Eventually, they said the great Dane mix would not be a fit. Before that happened we purchased three day trips for each dog & we never got around to using them because since they couldn't board all three dogs, we found another kennel... (Check out wagon train in Irmo... Great place! ) Anyway, I contacted them recently to see if they could take the two dogs for an overnight and utilize the money we spent in good faith. We were never informed that there was an expiration date to using the doggy daycare.. They said the dogs would have to go through a whole other orientation and that they would NOT honor the money we spent on the daycare packages we purchased since it was over a year. Frankly I was shocked at their response. What the hell? What kind of customer service is this? What kind of company would not honor money that was spent in good faith for THEIR programs... Sure, I understand the need to reevaluate the dog since it's been a year, but not honor the money we spent? We will never do business with these guys again.

The owners are passionate about the grooming boarding business and take every precaution when it comes to caring for your furry friend. The owners have stayed late so that I could drop off my Achilles after hours. They have cameras installed and monitored so my Achilles was safe the whole visit. When I came to pick him up, I got a full debrief on his new friends and social interactions! I can't wait to board with them again! BTW Military discount!

I made this reservation without first reading the reviews. I saw the previous yelp reviews and called to inquire and spoke with the owner. The owner stated that he took over the business about 7 months ago, and that a lot has changed in the business since he has taken over. I am going to give this place a chance, and will update my review once I pick my dog up. Overall customer service so far, 5 stars. This include time of booking and the follow up phone call to ask about the previous reviews. They also have add on services such as nail trim, baths, etc. hopefully this helps ***UPDATED REVIEW*** As promised, my updated review after picking my dog up. Pickup went well. They were organized and were already expecting me to come in and had all of Monkey's accessories on a table with a tag ready to go. Checkout was fast and easy. Monkey was groomed really nicely, nails trimmed, and was very happy to see me. Will be using them again.

Excellent service, kind and knowledgeable staff. I was very anxious about raising this puppy on my own but every time I visit Griffin I feel reassured and confident. I had Harry neutered elsewhere, but when I saw him trying to lick his stitches I called Griffin and Dr. Callaghan and company saw me right away - provides a cone and medication at low cost, and checked Harry out to make sure he was OK. I have used their boarding services which were quite cheap ($13 fir the day) and Harry always enjoys being there. Dr. Callaghan is wonderful and enthusiastic and helpful - I wouldn't have anyone else take care of Harry. Same with the staff! Their faculties are clean and modern, very pleasant, and there are kindly resident dogs whom Harry is friends with. Would most definitely recommend, if you want a high quality, responsive, personal, and affordable vet!

To be clear I left Griffin Animal Hospital over a year ago and could not be happier to have done…read moreso. I am writing this review now because I went to my new vet(Cat Clinic) the other day and had a wonderful, easy, affordable experience, and it made me write this review. First issue is the never ending "required tests" stool tests, bloodwork, and other things. They make you do them or at least made me every single time I came in regardless of the issue. This of course ran the bill up every single time to around $600-$700 dollars. Second issue was Dr. Griffins attitude. She couldn't be more abrasive if she tried and I always tried to be nice but I always got the feeling she seemed to feel like she was wasting her time talking to me. She was condescending and definitely didn't respect or care about my time. The final straw was when she said she tried to have me bring in another stool sample only two weeks after a prior visit just to get anxiety meds. It's literally 30% a scam to earn extra money. Lastly for example the Cat Clinic for a yearly check up was only $250 with two vaccines, Flea Meds for 2 cats, and anxiety meds. Which is the primary reason for writing this as I do feel I have been overcharged by Griffin for years. The Cat Clinic has never asked for a stool sample and they ask if I'd like to bloodwork which they don't recommend unless there's a concern. Goodluck with Griffin Animal Hospital if you don't believe me.
