    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I generally don't write one-star reviews but in this case I think I should because people need to know what's going on and this business needs to take corrective action.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I selected one star because it's for "not good" even though the service I received on Monday could have been rated at 4 stars except for one thing. I'll explain. My cat had emergency surgery last weekend at TrueCare Studio City for an abscess infection of one of her anal sacs. She went in Saturday at 2AM and I picked her up at 6 AM. I had to take her back again Saturday afternoon because they wanted to see her after I called to let them know she was not urinating even though she was straining in the litter box. She finally produced her first urination at 6 AM on Monday morning, so she had not urinated for 48 hours plus. I was quite concerned for her. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To Rainbow's credit, they gave me an early appointment on Monday and I was glad to have it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And during the appointment they gave my cat an antibiotic shot that has proven to be very helpful. However, my cat needs further treatment of her anal sacs. But, the doctor told me that he would not treat my cat unless she gets a Rabies vaccine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I tried to explain to the doctor that my cat has not done well after previous vaccinations and that I did not want her to be vaccinated but he would hear none of it. No Rabies vaccination, no treatment[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I tentatively agreed to the vaccination (thankfully, they were not able to give it concurrently with the antibiotic) and set up my next appointment for Wednesday. In the meanwhile, I called the Burbank Animal Shelter to get the lowdown on Rabies vaccines for cats and was told that they are not required by law in Burbank. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So on Wednesday morning early, I called Rainbow to inform them of this and they said they could transfer me to another doctor who was 'less strict' for an appointment on Thursday or Friday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At the point, I cancelled my appointment and will be taking my cat elsewhere. Bottom line: if the Rabies vaccine is not required by law in the City of Burbank, it is the customer's choice, not the doctor's dictate, to get this vaccine for your cat. I hope this review helps someone and causes Rainbow to change their policy.

    They were very busy but very kind and helpful! They communicated very well and were thorough with their services.

    My cats, Levi, and Mulan, who are patients at Rainbow. From very ill rescue kitties to beautiful cats.

    that is excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is always friendly, welcoming and efficient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wait times are short and the veterinarians are very good.

    There is sometimes a wait for an exam room & Dr to come in, but I think Dr Stanman is worth it.

There were moments where I honestly considered going elsewhere, but I've continued coming back and a big reason for that is Jasmine. She has been consistently exceptional, and you can tell she really listens and cares. Just incredibly knowledgeable, patient with all of my questions (even when I have a lot of follow-ups), and has always taken the time to address any concerns I've had. She's made a huge difference in my experience here and is a big part of why I trust leaving my dog in their care. Also, Damaris and Katie deserve their flowers too! They also work at the front and are always welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. Their energy also leaves you confident in dropping your cub off and going about your day. Most handlers in the yard have also been wonderful from what I've seen. At the end of the day, this is the only place I fully trust with my dog. I feel confident he's safe here, and while I appreciate having cameras available, I don't feel the need to constantly check them, which says a lot.

I brought my pup for an evaluation, got to learn more about the resort, toured the facility and then brought her back for another evaluation cause #separationanxiety. Her not me! I watched her on the webcams (so many!) and she did great! Lots of shade options for her and lots of pups for her to be around. It was nice to see her socialize!

My English Mastiff, Lina, is a certified therapy dog, so her temperament, comfort, and well-being are incredibly important to me -- and Paradise Ranch has consistently exceeded expectations. Most recently, Lina stayed for a 9-day boarding visit, the longest she's ever been away from home. She came back relaxed, happy, and well cared for, with no soreness or stress -- which speaks volumes about the thoughtful, attentive care she receives. The staff truly knows the dogs, understands large breeds, and treats each one like family. The environment is calm, enriching, and well managed, and the communication always gives me complete peace of mind while I'm away. I am so grateful for the incredible team at Paradise Ranch and wouldn't trust anyone else with my dog. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional daycare and boarding.

    Puppy Island has been a dream boarding situation for my dog since the moment we began taking him…read morelast November. They are incredibly easy to contact, highly responsive, and they take wonderful care of Chico every time! He's always excited to go back, and so happy and calm when we pick him up that I can really tell he's comfortable and enjoying his time at Puppy Island. He comes back well-behaved and socialized, not freaked out from us being gone, which makes leaving for trips feel much easier! And, I think the value for the services they provide is excellent. I usually board Chico in standard boarding and really love getting a few photos of him daily -- he's always smiling from ear to ear in them and surrounded by cute doggie friends. Chico had a cherry eye flare up when he was boarded earlier this year, and they handled the situation beautifully -- they gave me options, took him to the emergency vet for a checkup, and isolated him in VIP boarding until we were sure he was okay! It was such a relief to know he was in good hands and I will forever be grateful to the staff for going the extra mile to ensure his safety and comfort throughout. I trust them completely and so appreciate that they actually know and love him, so it feels like he's at summer camp with his favorite people every time! I love Puppy Island (and so does my dog!)!

    I would not recommend Puppy Island based on my experience…read more I've boarded my dog here multiple times, and both times she came home with an eye infection. This most recent stay, she was extremely dirty--her fur was greasy, she smelled strongly of urine, and she looked like she had been living in an unclean environment. Before boarding, I asked if I could see the kennels and where the dogs sleep, but they refused to let me. Looking back, that should have been a red flag. They always ask if you'd like to pay for a bath before pickup. This time I declined because of the extra cost, and when I picked her up, it became obvious why they push that service. A dog shouldn't come home filthy simply because you didn't pay for a bath. After one bath at home, her eyes were already much better within a day. I won't be bringing my dog back, and I would not recommend this facility.

The first couple times we used Sitter4Paws we had a really great experience with the sitters that were assigned to our senior, diabetic cat. Last year, my mother unexpectedly passed away, and our regular cat sitter was unavailable for half of the trip home. We booked Sitter4Paws the second half of the trip, and let them know about the circumstances and requested sitters that had seen Jodie before so that we could rest easy during a very difficult time. Of course we know that can't always be accommodated due to scheduling, so for the first visit a new sitter came to see Jodie. On the evening of my mother's passing, we got a text from Sitter4Paws that the sitter felt he may have made a mistake with our cat's insulin dosage. It was revealed to us that instead of giving her her normal 2.25 unit dose, he gave her 22.5 units - ignoring the taped off/labeled syringes, our explicit written instructions in the app, and additional photos/diagrams of what a full syringe should look like. Thank god he realized his mistake, otherwise our cat would have slowly died alone in our apartment - and this would have happened immediately after losing my mom. I understand mistakes can happen, but the fact that a sitter was uncertain with potentially life-threatening medication if administered improperly and didn't even think to reach out to us first was quite shocking. Sitter4Paws took full responsibility, admitted their mistake, said they would take steps to make sure something like this would never happen again, and covered her 4 day ER stay, but it never should have gotten to that point. Again - we did have great sitters who took care of our cat wonderfully - but the uncertainty of who you can get especially with medication involved means that we can no longer recommend this service with confidence.
