Good Morning! I have spoken with the staff at both Fairfield and Fanwood locations, however I am…read morehoping my words manage to reach the Parkers. My dog Ben was staying at the Fairfield location when my worst nightmare as a pet parent was unraveling. I am traveling for work and am across the country, not set to return until later in the week. Outside of the heroism of the first responders, humane society and good samaritans, I cannot say enough about K9 resort's personnel as well as policy/procedures in place. Friends and family always inquire why I opt to pay to board Ben while I travel. This incident answered that inquiry in and of itself. Your emergency plan went into effect and was implemented with the outcome we all desire for live saving events. So not only do I know my Ben will be happy,loved and well cared for while staying at the facility, he will be rescued should an emergency erupt, which in this scenario seemed to be unpredictable and to no fault of anyone. After hearing that my Ben was ok and survived, the care did not stop there. Being a panic stricken fur mom from thousands of miles away, the staff could not have been more understanding and patient with my calls, questions and emails. They were so kind and reassuring with the ability to answer every single question I had while tears in my eyes on the other end of the phone trying to keep my composure. I applaud you as the leaders of this corporation for instilling this professionalism and compassion down your hierarchy. I sent pastries to the Fairfield PD, as well as the Fanwood location and made a donation to Fairfield Fire. Please reach out to me if I can do anything from here forward to honor the K9 personnel from that night and who continue to treat my boy, as well as me, as if they know how much my dog means to me. Also should there be any recognition in time for the first responders, I would love to to be able to attend. As well as the reopening for Fairfield. I thank you again for your commitment to our lovely fur family members and for allowing me more time in life to love my boy Ben. With Gratitude,

We (as in my husband and I) eventually found our 8.5lb dog after he was loose for around 24 hours (in 95 degree heat). Oriana and her team didn't seem to be doing much to search for him once we got there and it was clear they were watching way too many dogs at the location. I do not recommend Happy Dog Paws.

I called Oriana and she came and picked them up for a couple of days. Alway dependable. Highly recommend.

We especially love getting personal photos sent to us during or after his walk (Allie could seriously be a professional dog photographer).

Since we've trusted K9 Nanni for daycare with our older dog for years, it was an easy decision to turn to them for training. Ashley, their head trainer, was incredible--she kept us informed with daily updates, photos, and videos, and met with us weekly to review Nora's progress and teach us how to continue her training at home. Nora came back still the sweet, loving puppy we adore, but now she's confident, calm, well-socialized, and an amazing listener. The entire team genuinely cares about the dogs, and it shows. We highly recommend K9 Nanni for both training and daycare--our dogs get excited the moment they realize they're going!

They are friendly, affordable, and professional. I was actually surprised at how quickly they were able to do my dog Zero's vaccines, wellness check, and routine bloodwork.

It was easy to book an appointment , staff was responsive to my questions, and the facility was clean. Highly recommend!

I have previously extolled the praises of Essex Animal Hospital for their outstanding care and…read morewonderful staff. I am about to do the same again. Dr. Dolin nd his team at Essex have been treating our pets for over four years. When it was time for us to get pet visas so that we could take them to France, we relied on them to help us. We were in great hands! We discussed what we wanted to do with Dr. Dolin several months in advance. He explained what the process was: vaccination requirements, the importance of properly timing them, the paperwork involved, how to best to prepare them for the trip and what to do during the trip to keep them comfortable. The office scheduled the vaccination and follow up appointments for us for all 4 pets. Once our pets had all of their vaccinations, Dr. Dolin filled out all of the paperwork and told us how we should post the applications to Albany. Everything went swimmingly. If you need passports, it is really important to work with a vet who is familiar with the process. Essex are pros at this!
