My wife and I have taken our two 12-year-old dogs to American Pet Resort since we moved to New Bern…read more2 years ago for both boarding and daycare services. Though expensive, we have had nothing but good experiences keeping our dogs with them until most recently. One of our dogs, a very social and well behaved West Highland terrier, was banned from spending any time with other dogs on the 2nd day of a 7-day stay after bitting another dog. He spent 6 out of the 7 days of our trip either in the kennel or, for some reason, the hallway outside the kennel while our other dog was in the kennel--a very strange decision given that he's great with our other dog. Why not have them in the same space? Though my Westie has never shown signs of violence or aggressiveness before, I realize the need for them to be careful and protect the other dogs, but no one at American Pet Resort contacted us to tell us what had occurred. We learned after looking at the online cameras. There we saw our Westie confined to his kennel while all the other dogs, including our second dog, were playing outside. Why didn't someone from the kennel call us to let us know? That kind of proactive communication is something I expect. I was none too pleased to find out what happened only after having to make a call to find out why our Westie was left alone in his kennel during outside time. While away, I made a call suggesting the staff place my Westie and my second dog in a separate outdoor space with one another. The staff member I spoke to said they would do so, but they only did so once. Our Westie spent the next 5 days out of our 7 day trip in either in his kennel or the hallway (?) just outside of the kennel, and has been banned from outdoor play with other dogs during future visits. We will make sure that there will be no future visits.

I've never wanted to board my dog and wanted someone to care for him the same way I do. That's where Wendy comes in at Happy Tails Pet Sitting. Not only does she treat Pumbaa like one of her own but more importantly she ensures he is safe and healthy. She communicates regularly with pics which I love because I miss him when I'm away. I literally have to pick Pumbaa up and make him leave when it's time for him to go. If you're looking for a safe, happy, healthy environment versus a kennel this is the place. I can't say enough on how great Wendy's experience is at very reasonable prices.

Went to Pamlico Animal Hospital today for a 1st visit. Everything leading up to the visit was…read morepositive, communication was great, etc. Upon arriving, they put us in an exam room for 30 minutes with zero updates as to when the vet was going to arrive. I dipped out after waiting around 20 minutes to be sure they hadn't forgotten about us. The receptionist said she would check on the doctor to see. Waited another 10 minutes in the room with zero communication or explanation for the wait before finally walking out. 7 minutes later we get a call asking if we were still here. I explained that we waited 30 minutes before giving up. The caller tried to correct me and say that it was only 25 minutes (As if we weren't sitting in the hot exam room acutely aware of the time). The rudeness of being completely unaware and argumentative of how long we waited was the icing on the cake. This visit was as much about us getting to know them as them getting to know us, and no thanks. Our time is valuable too.

He came with some bad habits especially while on the leash. Our Veterinarian recommended Bill Mattis at River Ridge Kennels. After we talked to Bill on the phone we enrolled Teddy in the six week obedience training course. And what a blessing! We found their prices very reasonable and the training was excellent. There were six dogs in our class and each dog had their own set of issues and personalities. The love, respect and compassion Bill showed our pets was nothing short of amazing. Well, Teddy passed with flying colors and my wife and I did as well. Bill and staff come with many years of experience and I can't give enough praise to Bill as he is the consummate professional when it comes to training dogs AND their owners. We highly recommend River Ridge Kennels and Bill Mattis.
