But now rokko get excited to see the new pups and even comes when the amazing people call for him. I am so glad that I found a new adoptive family to love me and my dog. I moved out here alone hundreds of miles from family so having people that I trust rokko with means the world to me. ALSO you are crazy if you don't use Jessica for your grooming needs the day of pick up. She literally is a life saver. The one time I dropped rokko off and got him back he smelled like the stinkiest dog ever. So I learned fast. And JESSICA does such a great job. Trust me, this is the place to take your babies!

So I felt compelled to leave one for her. The response I received to that negative review tells you everything you should know before booking with this lady. The booking party did have up to date vaccines by a licensed vet that is on the Kentucky Board of Examiners. This woman is a total nut and I'm glad she didn't do business with her. I wouldn't take my own pup to her.

WILL NOT BE BACK. I just moved here and wasn't able to get real world recommendations so I relied…read moreon yelp to help me find a spot for my dog. I was told that my dog WOULD NOT be allowed in "group play" being that he is over 7 months and not neutered. I took him to the vet to get the vaccinations required to be at daycare. At first I was happy to hear that an accommodation could be made for my dog to interact with humans and get out for some potty breaks. I only needed 3 hours to take an exam. I brought in his breakfast and came back 3 hours later to get my dog. When I walked in his food was still out in the lobby.... The employee or owner (unsure) who greeted me asked who I was there to pick up. I told her my dog's name and she said "wow he hasn't been here very long. I haven't gotten a chance to meet him yet." I thought that was bizarre... then what was he doing? 2 days later I received his "report card" which included the photo I posted below. My dog was in fact in group play. Not only could he have gotten another dog pregnant... he came home with kennel cough. Another vet bill later he is okay.... But still. What on earth are they doing in there? How many other "accommodations" are they making that aren't kept?? Maybe another dog didn't need to get a bordetella vaccination and that's how mine came home with it? I don't know but a 30$ stay for 3 hours (including the price to just make an account) plus over $300 in vet bills later. I'm not happy and would never recommend this facility to someone. I truly hope no one came home with puppies because I know that is a lot more than $300. PSA if your dog stayed here on July 14, 2025 they may also have kennel cough or be pregnant.

We took our cat to them on Thursday for some swollen spots on her belly and to get the clinical grade of Flea meds for the season. They gave us meds for the inflammation and we got fleas meds that go down her back. We gave her her meds as recommended and by Monday she became listless and hardly wanted to move. We booked her a follow up for the very next day -Tuesday, and on that day they did bloodwork and informed my M.I.L that her blood was "funny", but just sent her home telling us to continue the meds from the visit before and try to get her to eat some tuna water and give water bc at this point she had also stopped eating. The next morning when we get ready for work she was moving even less and we decided to "trust the Dr" and just continue to give her meds and water, We get a call around 4:30pm from my M.I.L saying the thinks our cat is about to pass away that she was hardly breathing, we rush home and on the way I call the Vet to let them know what's going on and only talked to the receptionist who relayed what I said to the Vet and AT THAT POINT it suggested we take her to Morristown for a blood transfusion with a different Vet. She didnt even make the trip. She passed away suffocating to death in my arms. Turns out she had an infection in her bloodstream that was killing her red blood cells and she wasn't getting enough oxygen thru her system....ALL WHICH WAS IN THE BLOODWORK THEY PERFORMED THE DAY BEFORE (but we didnt know how to read the test results and just trusted what the Vet told us-(WE WILL NEVER BE THIS NAIVE AGAIN), they sent her home instead of telling us at that time how life threatening and critical her condition was- it was not treatable at home and she should have been taken for the blood transfusion and been put in a oxygen tent the day before, bc of how low her oxygen levels were and how infected her blood was, yet they sent us home telling us to feed and water her when she couldn't even breath. All of our Fur Babies was being treated at this clinic, we will not take them back to them ever again, and we should have known better from other times we had taken in our other babies and they were given meds and the problem never cleared up- after multiple visits my M.I.L's cat lips is still swollen, another of her cat's still has digestive issues and they cant tell us what's even going on with either of them. Save yourself heartbreak and money and take your Babies to a Vet that cares and knows how to do their job. We made a truly terrible mistake trusting them with her care and we have paid dearly for it. We will miss her forever and every day without her is a constant reminder never to trust the "professionals" and to question and investigate everything.
