    Salvatore wymbs

    First I will say I had 1:30 pm grooming appointment, but realized I need to chk to see if anyone canceled the day of , due to a conflict in timing, so I called that morning early, I got a call back stating they could move Salvatore apt up to 11:30am remind you it's 11am when the call came thru, I stated Sure I can but it's gonna take me at least 30 mins to arrive, I told her I could leave in about 10 min, ,I also said if I'm a few mins behinds schedule will it be ok, remind you they done this to me once before an I had to restructure my already set plans because I now have to take Salvatore back home, she replied get here as soon as you can , I replied ok leaving in a few mins, as I get near the store I see I'm already 6 min past 11:30am so I call , I said mam I just at the light by the lowes home imp store, I said I'm just let I g you know that I be there in a 2/3mim soon as this light change, she tell me I'm sorry we're not goin to be able to take him now , I gave you 30 min , I said mam, I told it i live 25mins away frm ur location, I explained that to you when you called me, she said sir I'm sorry your to late, so I go any way since I'm now in the parking lot, I go in she tells me the same thing again , I got very pissed off because no , they have given his 1:30 original apt away, so not only do I have to reschedule ,I know have to drive 30 min back to my house be cause my dog can't go to my dentist apt with me, so things got a lil out of hand when I spoke my mind, that was very wrong on their part , an they thinking I'm over reacting, I let it slide the first time 3 mo later same thing this time I spoke up and my dog Salvatore and I got bared frm that location, and as you see I shop there a lot all it's clothing food grooming was all at that store location ,sad been a loyal customer at that location since picked him up at 2 mo old I will say this , I can't speak for all pet smart location, but the Athens Oconee connector Athens store , the mgr an grooming mgr are racist an very rude to other nationality especially blacks an the minute you stand your ground ,you and your pet are instantly bared frm the location for life, I still use per smart but instead of driving 25 min to the Athens location I now have to drive frm Colbert ga, , even if the issue is on they're end, they will make it be your own credit that got you bared when all along it's them creating issues, sad an unfairIm not out to ruin anyone day I'm sure there are many others that have been wrongly treated by those two mgr, they both need to be fired, my drive changed frm 23 min to the Athens oconee location to 46 mins to the Bethlehem location, jus so my Salvatore can get a descent cut,,#FIRE/THEM/TWO/MGRS we need race /less mgrs when dealing with people other than they're own

    I took my dog, for the first time, to the Athens grooming salon. Lizzie, the salon leader was recommended to me. I am beyond impressed at the services provided. I do believe she went above and beyond to take care of my dog. Thank you so much Lizzie and to the entire grooming staff. We will most definitely be back

    This is the best PetSmart I've come across. It's clean and organized with extra friendly staff. I enjoyed that one of their staff members was sitting on the floor with me while we were trying on different life jackets on my fur baby. Another staff member offered my dog pieces of dried 100% beef liver during check out (which my choosy little guy loved), and she gave me a handful to take home, too. Definitely sign up for the PetSmarts treats loyalty program (for free),and you get major savings (like 15$ off a doggie life jacket)!

    They cut my toy poodle, and didn't even say anything about it when I picked him up. Found out only after getting home when he kept licking his inner thigh. I was already displeased with the service today because they had him for three hours but didn't trim his nails, do his pad shaving, or sanitary trim. How can you ignore some of the most necessary parts of the Bath & Brush service? They took him back to finish after I pointed it out, and I can only assume that's when he was cut during the sanitary trim. The groomer, Miranda, was neither present when I came to drop off and pick up. Today's appointment just seemed very careless and poorly done.

    A cut under my poodle's ear which was attempted to be covered up.

