Wish there were 10 stars I'd award every one. Hate to sound cliche' but I can't speak highly enough…read moreabout this facility. I have been with Dr.s Bob Alyssa and staff since they opened the doors. It's been many years. As a breeder of Dobermans then Miniature Schnauzers we have indeed run the gambit. Both my animals and myself have been treated with kindness dignity and respect from birth to death and all that goes in between. The facility is immaculate at all times. Many years ago it was remodeled. It's bright light open and airy. As clean now as when the renovations were completed. When you use this facility the more time passes by the more you will note that the staff remains consistent. Many of them have been there as long as I have and I consider myself a charter member. As the years have gone by and the clinic expanded new vets have been brought in house. When you call for an appointment you will be asked if you have a preference for which vet you'd like. My response has always been if the good Dr.s trust enough to hire I certainly trust enough to use their services. I feel strongly about this. And trust I do. Implicitly. Another asset to using this clinic is there is someone available 24/7 365. I can't tell you of what value this is to me. No running off to strangers and the unknown. Another critical asset in my view is this is a hospital NOT a boarding kennel. There is a time and place for all things. I will concede that the clinic may be a tad pricier than recovery but the outstanding impeccable in all arenas one could hope for in an animal hospital far outweigh the slight difference. This has been a long review but I wanted to illustrate my thoughts in full that I might assist others that take the research seeking and time to provide for the care of their animals large and small seriously a solid defined venue to accomplish just that. Dr.s Bob and Alyssa staff too thank you so much for all you are and have been. Truly a treasure. bryanne Ineson Calderstone

Been taken over by one of those big conglomerate that buys up veterinarians…read more I am convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that their lack of hygiene caused my cats to contract feline herpes. They said it wasn't possible, but they never sneezed or had any runny eyes before the visit to them. Four days after I took my male cat he had a terrible attack of this feline herpes which he never had in his 2 1/2 years of life. Four days after that my female started having the same symptoms, and she had not gone on that visit to the vet - must've contracted it from the male. They tried to tell me they always had had it. I disagreed. And then they lied on the records, so when I went to a new vet with their records, I found they had missreported a vital fact. They said that I told them early on that they had feline herpes which I absolutely did not do! I was shocked by that. Well of course I can't prove it, but all the evidence added up to the fact that they contracted it at the vet. That was bad enough, but then changing the records to say that I had told them about it was beyond unforgivable and we took our all our animals away from their practice.

She now makes house calls (yippee), saving the usual high-stress drive and visit to the vets for routine care/grooming.

You can email her (monicatidrick@comcast.net) for a comprehensive list of services and fees. I've found her professional and confident manner when dealing with my ornery cat a real plus--just what the doctor ordered!

These guys used to be amazing. They took the time to slowly introduce my Newfie to the tools and to…read morethe business to make it a positive experience. It made a huge difference and I had the greatest respect for Jess. Unfortunately, the last time I brought my Newfoundland the owner, Mary, massively shamed me. My dog went through surgery when he was two, that they were well aware of since they were taking care of him before and after. The surgery was a success, but my Newfie suffers from the shakes when he gets nervous or does something he doesn't like. We bring him to the vet yearly and they monitor his hips and have said he's fine, but he has anxiety when he's brushed by his back legs. Jess is well aware that the shakes are simply his way to con people into not doing what he doesn't want to, he's a master manipulator. We did recently bring him to a new vet and we were going to try anxiety meds for him at his next visit. The last time we brought him we did explain that he had a couple of mats and to over charge us if they had a more difficult time grooming him. When I called later to pick him up no one answered, I tried several times. I was a little concerned as it was after 4 and they didn't typically take that long. So I drove there and they were just finishing. Mary came out hot, shaming me for his mats and for how bad he shakes and made me feel just awful. She is well aware the shakes are neurological and she made me feel like a horrible dog owner yelling about how bad he shakes. She yelled that I need to start bringing him in every 6 weeks or more, which I simple cannot afford at over $120 a visit. I still gave her a generous tip and cried on the way home. We try to bring him in 4 times a year, especially in the spring for a deeper trim before he starts swimming. Even though I was ashamed and embarrassed I trusted these guys with my Dexter so I called in May to make an appointment and left a message. I tried again a few weeks later, left a message. Again I tried and left a message with her husband to call back, no response. My husband tried to call and the lovely Jess answered, but she had to check with Mary on a time, no call back. I left another message a day later asking if they were stopping us as clients and to please let us know as it's been two months of me trying to make an appointment and Dexter is in desperate need at this point, no forking call back. At this point I'm so incredibly disappointed with this company. 6 years Dexter went to them and with his trust issues it's going to be very difficult to find another groomer, let alone someone that can support his giant weight. I just thought after years of dedication they would at least have the decency to let us no they no longer wish to see our dog so we could have made arrangements sooner for another visit. I was stupidly loyal even after Mary treated me so poorly. The crazy things is, Jess stated multiple times in the past that we do the best with our Newfie to keep him groomed between appointments, better than the other owners so this last appointment and the vigorous shaming by Mary was completely unexpected. Wish Jess the best, but I have zero respect for the owner Mary. You don't do this to loyal customers.

