SECOND REPLY: At no time was I "hanging on to my pet". Nothing even remotely close to that. Since whoever is responding here admits that they weren't in the exam room, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you make that allegation out of ignorance and not deceit. "Due to insurance requirements, owner's are seldom allowed to restrain their own pets." If treated with any level of compassion and kindness, my dog would not need to be restrained. You know... maybe greet him when you come in the door, rather than just burst in and immediately start yelling at me and man-handling him or let him smell your hand and give him a minute to get used to you. This is why you're so concerned about being bitten... because you're "GO-TO" is to restrain the animals immediately. You are asking to be bit. "Perhaps Dr. Sam was a bit brusque in telling you that" - See, you made a mistake here, because you admitted that he's brusque (definition: blunt in manner or speech often to the point of ungracious harshness). There are a ton of vets out there, people. Even if this is all you accepted as truth, do you want to put your animal in the hands of someone who is described as "ungraciously harsh" even by his own staff? Furthermore, your admittance of this fact adds validity to the rest of my entire review, so thank you for that. "Your abusive, unfiltered language pretty much speaks to the person you are." You'll have to forgive me, I guess that is the way I respond when I see animals being treated so horribly. Since you edited/deleted portions of your first comment and you may plan to do so again, I have screenshotted what you said here so that viewers can follow along, fully and accurately. I know that's important to both of us.
