She comes home happily exhausted. Berkshire Dogs Unleashed has been fantastic integrating dogs, of any age, size, and breed for socialization. Lea has also had grooming and regular nail trimming. She has been here since week 1 and her training with them was above and beyond expectation. They were also very proactive when kennel cough ran rapid twice last year and were able to prevent dogs from being affected. The staff that the Kohlenbergers hire treat the dogs (and their people) like family. Courteous and respectful. BDU had also made incredible strides for their community. They supported and held a fundraiser for a young, sick boy from Pittsfield who had to spend months in Boston....(#Carterstrong) At Christmas, they sponsor a giving tree for kids in need. No tag was left behind. Every child cared for. They have held a wonderful canine carnival fundraiser for BASK (Balance and Service K9s). Story book donations to Williams School. They even sent me a get well token after I had emergency surgery in February. More recently, (Berkshire Poodles with the Kohlenberger family) has donated several comfort dogs (18 to date) into all of Berkshire County. I can tell by this expression how much she enjoys the facility and the staff. In their constant photo shares, daily, you can see she's playing and engaging with others. See for yourself. They are more than happy to show you around. We trust them with a member of our family.

They don't like to undo any tangled dog hair, preferring to shave everything off. When I took issue…read morewith this, the assistant implied I was "inhumane". There are ways to get rid of tangles without hurting the dog. Lotions, sprays, and technique - starting at the end of the tangle and working down. But they couldn't be bothered. She hardly had any knots at all and I wound up with the WORST hair cut for my poor puppy. Not only that, but I found a huge wound by her ear that had to have been caused by the clippers. Who is inhumane? Cannot recommend these lazy non-artists.

Highly recommend!

This is one of the best run, caring and compassionate businesses in the Capital District. Pet Spas…read morewas the only place that I would take my dog to for services. I took my maltese here for boarding and grooming for almost 16 years (my dog just passed). In this time the cost for a grooming only went up three dollars and some change! I was always happy with his cut and reasonable time it took for him to be groomed. Amy used to groom him, she was the best. My dog always came out with a big smile on his face. The staff are ALL beyond kind and considerate towards my dog and I. I boarded him at least once or twice a year (for 10 days) in the suites with the webcams. You must book early for these on holidays. I loved checking in on him and watching him play in the doggie day care (while I missed him on vacation). The staff are attentive to any medications and/or dietary needs, and will call you if there are any major problems while boarded. This business is so great that there is a strong following of people who keep it really busy, so plan ahead for a grooming and boarding. It will be worth it. I totally recommend Pet Spas and Suites. They are so personable and caring. This isn't run like a corporate pet store where you never see the same people again the next time you come in, the crates are half the size at the corporate chain pet store. I went once and they were rude. I had a friend whom the corp. chain didn't take notes on her dog who had a hip problem (nor did they listen to the owners) and the dog ended up getting hurt- requiring surgery- costing thousands of dollars and pain and suffering to her dog. That would never happen at Pet Spa. It will be sometime before I get another pup but I know where I'll be taking him/her when I do. I will miss the Pet Spa & Suites family until then. Thank you for all the love you gave my dog Caesar and the beautiful things you did to honor his life after he passed. They meant the world to me.

I'm very happy with K-9 & Felines, knowing Leah will always be in good hands and home quickly!

I have taught many classes at TCGS as I'm a co-founder of the Holistic Cat Groomers Alliance. Nicole impressed me with her quick grasp of the material & insightful questions. I have no doubt she would put a cat's safety & welfare first, instead of risking the life of a cat for secondary aesthetic preferences. Nicole is also an active participant in my Holistic Cat Grooming forum and her input shows her compassionate dedication to the welfare & comfort of the cats in her care, in addition to a keen understanding of the compassionate, holistic method. I would highly encourage you to entrust Nicole with the grooming of your precious cat.

I called every vet in the area and no one could see him until mid July or August! I explained the severity of the situation. One vet hospital (that will not be named) said they couldn't help unless I paid - from what I understood- $200 just to walk through the door in addition to the exam, testing and meds. They suggested I try other area vets or drive to Deerfield. I was a Mess and Chuck was in pain. Then I called Pittsfield Vet hospital. Thank you Stephanie and for suggesting standby and Dr. Joseph Devereaux for seeing and treating my little Chuckie-dog with such kindness when everyone else refused to help us.