Our furbaby, Oni, has been going to A Precious Pet Resort (APPR) since he was 9 1/2 weeks old. Our…read morepup is a cautious boy and was unsure of the staff at first, but we introduced him to Mary and her team a few times prior to dropping him off for 5-days a week doggie daycare. Our pup is now 5 1/2 years old and LOVES going to APPR. Although we now live 30 minutes away, we still take him to APPR whenever we need someone to care for him if we are going to be away for a few hours or a week. We attempted a different place when I changed jobs a few years ago to save on my commute for daycare drop off, but our pup did not adjust to this new place well. He was scared and did not respond well to the pet caregivers. We were told he hid in a corner most of the days and didn't play with the other dogs and was scared whenever a group of dogs approached him. The new place operated under a "dog park" mentality and all the dogs were grouped together during the day-our pup was telling them and us he didn't like that style. The new place had all the bells and whistles of fancy live feed cameras, indoor playground and outdoor playground, but our dog didn't care about that and didn't care to remain at the new place. Our dog responds very well to positive reinforcement, how he is being treated and how he is being taken care of and our pup is happiest when in small groups or 1:1 playtime. APPR offers this type of service for him. APPR is a family-owned business so they do not have all the bells and whistles like some other surrounding or larger places within a 20-30 mile radius, but they care for, individualized care, and are attentive to the pets they service. When our pup is boarded, we provide plenty of treats, food and toppers along with his blanket and dog bed to provide a more 'comfort of home' feel for him. We know how much he eats and what he likes and APPR honors our feeding plan and gives the measurements, food, toppers and treats that we request. We have a wonderful relationship and 2-way communication with APPR. If we request grooming and/or bathing as a part of his stay, we ask for this at a minimal extra charge. Oni has experienced both daily daycare and boarding services and he and we are happy with their service. When my husband and I travel, we know that our pup is in good hands with Mary and her team. Thank you all for taking such good care of our furbaby. My husband and I do and continue to recommend A Precious Pet Resort for daycare or boarding. A picture of his first day at APPR!

I recently moved to Maine and contacted Kara's Petcare on the recommendation of my vet. I was so…read moreexcited because it seemed like they would be able to offer daycare for my dogs and some auxiliary training if needed. They also said they did transport to the daycare facility and boarding on occasion. It seemed perfect. I should mention that there are Kara's pet care facilities in Portsmouth, Berwick, and Falmouth. First I was asked to set up a meet and greet with one of their associates at my home so she could meet my pets. It took me many tries to get through many unreturned phone calls, but finally we did set up the meet and greet and that went well. Then I was asked to set up an app and an account before we could actually schedule any dog care. So I set up the app and the account. Then I was asked to drive my dogs to their facility to see if the dogs would "be happy there." So I drove my dogs 25 minutes to the facility. When I got to the facility I was told that they were supposed to stay there for a day assessment and then I should come and pick them up. This was not communicated to me earlier, and I had not budgeted an extra hour of driving back-and-forth. Then they would reschedule the assessment and they would come and pick up my dogs for the day-long assessment. All before any dog care could be scheduled. So, still not on the calendar. So to summarize: you need to go through a long process of scheduling a meet and greet, then you need to have the meet and greet, then you need to sign up for the app, then your dogs have to be assessed to see if they will be happy. I'm just thinking that anyone who's busy enough to need dog care is too busy for this multilayered, multi-step, poorly communicated process where phone calls, texts, and emails are returned only about half the time.
