GIAN IS The BEST TRAINER EVER!…read more He changed our lives for the better forever. I rescued Moo in Nov of 2020 and she was a mess, She was abused, on the run, didnt trust humans and could barely relax enough to sleep. I was reccomended Gian through a friend and he was an answer from god! She went to him for 2 weeks and DIDNT WANT TO COME HOME to me- she loved him and was so happy to make him proud. He brought her back to me and trained me on how to care for my new dog. I would recommend him again and again and many of my friends have also sent their animals to him. This is your guy if you need a trainer!!!

My other 2 dogs (terriers) were allowed to stay and had a blast playing for a few days while I moved house. Absolutely Recommend!

The reason I sought another facility for my pups is that after 15 years with another in town, my dogs appeared desperate to see me upon my return- not just happy, but unusually eager to leave. Because of this, I was very conscious of their demeanor when I picked them up from Red Fern and was pleased when I saw that while they were very happy to see me, they would have been just as happy to stay another day. That told me all I needed to know about Red Fern! This paired with the daily pictures of my babies having a ball, the report card shining light on their best qualities and my own positive experience with all of the staff made it clear that Red Fern is my pups' new home away from home when I am called out of town. If you are considering a boarding, grooming or training facility in Marion County, look no further than Red Fern Pet Lodge!

She is a high energy puppy, so this helps her burn off some of that energy. She comes home and sleeps good at night. I receive a report card and photos of her from Enrichment Day Care, which I just love. The team there knew Athena the moment we walked through the door after her first stay. While dropping her off, we witnessed many other dogs being dropped off, all just as happy and excited to be there as Athena. That says a lot about the place when the dogs are happy to be there. It's the best thing we could ever do to help Athena socialize and gain the confidence she needs to grow into a well rounded dog.

I had an amazing experience boarding my dogs, Whitney and Starr, at Pet Paradise! From the moment I…read morewalked in, I could tell the dogs were having a great time. Seeing them happily playing and entertaining themselves in the pool immediately put my mind at ease. The staff was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional throughout the entire stay. I also loved how conveniently located the facility is near my home, and the pricing was very reasonable for the quality of care provided. As an added bonus, they offer grooming and other services, making it a one-stop destination for pet care. One of my favorite touches was receiving a report card with photos of my precious fur babies looking happy, relaxed, and content while I was away. It was wonderful to see how well they were being cared for. I highly recommend Pet Paradise to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and caring place to board their pets. Whitney and Starr will definitely be back, and I will absolutely be booking with Pet Paradise again!

Several vets we called said don't come here we are busy, even my friend's established vet refuses to help. Called Paddock and told Dr. Chelsey was going to lunch but would wait for us. I rush this poor 3 lbs yorkie over that's suffering, to be met by the sweetest vet and gentle. This wasn't our dog but we all shed a tear for this angel who couldn't be saved. The doctor was waiting for us basically at the door. I won't use anyone else now because of how she treated us that day. To make time for this poor little dog in an emergency, when no other vet would, speaks volumes to me. Thank you Dr. Chelsey!!!!
