When they couldn't get a sample, they wanted us to sedate our dog and pay for another visit, another day. We never had issues getting samples at our last vet, and don't have issues with our new vet. The Dr. barely touched our dogs, didn't show any affection for our pets, and treated us like we're were homeless and a financial flight risk- we had only spent a couple thousand with them, and I am still appalled that they would make us sign payment forms at each visit before they would offer care. We never found relief for our dogs skin issues which they blamed fleas for and recommended we use Bravecto, We had already expressed this med isn't working. We ended in a loop of poor care, and spent a fortune on unnecessary appointments/medication. I have never been so glad to leave a medical practice in my life.

We've been bringing our lab Schatzi to Central Bark for over three years. The staff love her, and…read moreshe loves them back. All the pups are vetted before being admitted, so we've never had to worry about aggression from other dogs. And they're super attentive, even calling me at work once when they spotted a small wound that I didn't notice that morning (she got it hiking through brush with her dad the previous evening; it was minor, but I so appreciated their concern). Most of all, Schatzi loves it there. She gets so excited when I tell her it's time to go to "school." I don't think you could find a kinder, cleaner, safer place to bring your fur kid.

I've been thinking about writing this review for a long time. I brought my 2 dogs into CB over a…read moreyear ago. The staff were very friendly but ultimately they lost our business and here's why: My older dog had a hard time there. He's nervous. At pickup we were told he actually bit the handler, because he tried to escape the kennel and he grabbed him suddenly. He reassured me that "dogs bite for a reason" - which is true. I actually felt bad about the injury and we didn't take him back. One staff member said he could return, but the staff member who was bitten implied that he probably will never acclimate to them. My other dog is social and confident. She returned a couple times for doggy play dates. I liked her having somewhere to be and something to do while I worked. However, CB requires you bring your dog at least once a week for them to be able to socialize with the dog groups. This is financially problematic for me. I could probably do every other week, but that wasn't sufficient for them. They know the dogs temperaments and they're all familiar with each other, so the weekly requirement is such a price gouge. Without those weekly visits, she'd be confined to one on one play with the humans only. That sucks. The real final problem for me was a social media post I saw, almost a year ago. They posted a dog recipe for something that included garlic. Garlic is apparently a controversial topic. I responded to their story that garlic is toxic to dogs. See the photo along with this review. They responded that garlic is ok in small amounts, despite the known toxin. This was bewildering to me. Why would you post anything that could potentially harm a dog? What if the recipe is wrong? What if a dog is more sensitive than others? The logic here is "toxins in small amounts are ok" and I cannot get behind a place that thinks that. I'm leaving my dog in their care. What else might be ok in small amounts? A little bit of mishandling is ok? A little bit of other toxins? As long as they survive it's ok? Where is the line? The mistrust here tipped the scale to never returning.

My husband and I moved to the area a little over a year ago with our beagle, Tucker. Pretty soon…read moreinto our time here, we needed a pet sitter that we could trust to take care of Tucker. We knew that we needed someone who could come to the house because Tucker has a lot of anxiety and a kennel is just not the place for him. My husband and I also do a lot of traveling and many times it is not feasible to bring Tucker. I found Zach and Felicia on yelp and figured I would give them a call. Zach came over to meet Tucker and I just knew from this meeting that we had found our pet sitter. Tucker has many anxiety issues and he tends to be apprehensive around men, but he warmed up to Zach right away. We call on Zach and Felicia every time we need to leave town and they have always been there for us. Sometimes we have even had to call on them last minute and they still make it work! We had a crazy schedule this summer and they were able to take care of him each time. While we are away, they send us updates to let us know how he is doing. This helps me to relax, knowing that he is in good hands. The best part is that when we return home, Tucker is happy. I find their $15 a visit rate to be extremely reasonable especially because I know they are taking such good care of our dog. They also offer overnight visits and boarding from their home, which are both great options. We are all so thankful that we met this wonderful couple! I highly recommend them!

I waited quite a while to get my dog mainly because I wanted to be able to be around the house for him, so it was important to me to select a good pet sitter who would be able to take him out to the bathroom and refresh his food bowl if needed. I contacted a few other Yelpers about their experience with LPPC, and had an overall good feeling. Larry and Margaret, the owners of the company (a retired couple who purchased the company from some UO students a little while ago), came to visit me and the puppy and were extremely friendly and personable. Their rates are good, too, especially for multiple walks paid for up-front (they offer a discount and will let you schedule your visits however you'd like)--I paid $135 for 10 visits, which works out to be a discount of $1.50 off the normal $15/visit rate. They were extremely flexible with payment, allowing me to leave a check to be picked up on their second visit. Most importantly, though, Hiro seems to like all of them a great deal, and Margaret always leaves very nice and detailed notes about their visits. (She even suggested that I move his kennel closer to the door, as he is a bit excitable and tends to have piddle accidents when new people show up at the apartment.) Overall I find these folks very trustworthy, and I will continue to use them for the foreseeable future.

Then she became queen of the rafters above the heater. The soothing meditation music for the cats (heh) made me want to stay and chill also. I love this. This is a late review when I realized with horror, that I had not left one. It was just before Covid majorly hit. I surely hope they are still in business because you want your cats to stay here. I went to Scotland. I left my two babies here and they sent me text photos while I was gone, easing my worries and heartbreak at missing them. Don't get me wrong, Scotland is wonderful, but I was missing my babies and they knew it. It is on an organic veggie farm. They have rescued horses, turkeys, etc. My boy enjoyed the turkeys very much from the outdoor "catio" and I apologized to him for not being able to have his own flock at home. These people truly CARE about every cat there. I went first to "interview" them because I am truly picky picky picky about where my babies stay. I noticed they did not "prep and prepare" for my visit.... they let me see exactly how it was each day. (Big grin.... wear boots you don't mind getting mud on because the little cat area is very clean, but the area you walk across is muddy) - this is semi-rural after all, and a farm. So.... seriously.... each cat there looked happy and not doped up (there are places that do it, I found). They were lively and happy and feeling content and curious. Each cat "family" is allowed time in the catio alone as a family (i.e. no other cats are there with them). This time is shared equally with all guests. I am very sad that I had to move. I have longed to leave my babies there again just so they can have a vacation even if I go nowhere.
