It speaks volumes that the person boarding your pets for four nights and five days learns their…read morepreferences and mannerisms during that short time. Super big thank you to Bobbie at Bob's for the great one on one attention given to my two dogs! I also appreciate immensely how accommodating Bobbie was with my uncertain travel schedule. 100% will use this service again. Two happy dogs - Bentley and Bleau are now at home dreaming about their "vacation" (deep sleeping and feets running). Thank you!

When I first moved to Rochester, I was in need of dog boarding. I called the biggest one in town…read more(you can imagine what business I'm talking about!) and took my dog out for a 10 minute "test" they called it. 10 minutes later I went inside to see how my dog did and I heard my dog barking frantically in a cage. ??? HOW did that happen in 10 minutes? Apparently they put my dog in a small room with a vet and another dog and they said he didn't do well...of course not! He doesn't know any of you and was scared! I immediately went to find another company and found Animal Friends. I told them of this situation and they said to bring my dog down to meet them, he did fine as I expected and my dog has now been happily boarded for 2.5 years. I travel extensively and appreciate that it's a family owned business that actually cares about my dog. They know I travel and accomodate me too because some nights I come in late and picking up the next day is better for me. If you are looking for a great dog boarding company that will treat you and your dog like family, I totally recommend Animal Friends.

Leashes & Leads has been nothing short of exceptional. Recently, my dog experienced an issue while…read morewe were at the outdoor dog park, and the entire team immediately stepped in to help. One of the employees who was in the dog park quickly alerted the staff, and Mike came out to help carry my dog to the veterinary clinic. The team also stepped in to care for my other dog while I was at the vet, which meant so much during a stressful situation. We have always had wonderful experiences with Leashes & Leads, but this was a true reflection of how much Mike and his team genuinely care about the dogs and families they serve. Thank you, Mike, and the entire Leashes & Leads team, for your kindness, compassion, and willingness to go above and beyond. We are incredibly grateful!

We had used Leashes & Leads for boarding and daycare for our previous dog and were very happy with…read morethem. The employees seemed to really enjoy and care about dogs. However, last week was a terrible experience. We left our two Border Terriers with Leashes & Leads to stay for several nights while we were a couple hours away for business meetings. Our dogs are a 5-year-old brother and sister pair who are very bonded; they'd never been apart and were supposed to be kept in the same kennel. I told the staff that our dogs wrestle and play-fight several times a day--they love to do that and if you have Borders, you know what I'm talking about. I also left Benadryl for the staff to give them if they were anxious while we were gone. They've been fine being periodically boarded since they were one year, so they have a track record of doing fine in kennels. A few hours after we left them, we got a text that the staff had fed our dogs some other dogs' food, which we appreciated their letting us know. Then the next morning, we got a text that the staff was separating our dogs due to fighting. No amount of explaining that our dogs just play that way got through to the woman who called. I know how anxious our dogs get when they're apart from each other, so I drove two hours back to get them. (No one had given them anything for their anxiety as I'd instructed.) A surly, hostile woman named F***h checked us out, overcharging us by a lot. We finally got some of the wrong charges removed but still got charged $66 as a late fee on top of their other charges. I had to ask several times for an itemized statement before she grudgingly gave me one. She also seemed like she did not like our dogs, which was especially concerning. Our dogs are HIGHLY motivated by play and food, but for many hours after I got them, they refused to eat treats or play--they were really stressed. I don't know if they were just traumatized from being separated or if something else happened, as well. Like I said, Leashes & Leads was great in the past, but unless the owner can assure us that F***h and any other employees who are hostile to dogs and people are no longer employed there, we'll not use them again.

I will start by saying that my dog was given very good, not excellent, care by BluePearl. He is not…read moredead, yet. My complaint is the ridiculous charges for basically nothing and you apparently are not allowed any follow up unless they steal more money from you. Others have commented about them being all about the money and one comment was about feeling like they walked onto a car lot and everything being a sales pitch. It literally should be against the law for these shyster's to charge the fees they do, knowing they can get away with it because a persons pet is almost like their child and you just can't say no. I could go on, but the bottom line is, after $1,644, I was told my dog really had nothing wrong but some kind of gastro-intestinal issue (basically, he had to fart) that apparently did not require anything but a big payment. A week later, when my dog still had issues, I called and was told that I must bring him back in to be checked out again(probably another $1,500). I just needed a question answered which was refused without a veterinary consultation. This is bulls**t. I do have insurance but its the point of highway robbery that I object to. Be prepared to have your bank account operated on if you go to one of their hospitals. And, btw, for a facility as nice as BluePearl, you would think their restrooms would be clean. NOT.

Never use this hospital in Atlanta,GA. They are all about money. Charged closed to 6K and stated my…read moredog was healthy walking and awake. The truth was she came out on stretcher almost like she was in a coma. Thank G-d for Village Vets Emergency that saved my dogs life.
