Charlie Blu, the Aussie, here telling you about my recent experience at Tails are Wagging…read more Even though Dad takes me everywhere, sometimes he needs to board me when he leaves town for my own sake, so this doggie camp was my first choice. It has a nice time range of drop off and pick up times which helps with Dad's schedule and ensures that I get to come home without delay. I like that we get an opportunity to play outside 90 minutes at a time, 3 times a day. The outdoor area is 1/2 covered and 1/2 in the sun, which gives me options in various weather conditions. Since I'm just a year old and under 40 lbs, the helpers also put me in the small doogie group with others my size, so we can play together. There is a separate area to go potty and plenty of time set aside to rest. The owner is friendly and answered questions quickly. After an interview, updated shots, and a 3 hour daycare trial , it was determined that I could come back here for an overnight stay. The 4'x6' kennels are big enough to get a good night sleep. It's a good thing Dad remembered the dog mat because the floors are concrete and would have been too cold for me. Glad we found this place because next to sticking to Dad and Mum like velcro, this boarding facility is a good fit when they can't be with me.

The price is reasonable as well and they offer 10% military discount also!

We can tell she had a lot of fun cause she passed out as soon as we got home.

Our doberman loves the big dog pool. Our pug enjoys the indoor tiny town and the splash pad with little plunge pool.. Staff is friendly and always picking up after pets. We have boarded there before for about $50/night for room with outdoor patio. We love when they have wacky Wednesdays. Those days a full day of daycare is about $19. They also have a 20% discount for military on everything except grooming stuff. They also have an additional 10% off for second pet. We love the random photos we have done for about $15. Very cute. The groomers do amazing with our pups nails ...no more WWE in our house, human vs dog to trim nails!!! They claim our pups let them do nails easily except our pug who likes to pretend he's a DJ scratching records sometimes.

Tyson (our lab) always gets so excited when he sees Zobi now & gets the zoomies They have extremely good communication, giving us regular updates & even sends us pics so we can see what Tyson is up to throughout the day! I'm really relieved we found someone reliable. We recently forgot it was trash day (we were out of town) & Zobi took out the bins for us without saying anything. They definitely go the extra mile to make sure your baby is taken care of & your home as well!

News to me because he's had baths at multiple Lucy's locations many times and regularly. They explained they were letting him air dry. Air dry a GSD? Now he smells like wet dog. When I picked him up at 12:50 no bandanna or cologne. Not the first time they missed that. Makes you wonder if all the services were performed when you pay $150. Manager attempted to interject but kept interrupting me. At that point, I was checked out. He stated he would inquire and call. No attempt to fix it right then. It's been two and a half hours and still no call. I'll drive a bit further to the 1604 location or look for another dog bather.

This was truly one of the best visits I've had with my dog, Queen. From the moment we walked in to…read morethe time we left, the overall experience was excellent. There was a brief wait in the exam room of about 10 to 15 minutes after check-in, but once the assistant Simone came in, everything moved smoothly. All of my questions were thoroughly answered, and the advice and suggestions provided were very helpful. I especially appreciated how clearly everything was explained, making it easy for me to understand Queen's care moving forward. The bill was on the higher side, but I understand that many services were provided, and I appreciated the military discount. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, and everyone absolutely adored Queen in her little denim jacket and pearl necklace. She was definitely spoiled with cheese and some tasty treats. This clinic is truly a one-stop shop for us. I feel confident continuing care with Leslie as her vet, and I'm excited about the additional services like boarding for short trips and full grooming for her monthly spa treatments. Overall, a top-notch experience.

I came to this clinic specifically because it advertised as "fear free," but my experience was the…read morecomplete opposite. My 6 year old, 65 pound German Shepherd mix has never cried at the vet in her life, until this visit. I specifically told the technician that my dog does best with blood drawn from her lateral saphenous veins (back legs), and that I've been present for previous blood draws where this worked great. They then take my dog to the back (which was surprising I thought they would do it in front of me.) Despite this, they ignored my input and drew from her jugular vein (neck vein) instead. There was no alcohol residue on her back legs, meaning they didn't even attempt what I requested. I heard her yelp in pain, something that has never happened before. The technician never informed me they would be performing a cystocentesis (inserting a needle into the bladder to collect urine). I only discovered this happened when the doctor mentioned it during a follow-up phone call. A cysto requires restraining the dog on their back and using an ultrasound to guide a needle into the bladder. For a 65-pound German Shepherd mix, this meant significant physical restraint, which is likely why I heard her screaming from the exam room. I also want it known that complications can happen after performing a cysto! So they did it without my consent and if something were to have happened I wouldn't have known to tell the ER. We didn't need to do a urine culture so it was completely unnecessary. When I asked about the different blood panel options, the technician struggled to explain and had to repeatedly reference his paperwork. He never mentioned that urine collection was part of the panel and he never said they would be collecting urine there through a cystocentesis. So the technician took my dog to the back to get her blood drawn was all I knew they were doing. Come to find out they stabbed her bladder with a needle when a simple free-catch sample would have been appropriate and much less invasive. Meaning it would have been more fear free. When I spoke with the practice manager, she insisted that performing a cysto was "more fear free" than catching urine naturally. This is absurd. Poking my dog twice with needles (blood draw + cysto) and physically restraining her is not more fear free than one blood draw and collecting urine when she uses the restroom naturally. I also want to point out that it was probably more than two pokes considering I had heard her crying and she came back to the exam room panicked. The veterinarian himself was great. My only complaint is he told me he would have the bloodwork Wednesday and that he would give me a call. He never called, I had to call them the following Tuesday. Granted this time of year is difficult with holidays so I did give grace. He was very apologetic when he found out what happened and I do appreciate it. During the appointment, I overheard him correcting the technician's estimate to include proper radiology interpretation fees. When the technician came back with the updated estimate he didn't explain any of it. He just handed it to me. This experience was the opposite of fear free. My dog came out frantic and anxious, her first negative veterinary experience ever. This is exactly how dogs develop vet fears. To that technician I'm not upset about your lack of experience, we all start somewhere. I'm upset that you disregarded my input about my dog's care and failed to communicate what procedures you were performing. When you don't know something, ask a senior technician or the doctor for help. Imagine your dog going back and you have no idea what's happening, you hear her crying then days later you find out that an unnecessary procedure was done. Throwing new technicians into situations without proper oversight is unfair to them, the pets, and the owners. Training matters. And defending clearly incorrect practices (like claiming a cysto is more fear free than free-catch) undermines your fear-free certification. I had high hopes for this clinic. With a different, more experienced technician, this could have been a positive experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, and I cannot recommend this clinic to other pet owners seeking genuine fear-free care. Lastly I want to add, I am fear free certified and worked as a technician in a fear free certified clinic. I know what is and what is not fear free.
