We did not have a good experience boarding our dog at Puppy Paradise. First, it was very difficult…read moreto get in touch with them by phone to even book his stay. That should have been a red flag. Before dropping him off, our vet prescribed medication for a skin infection and we provided clear instructions for them to administer it. Unfortunately, they failed to do so. When we took our dog back to the vet after his stay, she confirmed that he had not received the medication, which meant he suffered unnecessarily while in their care. They also told us we'd be able to see pictures of him playing on their Facebook page during his stay. However, we only saw one photo of him, while other dogs were posted frequently. When we picked him up, we were shocked to find the bill was $185 more than we were told to expect. One of the extra charges was for a bath, which we had explicitly declined at check-in. Overall, we cannot recommend Puppy Paradise based on our experience. For the health and comfort of your pet--and your own peace of mind--we suggest looking elsewhere.

Dex can become anxious & have separation issues. We were greeted by smiles & reassurance. We were allowed to spend time with him during the day taking him on walks. On his return, he was greeted by staff & he was happy to return. I would add that they have an excellent groomer as well. Having a veterinarian next door was reassuring as well. I would highly recommend Puppy Paradise in Saint Simons & no hesitation to drop Dex off on our next visit to the island.

My dog has a spinal condition and had to have major back surgery after he became paralyzed.

Danielle has been so great in accommodating his special needs and does a wonderful job grooming both of my dogs. I am so thankful that we found her!

THESE PEOPLE ARE INCOMPETENT AND INHUMANE. Incompetent.. The first time I took my dog to them for throwing up after eating. They gave me drugs for him. After talking to a trainer, she said all I had to do was elevate his bowl. I did this and he stopped throwing up.. I guess they wouldn't have gotten as much money out of me if they hadn't sold me the drugs.. Inhumane.. after the dog bite incident I took him to be euthanized.. the vet gave him a shot and we watched him writhe on the floor in pain for twenty minutes while the vet and his assistant left the room.. finally they came back and put him down.. I've had two other dogs euthanized at other vets on the island.. NONE OF THEM LEFT THE DOG IN AGONY FOR TWENTY MINUTES!.. On top of that they got involved in the dog bite lawsuit.. instead of just saying they treated my dog.. they had to go into a lengthy comment about how they thought the dog was aggressive.. and it cost me the lawsuit.. they had no business getting involved with that.. after reading some of these other reviews, I think this place shouldn't be in business..

Everyone at Seaside was so friendly, kind, and caring! We will definitely return if needed while…read moreon vacation. We had to visit twice within the week between Christmas and New Year's for two separate issues. Reception was always helpful trying to squeeze us in despite limited holiday hours. They genuinely wanted to listen to the issue and help us figure out what was best. First visit was 12/26 after our dog somehow wacked his tail on a ceramic tile floor while sleeping/dreaming at 3:30am Christmas Day. (You can't make this stuff up) This caused yelping, extreme pain for him, and a personality change, which is a sign of distress. They graciously got us in as soon as they reopened. They laid out options for diagnostics and treatment and were very transparent about price (which was very reasonable compared to our vet at home). The vet was amenable to what we decided and supportive of how to best care for our dog given his temperament. The second visit involved an emergency. I was surprised they were open on 12/30 when I called in the evening. Reception assured me Seaside is equipped to do imaging and surgery if needed, which was so helpful to know! Unfortunately they didn't have any openings left that evening. Our dog was having bloody stool which was very concerning and possibly life threatening (if due to a blockage) so we had to get him down to Robinson ER vet in Fernandina. However, after Robinson recommended an overnight which we declined, we did grab a morning appointment with Seaside to make sure we were covered to make the 800mi trip home with our dog stable enough to do it. Yet again, Seaside was super helpful. Robinson had given us antibiotics citing bacteria from sea water was the cause of the bloody stool (after four blood panels and imaging), but they said if our dog wasn't significantly improved by the next day we should head back down and overnight him. This may be protocol, but recovery from bacteria/parasites with antibiotics always takes a few days, so it felt alarmist and avaricious. Seaside was far more human toward us, giving helpful details about the nature of what was going on physically, advising on how to get food down to help our dog's gut realign, and showing us the respect that any caring pet parent deserves when they show up to get the right care for their furry family members. Seaside put my mind at ease and helped us feel that the ride home would be okay, as would our pup as long as we powered through with support and meds schedule. They gave us Cerenia tabs which are cheaper than the injection Seaside had insisted on giving, and really looked out for us for our journey ahead which was not at all a concern to Robinson (who just wanted to scare us into returning the next day). Seaside's rational education on what was biologically needed for our dog, and calm approach to how we could get him through this was absolutely what we needed. I regretted spending money with Robinson instead of Seaside, but it was necessary given the possibility of a blockage and Seaside's lack of openings the night before. That said, we're so grateful they could fill in all the blanks Robinson couldn't and send us home feeling calm and positive. Our dog progressed to 100% within 24h of his Seaside visit and is completely back to himself! I cannot say enough about how caring, explanatory, thoughtful and kind Seaside was. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone, and their prices were very reasonable, with vets who are fair, considerate and looking out for you and your furry family.
