Had to badger them for an email of his blood test results. They are well aware my cat has not been able to eat for 5 days prior to this. Its so simple to just give the names of the prescribed medications. They gave one prescription info... but not the other. Wtf? Im just going to guess which nausea medication so he can start eating asap. These people made no attempt to calm my cat. Hes already sick. They came in and just to check his ears, yoked him up by the neck violently. He fought. They threw a towel over him. Never heard my car make sounds like this. It was borderline traumatizing to see and i left the room. I clean his ears all the time just by being nice to him. He came back from bloodwork looking more distraught than ive ever seen in my life, panting wildly, voice broken. Im really shocked and i would recommend taking your cat anywhere else. I have a friend who takes his dog here and he is happy, maybe better for dogs.

Jackie, the groomer was an extremely nice woman and so friendly, both over the phone and in person. Unfortunately their cuts were horrible, uneven and blotchy. My pomeranian who is normally fluffy with soft fur, was shaved down so short. Not at all like the picture given. He looks like a small lamb and I hope it grows back normally. My other dog is an English springer spaniel. While her cut was not as bad, it was still very uneven. Both dogs had no shine to their coats. To make matters even worse, I'm positive they were denied water the entire time. Both dogs came home and lapped up bowl after bowl after bowl of water. Plus, they were exhausted. Barely able to keep their eyes open on the ride home.

We took my Pomeranian-Yorkie mix here to be fully groomed including bath, blow dry, customized cut, and nails. We went here because their prices were so good, and they were so close to my house. When we got to the place we felt very comfortable because the lady was sooo nice, which is why I feel bad writing this review. We picked up our dog, and were traumatized. She was absolutely butchered, I wanted to cry. Her fur was limp, like she wasn't blow dried, and it looked dried out, like she took a bath in the salty ocean... and... I can't even find the words to describe the cut. It was terribly uneven, her neck was dramatically shorter than the rest of the body (which was not even close to being evenly cut), and then her head was just a mop of limp flopped over hair (& she's half Pomeraninan! With normally poofy hair). I would love to have a picture of proof, but we were so upset we didn't even take her home, we went straight to Petsmart in Stafford to see if there was anything they could do. After the sympathies for our dog and our experience at LCK, PETSMART miraculously fixed her cut, shined up her coat, and we left very happy. I do not believe LCK has a licensed groomer, because I am convinced it wouldn't be possible for her to have done that bad of a job. However, because the woman is so nice, I would think about bringing my dog back for nails and anal glands, which she did a great job on. But it will have to be in about a year once I'm over this trauma.

Well a week later and nothing. The least they could have said was "sorry we don't have anything available until whatever date.. or I'm sorry we are closed but we'll get back to you during business hours".. Very disappointed.

BEST INVESTMENT you'll choose for your Dog-Mandy is AMAZING!…read moreI have worked with my dog from the moment I brought her home at 8 weeks old. She came from a well tempered background and has had positive experiences and multiple training sessions, she was doing great on commands but needed tweaking and was missing confidence that had a fear attachment I could not change on my own. I reached out to OFF Leash/Nova and after reading lots of reviews, I thought Mandy was a perfect fit for her. I was nervous about enrolling in a board and train. The moment we met Mandy, I knew she was the perfect match! Her knowledge and demeanor on dog training and especially when it came to my breed was remarkable. We couldn't be any more happier with the results of her board and train experience!! Mandy checked in with videos, messages every night! I was so relaxed after the second day! We now have a completely different dog! She's calm, confident and so easy to walk and enjoy out and about! Don't look any further and choose Mandy! Her passion in helping dogs and training us humans to have a better life with them is impeccable! Mandy also has checked in with us multiple times even after we completed her board and train! Truly the best money you will spend on your fur baby! Thank you Mandy!!

Had a reservation for 2 week board and train with Ian Galliano while we went out of town. Within 2 minutes of meeting him meeting my dog, a 12 lbs mini aussie, Ian tried to reject her from the program because she freaked out on the choke collar. I was able to advocate for my dog and she calmed down within minutes. Ian then questioned me on her behavior in new or crowded locations, as if he was attempting to again reject her, even though that was precisely the reason we were bringing her to him. She apparently passed his test and he said he'd give it a shot for a couple days. He seemed hesitant, but my dog was heeling perfectly with him as a I pulled away. 20 minutes later he called me and told me he was rejecting her and I needed to come pick her up immediately. Apparently he put her in a kennel to transport her to another location a couple hours away (which I didn't know about in advance of dropping her off, but whatever) and then immediately tried to pull her out of the kennel when my dog backed to the rear of the kennel and got defensive. He did this all within 30 minutes of meeting her and didn't give her any time to get accustomed to him or the kennel before trying to pull her out. I returned to the location, called my very scared dog out of the kennel, and we went home. Ian told his boss that my dog wouldn't even come out of the kennel for me (untrue) and so he couldn't be expected to work with her. They offered to apply my payment ($3,000) to day training (no boarding) but to be honest, we were attracted to OLK9 because of the board and train option and there are many options in the area for training. They processed the full refund the next day. If you can get your dog into OLK9- great, but be aware they may try to reject your dog for bizarre reasons, so if you are planning the program around you being out of town, have a backup for your dog's care. Like I said, considering their reputation in the area we were shocked at the bizarre treatment. If they didn't leave us scrambling to find last minute boarding for our dog we would have laughed at the situation and Ian's behavior, but in reality they just created a stressful situation. ##

We moved our other little dog over as we were so impressed with everyone there. Prices are very reasonable, and the care comprehensive. The setting is very homey, and i think the dogs believe they are in someone's home vs a cold barren clinic. It is delightful to see how they decorate for every holiday and event. Just wonderful people. Of note we needed to put to rest our dear little boy of 17 years. The doctor and staff were so supportive and loving. The process was patient and unrushed. Cremation service items were lovely, and we will cherish the memorial items, including the card the staff sent a few days later. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

When booking the appointment I had called a few times with questions and the girls at the front were SO kind and friendly. Eager to help and really did well to make sure I had anything I needed answered and went above and beyond. In fact when I was driving to my appointment I realized I didn't have my previous vets paperwork for my pet and 15 mins prior to my appointment she was calling them herself to have them sent over without me even having to run home to get the copies or anything. Even though it was totally my fault I forgot. Then in the exam room Dr Drake was sooo good with my cat. It was a thorough exam and while she was doing it the whole time the other vet helping her was giving my cat a treat and it made it so easy on everyone involved.

I scheduled the appointment for first thing in the morning and intentionally didn't walk her so her bladder would be full. Despite this, we were kept waiting past our appointment time as the front desk staff seemed preoccupied chatting. My dog ended up peeing on the floor, and I had to leave her for a few hours to allow her bladder to fill again. While the vet was great with Penny, I felt that the front desk's communication was poor. One person confirmed my dog's health records had been received from her previous doctor, but when I arrived, I was told her immunization records were missing. I was also told she would look into this and follow up with me via phone, but I received no call. I have no idea where that netted out. Overall, I think my dog had a good visit and there is plenty of parking in this shopping center.

This other dog turned around and latched on to my dog Cindy, inflicting bodily harm on Cindy that required them to take her to an emergency room for treatment. After being sedated, Cindy required stitches to her left ear, her throat, chest and insertion of a pen rose drain to the left side of neck. Various bites located on top of her head and body were flushed with an antiseptic solution to prevent infection. Cindy required a second visit to urgent care due to copious drainage from the pen rose drain, incurring additional costs.