    This review is a bit overdue as my dog is almost 10 years old and she was trained as a puppy. We…read morewere at such a loss with Violet and didn't know what to do. I saw a bad review from someone else years ago and it triggered me to post this. I was actually a bit mortified by the post as it was the most unprofessional review and so far from the truth. Actually Violet still goes to US Canine for boarding every time we go out of town and I won't take her anywhere else. Violet actually went to another training facility (one I will not name) and she came out worse than when she went in. Violet is a pit bull and as most people are aware pit bulls get a really bad wrap. They just need a little proper training and some TLC (as with any animal) and that's exactly what US Canine did. She actually did have to go through the intense two week training for extreme behavioral issues (trained by Angie) and she came back a completely different dog! I love Violet so much and if it wasn't for US Canine we would have had to give her up. She has become such an important part of my family and I wouldn't have done anything differently. In fact, my next dog will be going there as well and I live 20 miles away! Thank you US Canine (and thanks for letting me review you so I can post a pic of my doggie )

    Angie, Josh, and their team saved my relationship with my dog. We were at the point of speaking…read morewith rehoming agencies for our two year old dog who was aggressive towards me and leaving me distraught on a daily basis. We tried 3 different in-home trainers over a year and saw little to no difference. At one point one of these people even told us our dog would need to be on anxiety medication the rest of his life. Then, one of the agencies suggested we try US Canine before surrendering our pup. Our dog spent 3 weeks at US Canine and came home the loving, respectful, and sweet dog we knew he could be (no medication necessary!). It has now been 8 months and I am so thankful to US Canine for giving us a second chance with our dog! Everyone at US Canine cares about your dog and your family and they make a concerted effort to help you understand the changes you need to make for your dog to be successful. They are always available for questions and concerns so that your success can continue longterm. I now have confidence with my dog and know exactly what to do to redirect him from minor issues and continue his learning. US Canine is THE BEST!

    We have two energetic and lovable Shih Tzus who needed help with training and structure. Although…read morethey're only eight days apart in age, our younger pup has a strong will and a big personality! After researching several training options, we found Christy--and we're so glad we did. Her approach, which avoids shock collars and focuses on positive, effective training methods, was exactly what we were looking for. We started with the puppy class and then moved into the adolescent class, and we're incredibly pleased with the results. At just 8 1/2 months old, our boys are doing great. We continue working with them and really appreciate having a jump drive of materials to revisit when we need a refresher or help with a behavior challenge. Christy has been an outstanding support throughout the process. Her classes are comprehensive, thoughtful, and truly top-notch. A heartfelt thank you from Enzo, Jax, Mike, and me--for your passion, your guidance, and for helping give our boys the best start possible!

    Christy with Best Buddies was amazing. I enrolled Max in the puppy class and wow what a difference…read moreit made. I learned all about positive reinforcement and how to properly address puppy issues. This has increased my bond with Max. Now we have fun training and learning together. Christy kept the class size small and allowed for one on one help during class, she was available after class and other times when I had questions. I will be signing up for the next class with Best Buddies. Highly recommend.

The process to secure an appointment is not particularly lengthy but we did have to make our date 3 months in advance. UGA VTH has an emergency department for urgent care cases. Our experience was very satisfying. Dr Timothy Vernier and his student assistant, Lexi, explained what we could expect from our day and after an initial evaluation we asked for a set of xrays so we could have a good starting point for regular annual evaluations to determine the progression of his condition. Our final meeting wrapped up a thorough and, we think, productive day. We found the fees reasonable and comparable to what we paid in the past for evaluations of this kind with other dogs. All in all, we recommend UGA VTH for your small animal's healthcare. P.S. While you're there read the book about the wonderful pets, large and small, furry and feathered, all loved and brought to UGA VTH for treatment.

After researching multiple places we chose UGA Veterinary Hospital and are glad we did. Everyone was phenomenal from our initial contact with Stephanie who was most informative and helpful, to our vet student Riley, and Dr Venier who performed the surgery. We could not be more pleased with the quality of care, knowledge and concern for our dog that everyone demonstrated. This was not an inexpensive procedure but UGA costs were very reasonable compared to other facilities.
