The man at this location told me that I have to go back to same location to honor the 30% off sale since the sale was over the day before yesterday. Wow, that's not a very good customer service. They could have just take care of my one gallon needs and let me know what to expect next time. I needed more brushes, rollers and primer to cover the unmatched paint that none were on sale anyway but they lost sales on all that because I stoped at Lowe's and pick up the paint, brushes and the primer. Not what expected from Sherwin-Williams.

Reasons why a pet owner may prefer to wash their pup in person include, as stated on their website: + They have busy schedules and time constraints + They do not have enough dog grooming experience + They do not feel comfortable grooming their dogs themselves + They own multiple pets who require grooming + They own long-haired dog breeds + Medical conditions or injuries limit their movement and ability to bathe their dog + They have limited grooming space in their home and yard + It is easier than washing their dog in the bathtub or using an outdoor hose Our reason for checking it out: + Our short haired Terrier jumped into bed in the morning and dug his little snout under the covers, which was so adorably cute, we let him under the sheets completely, and when we finally got out of bed, we discovered a friggin' haystack of tan dog hair, holy Scarecrow does this dude shed. And our bathtub just doesn't do the trick. Puddles is the direct result of a small business owner, a groomer, who listened to her customer's requests. The venue charges on a sliding scale, from $5-$25 (depending on weight/size). Nail clips are $5. The dog stands in a small bathing bay, you spray the dude down, shampoo and wash (soaps are safe and all natural), dry with a shammy and finally, give 'em a blow dry (most dogs, including ours, hate that part). Employees stand nearby and assist as you request. Your dog stares longingly into your eyes, anxiety-ridden, whimpering, but at least you're someone he trusts. The shop offers other small bells and whistles like treats, accessories and a free bandana following the wash. They're also happy to post a Glamour Shot of your dog on their social channels. Oh, BTW, our dog was softer than we'd ever known, and shed-free for at least ten minutes.

I called first thing when they opened at 9am on 7/20. When I finally got through they were not helpful in getting us into see them. I found Mission Veterinary Clinic and contacted them. They were able to get us scheduled with an appointment that same day and they ended up moving her appointment time up because they were concerned about her. Upon our arrival, the staff was helpful and welcoming. The vet tech that called me and attended to us was amazing and so compassionate. As well as the veterinarian. They discussed every result with us and walked us through some next steps. They didn't hesitate to answer any questions. Ultimately we were referred to Roadrunner Veterinary Services as a critical care overnight stay. After some consultation on 7/21 with the veterinary staff at Roadrunner, they agreed to let me take my baby home to try some at home care. They said she needed a follow up appointment to run follow tests within two days. I called Mission Veterinary Clinic and they were willing to see her one more time but that I needed to follow up with her primary vet as well. She had an appointment scheduled on 7/24. Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to my baby on July 23. I called to cancel her follow up appointment with Mission Veterinary Clinic and shared with the woman I spoke to that I had to put her to sleep. She expressed her condolences to me and to let them know how they could be of support. I received a card in the mail from Mission Veterinary Clinic. Which to date, I can't bring myself to read but I greatly appreciated it. We were only seen at Mission Veterinary Clinic once and I received more compassion and support from two different vets (Mission and Roadrunner) that I have never been to than from an established vet I had been going to for years.

I was greeted right when I walked in and had my new parts about 3 minutes later. I love the fact that the staff here were very knowledgeable and friendly, if I didn't stay to take pictures for my Yelp review, I would've been in and out in under 5 minutes.

She was so patient with him and gave him a lesson in feeding birds, attracting birds, and bird baths. We had recently bought a house in the Montgomery and Juan Tabo area and summer was approaching, so I was interested in getting a bird feeder and seed (especially after the kind greeting we got.) She gave me a lesson in bird seed (she was SO knowledgeable!) She helped me pick out a bird feeder that came with a small bird book so my son could decipher the birds that came. She also suggested their blend called "Enchantment Mix No Mess." She even gave us some S hooks for free and a sample of different seed. We set up his bird feeder a few weeks later next to our bird bath in our front courtyard. We patiently waited for about a month watching for birds. Toward the beginning of June, we started getting the most beautiful red finches. Now one of our favorite summer activities is to watch for "our red finches." What a great place this is and such knowledgeable owners! These beautiful birds are going crazy for this seed, and people need to know about this shop. Cheers!
