I contacted several crematory places here in Oahu, in hopes that they could do a memorable clay foot print for our bird, and out of all the places that replied, only Oahu Pet Crematory said they had this service available. This meant so much to us especially when I know things such as clay prints are more normalized for pet dogs / cats, so I am beyond grateful that Oahu Pet Crematory provided this service for our little one. Unfortunately our other bird we lost before this, we weren't even given the option for a clay print (as we went through the vet), so I regret not contacting Oahu Pet Crematory directly before , as we could've had our other baby's too. The workers at Oahu Pet Crematory were so kind. They asked us questions about our baby to learn about him, and it really made us feel understood and cared for. The day after dropping him off, he was ready to be picked up. So it was really great to know we could bring our baby back home instantly. Thank you so much Oahu Pet Crematory for helping us, we really appreciated all of your help.

I'd like to personally thank the team at Oahu Pet Crematory. We knew that our childhood dog was ready to leave earth soon and they have been SO SUPPORTIVE from the beginning and especially all the way through the end. They were originally coordinating with our vet and answered all the questions that we had through them. Our initial appointment was for August 9th, but our sweet boy passed on August 1st in the middle of the night. I called as soon as they opened at 7 AM, got a drop off appointment for 10 AM, and he was ready for pick up by 12:30 PM. All of the staff was so kind and made the process go so smoothly for us. Their pricing was also WAY better than any of the other options we saw through other companies on the island. Also adding on, they sent over the directions to get to them and it was easy to read and led us exactly where we needed to go.

Donna was willing to personally share some tips with me which I really appreciated. I have a 2 1/2 year-old Australian Shepherd, which has never been to a groomer. I bath her and brush her and trim her the best I can, but I've never taken her to a professional groomer. My husband and I decided to give Donna a try. I was fortunate enough to get a really quick appointment to have our dog groomed. I was not disappointed. Donna spent 15 minutes with me just getting to know our dog, chatting with me about what I was looking for in the grooming process and really made me feel very comfortable and confident that she was going to have a good experience with our Australian Shepherd. When we picked up our dog, she looked amazing. Donna gave us some tips about how to bathe and brush her and shared other grooming tips. This first experience was so great that we have already made her next appointment. I would recommend Donna and Kailua Pets to anyone who is looking for a great groomer who really gets to know your dog and takes pride in the service she provides. I think her calm demeanor helps to make this experience for owners and for their beloved pets a great one. Thank you so much, Donna.

She never once tried to rush the dogs though I could see her schedule was back to back. Thank you Donna and the Staff at Kailua Vets for a great experience for Simba! We will definitely be back!

Hi can't say enough good things about the Cozy Cat Lodge!!…read more After a horrible experience with The Cat's Meow Inn, in downtown Kailua, which basically left us in the lurch, and the wife traumatized, and now with a 24 hour clock ticking down on a flight out of the country, we called Cozy Cat Lodge. I wish we would have just skipped the whole Cat's Meow Inn months-of-waiting-only-to-be-dropped ordeal, and just called Jan first. Live and learn. Jan is the very gracious and kind proprietor of the Cozy Cat Lodge, Kailua. Within minutes of The Cat's Meow dumping us on short notice, Jan had put our minds at ease. With basic vet admin details already attended to we were able to drop our kitty off the next morning and make our flight. Cozy Cat Lodge is open and airy, with comfortable, individual enclosures within a secure, screened, well-protected area. At the foot of the Pali, in a quiet, nice neighborhood, it's open to fresh breezes and the sounds of birds. Jan is easy to talk to, professional, on top of the details, very kind, knowledgeable and is as much in love with cats as we are with ours. I didn't worry about our cat or her care even one time, even on this last extended visit out of the country. And I'm a very nervous cat-parent. I'm a loyal customer!!

Big Mahalo to Quijana B. for recommending the Cozy Cat Lodge!…read more I'm in the process of moving out of my "no pets allowed" apartment building into a place that is pet friendly and needed to find a cat hotel while the landlord showed the apartment to new tenants. I contacted Cat Lodge owner, Jan, by email and she was prompt to call me the next day. Before dropping off my cat, she arranged a time for me to stop by and check out where he'd be staying. The Cozy Cat Lodge, on a quiet street in Kailua, is on Jan's lanai (sheltered and protected from the elements) so the cat guests have fresh air and can bird watch. Cats have spacious 'suites' with cute names; my kitty is staying in the 'Blueberry Suite' and he's got both a garden and pool view. The suites and areas for the cats are well taken care of, there are no disturbing smells and their litter boxes and eating spaces are clean. She had a number of cat guests when I visited and they all looked at ease with their temporary home. If you're boarding more than one cat, Jan places them in a bigger suite. The suites give them ample room for rest and play. During the day, Jan lets the cats into the playroom individually (or together if they're from the same family). The playroom has cat condos and chairs for playing or lounging. Jan inquires about feeding instructions (you supply your own food) and she gives the cats treats at bed time. And, she's not setup for visits, but she let me come by to check on my cat since he's on an extended vacation (15 days) and I miss him dearly. I was stressed out about leaving my beloved cat in the hands of a stranger but after my pre-visit, drop-off and visit during his stay, I'm confident I've left my baby with the right boarding company. Check out the Cozy Cat Lodge website for rates, boarding contract, etc.

hot and new on Oahu!…read more Now theres a company that has a treadmill for your dogs! i've done underwater treadmills before with my other dog Nala, but this idea on land is neat too. It might be good for rehab sessions or even if you needed your dog to release their crazy energy. They were at a event in Kapolei this past weekend so we were lucky to try this out. I thought the baby would have been the best at it since he usually has a lot of energy, but i think he was confused and scared, but they did a great job with him tho! They were all very friendly and had great customer service. I also like that they're mobile so you don't have to go to them which saves you a lot of time. I used to drive out to mililani from town and it takes about 45 mins each way, so every little thing is helpful! Not sure if pet insurance covers this type of thing tho! but i see it could be helpful with PT.

When my family came back to Kailua from Okinawa with a new dog this office wasn't open. Yesterday my dog was not acting like himself. His normal vet could not get him in. So I decided to call around and noticed Kailua Pet Hospital was opened and decided to call. The gentleman at the front got me in within an hour. Dr. Thornburg was amazing and my dog felt comfortable with everyone in the office. Everything was explained to me throughly. It was determined that my dog most likely injured his neck so he was given the meds he needed to help with recovery. Today I can tell he's feeling much better. Hopefully with a couple weeks of rest he'll be back to his rambunctious self! Thank you Kailua Pet Hospital! So happy to have you back. Bonus...They give a military discount
