She answered all of my questions. I have so much comfort leaving my pup for a few days knowing he will be well taken care of. The communication was great as well as the follow up to my questions. Greatly appreciate it. Also we do classes here as well for training and it's been great to come and learn new things with my pup, bond with him and work on basic concepts for me and my pup to thrive and work on together. They have so much to offer and we've only scratched the surface so hopefully we ll learn more like their pool training soon in the near future.

I was very fortunate to…read morehave discovered the doggie daycare / boarding facility " Hounds Town" Now, that I had retired and re located to Chesapeake, VA we quickly realized that if we were to go on long trips, we would need to find a place for our dogs to stay. We are so grateful to have discovered that a new Hounds Town located in Newport News, VA. It's just short of an hours drive for us but we wouldn't trust just anyone to care for our furry children. All of the dogs staying at Hounds Town are generally separated by size and are in large open pens where they socialize and play. They have smaller private rooms for feeding and for overnight stays. My oldest dog is 12 years old and has started showing the early stages of arthritis. The owner of Hounds Town of Newport News, Dave, was so compassionate and had a nice sized throw rug placed in his room to assist my dog in getting up after laying down. My dogs love coming here to play with the other dogs. The groomers here clipped their nails and washed and dried them before when arrived to pick them up. It's a common for pets that do stay here often sleep at home restfully , what has become known as " The Hounds Town Coma". The staff here go above and beyond to make sure that your pet is well taken cared for be it for daycare or several overnight stays.

When we've told them what we're working with Oliver on behavior-wise, they have been supportive and have reinforced our efforts. I can't speak highly enough of Hounds Town Newport News. We feel secure knowing Oliver is safe and happy when he's with them.

The receptionist picked up and was able to immediately schedule a check up at 9:15AM the same day. Once we arrived, we were promptly seen by Dr. Bates within 5-10 minutes. He and the staff clearly know how to deal with distraught, uneasy animals. He checked out my cat for any issues and sent us home with some medication and peace of mind! We are grateful the clinic could take us on short notice and ensure our cat didn't pick up any major illness/bugs during her outdoor escape. It wasn't a cheap vet visit, but it was absolute worth it. Our cat has also been seen by Dr. Bates for vaccinations and fleas within the past few years - both of those visits were great experiences as well!

I was in so much shock I couldn't believe that this woman would ever say something to a customer like that. Utterly rude and unprofessional

His feces were being trapped every-time he pooped and now he is left with a huge abscess on his butt and is in pain. There is no way that staff didn't notice this. I can't imagine how many days he was suffering there. You even have to pay extra for them to have outside time, but don't expect basic care included. If this was being blatantly ignored, what else do they neglect? Do our dogs actually get fed when they should? Do they actually get taken out for the bathroom when they should? Completely unacceptable. I will warn everybody I know about this place.

All this is to say that he's gone from once a year visits to more frequent ones. The vet has been amazing. I call our little dog "the bitey jerk". He's super grumpy in his old age and has to be muzzled because he threatens to bite. Doesn't want to be touched, I can relate! The vet is patient with our old man and understanding. Yes. Vet care is pricey but have you shopped around? Most vets in the area are more expensive. I've never had an issue with the staff. I'm positive that if those complaining had actually said something to the vet? The issue would have been resolved. Also, why leave negative reviews because a business expects payment at time of service. Huh? This is a great local vet and deserves much better than the couple of low ratings.

Prior to moving to Williamsburg, we drove our dogs to a boarder that was almost an hour away because we knew they were good to our pets. Once in Williamsburg, we visited most of the dog boarding providers, and decided giving Paws a try. We have left our dogs there several times over the last couple of years. While we still feel anxious boarding them, our dogs are always happy and in very good shape. They do not have any stress when we take them there, which is a good sign. Additionally, our dogs and their bedding return to us without the smell that often results from boarding. I cannot recommend them enough! We can enjoy our trips knowing our little ones are in good hands.

Upon pickup I was informed that one of my dogs had a spot on the top of her head that was bleeding a little bit, which was not super out of the ordinary. The staff let me know that she thought it was "old lady spots," and that she cleaned it up and put some cream on it. I didn't think too much of it and took my dogs home. Later in the day I realized that she was actually covered in small wounds on the top of her head and three large wounds along the back of her neck. Brought her into my vets office and they confirmed it looks as though she got her head stuck under a chain link fence and tore up her head and neck. It greatly concerns me that no one was around to notice this or even bring it to my attention. I called this morning to inquire about anything additional that may have happened and they told me they had no idea. I feel terrible for letting my dog stay here when she already tends to be slow to warm to new environments. Please beware of this kennel. I have brought my dogs to several kennels over the years since we are a military family and never had anything like this occur.

Chase was dying from cancer and needed a special touch of love and care that boarding couldn't offer. I asked my vet at Jolly Pond for suggestions, and she highly recommended Susan and her staff. After meeting Susan and seeing her interact with my sweet boy, I knew I could leave confident that Chase was in the best possible care. That was only confirmed upon my return. If that wasn't enough, Susan made it a point to call me after Chase passed away to offer the most sincere condolences and sympathies. The staff at Bubble Buddies don't just run the routine of pet care, they really care about the pet and family too. They always go above and beyond. Now, two years later, I am happy to say I still use Bubble Buddies to help care for my 16mo. old Boxer mix, Harley Quinn. Anytime my work schedule or traffic has cause me to run late getting home to her, or I needed to leave town for work or family reasons, Susan has always taken my call and come to our rescue to ensure Harley was well tended to until I could get home. I really don't know what I would do without Bubble Buddies!!!
