I've been taking my Black Lab, Pan, here for a few months now for daycare and also the occasional…read moreovernight boarding. The staff is all excellent, and very helpful when it comes to anything pet related, from food, to toys to bathing. Pan can't wait to get in and see them, and his other canine friends, when we drop him off. They expect you to take your dog in for a trial visit for a few hours before the first time you board him/her, in order to ensure your dog won't be too anxious when you leave him/her there. There are numerous upgrades that you can get for your pet while they're being boarded, including extra walks, treats and kuranda beds. Markwin also offers obedience training (indoor during the winter and outdoor in the summer) which the owner, Mark, leads. The classes are very small (seems to be a max of 8 dogs), so you get a lot of individual attention. The training is praise-based, as opposed to treat-based, which is vital for a dog like a Lab, which are prone to weight problems. Mark's training has worked wonders for Pan, and has taught us, as owners, a lot as well.

I can't say enough about how great this place is. Every time I show up, Puck can barely contain his excitement. The staff is extremely friendly and acomodating and take the time to get to know each and every dog in their care. The dogs spend the majority of their day playing in the dog park they have out back, and only minimal time, specifically during feedings, in kennels. This place is extremely reasonably priced.

I'm disappointed to say that my experience at Paradise Animal Hospital (PAH) was extremely…read moreunprofessional. About a week after I brought my puppy to PAH for her first needle, she started vomiting. The bill for her treatment came to about $3700, and I was told that it may have been a stomach bug or possibly worms. Receiving an unexpected bill that size was daunting to say the least. When I asked for an itemized list of what was required I found flaws in the billing. For example, I was charged $200 in medication instead of the $19 that was actually needed. After speaking with my friends who also take their dogs to PAH about my bill, they asked if the clinic offered me the free month of pet insurance that they offer every customer of their clinic. They had not. When I called to ask why I wasn't offered pet insurance, I was told that it was a very unfortunate situation, and that Covid had made it hard to offer all customers the same standard of care. They told me the best they could do for me was to offer an apology. Pet insurance would have covered a substantial portion of my fees, and I found it hard to accept that Covid was interfering since they had time to shoot and post TikTok/Instagram videos of my dog (which they've since removed from their pages), but not offer the standard care that all other customers receive. After several emails back and forth, PAH offered to refund $1000 of my $3700 bill. After this, I stuck with PAH because I felt that my puppy received quality care from the vets who delivered her treatment during her emergency visit despite the poor communication and huge expenses. Changing clinics would be challenging given the backlog of patients caused by the pandemic at that time. However, I ran into more issues when I booked my puppy's appointment for a spay. When I first called, she was scheduled right away for her surgery. It was only after speaking to my friends who have puppies from the same litter and also go to PAH, that I learned they were all given appointments for blood work prior to their surgery and given information on fasting. After hearing this I called the clinic to ask about a bloodwork appointment and they insisted she didn't need an appointment. This didn't make sense to me given that the other puppies in her litter had also seen the vet a couple months earlier. I called back again. After three calls they realized they had indeed made a mistake and that my puppy did in fact need blood work prior to her operation. Had I not repeatedly inquired, I'm not sure if they would have gone ahead with the surgery or not. I have never written a review for a business before let alone a negative one, however after this experience I felt it was important to share what I went through. The fact that bolstering their social media presence was more of a priority than my dog's health is beyond concerning. To have it shrugged off, excused, and given a half hearted apology was insulting. A customer should not have to rely on friends and internet research to learn what the proper medical procedures are for their pet.

This is just another rip off. I have a 17 year old dog, who is in great general health, other than…read moredental problems. After paying $300 for a check-up, this clinic recommended that all this dog's teeth be removed. This is a major surgery for a very senior dog probably in the last stages of her natural life, and I declined as I considered it as inflicting unnecessary suffering on my beloved old girl. I requested antibiotics and a pain killer for her. After a mere few days, she seemed her old self again. She thrived and certainly wasn't in pain. Then her prescription ran out. Back to the vet, another $300 spent, and good for another month. The vet refuses to offer refills on the prescription as they simply want to continue to rip us off- no concern whatsoever for this pets suffering. The attitude is 'you shouldn't have a pet' if you can't pay, which is extortion. They would willingly subject a senior dog to unnecessary surgery to get their $2 grand, all the while knowing it will probably kill her, or cause her last year to be one of extreme discomfort. This vet has not the slightest inkling of empathy or compassion for the pet and certainly none for a pet owner. Treat your clients fairly and they may come back. Learn good business practice. PS, Paradise Animal Hospital has poorly trained staff and vets as well, performed a botched kidney stone surgery on my Shih Tzu causing circulation problem and 3 additional surgeries. (His Penis had to be amputated) I took him to Bay Roberts Animal hospital where they saved his life. These scum charged us 4 thousand to nearly kill our beautiful dog. I forgive accidents, but I do not forgive overcharging and incompetence. Take your critter to Bay Roberts for the best possible care in Newfoundland that I know of...just my and my wife's opinion ...I know of no other place that is trustworthy. Please message and correct me if I am wrong.
