We've brought our standard poodles to Audrey for several years. They are always excited to see her,…read moreand we have been delighted with her results. Out normal appointment is wash, cut, and blow with a mani/pedi. It takes a full two hours - sometimes a bit longer to complete a Standard Poodle. Normally, we specify details of our poodle cuts. The most recent time however, we asked Audrey to style what she thought best. The result was gorgeous - something we'd not have thought of. She is an artist. Audrey takes only one dog at a time, so she's completely focused on each. The studio is located in her home's lower level with professional equipment and always clean. She likes the color purple. Audrey has her own dogs and is obviously a dog lover. This, IMO, is a characteristic that sets her apart from other groomers who do the work mechanically on a supervised deadline. TIP: Reserve an appointment ASAP. Audry's appointments are normally booked weeks in advance. ADVICE: Do not let your dog free roam the fenced backyard. One of the sheds is a chicken coop that gets our poodles super excited. The chickens definitely do not like barking and jumping dogs at their chicken wire fence.

I can even text back to make the appointment, which is super convenient for when I'm working. I had a short list of recommended vets from my friends and I had an extremely difficult time even getting two other vets on the phone (and both couldn't see a new puppy for many weeks!) I then tried Village Vet. They answered my call, understood that the vaccines and roundworm meds were time sensitive for our new puppy, and got me in for an appointment right away. When I called later that night about his crying, they reassured me he probably felt bad after his vaccines and he'd be okay the next day. Sure enough, he woke up chipper and with the zoomies. I was so appreciative of their responsiveness to my call! They even doubled check with the vet, who called me back knowing it was our first dog, to let me know that Momo would be fine and vaccines can make them feel pretty rotten for a day. In November they sent a Black Friday email out that got me huge discounts on heart worm, flea and tick meds as well as his puppy food. Totally unexpected but very appreciated! Saved me almost $70 in one stop. This is our first dog and we have loved the care at Village Vet.

I would absolutely avoid this practice owner at all costs unless what your pet needs is minimal and…read moreyou know exactly what is needed (I.e. standard vaccinations for boarding, etc.) We came in to Gaithersburg Animal Hospital and unfortunately ended up working with Dr. Tidd. She came across to me as smart and understanding. But that proved to be just a false impression. Here was our experience; My dog had horrible, urgent diarrhea that contained some blood. I was very familiar with his already sensitive GI tract, and condition (IBD) and had already had several tests done on him in the past and tried every less extreme remedy to no avail (and his condition worsened) so I knew right where to start. I ordered an ultrasound. Miss Tidd also insisted I get an xray which made absolutely zero sense to me because; 1. I knew - and assured her - that he had no blockages; 2. An ultrasound would capture more tissue than an X-ray (I asked them to verify this and they wouldn't); and 3. Since he was having movement, obviously there was no blockage. I declined the xray and left that practice with very little information. When my dog's conditioned worsened still, I went to Dr. Tidd directly at Village Vet, explaining that he needed fluids and some more supportive care as his diarrhea was becoming involuntary and he wasn't eating and was becoming lethargic. She literally took one look at him while leaning against the counter in the exam room with her arms crossed, and zero examination and said he's not dehydrated - she could just tell. Then she went to the back and got a bowl of water and came out and plunked it down and my dog drank. It was as if she was trying to prove me wrong. I hesitantly agreed to more bloodwork that I didn't think necessary (since he'd just gotten that days earlier if not less), so she took him away with her - informing me that he took treats from her freely while he was away (after I informed her that he had severe allergies and IBD, and he was there for severe diarrhea, that struck me as incredibly negligent, and again it definitely felt like she was trying to disprove my statement that he wasn't eating... his prescription food). I came in for the specific purpose of getting him fluids so when we finally returned to that she said he doesn't need it. I said "Well, can we just do it anyway?" And she said no. She then explained that, since he was such a big dog, the amount of fluids he'd need versus the amount she could give wouldn't even be enough to help him. What kind of idiotic explanation is this? So I basically said I don't care - can we just give him whatever fluids you feel you can give him, and she again said no and AGAIN suggested we do X-rays which I declined. As we left I asked the tech for the results of the blood tests - everything normal ...except slightly elevated because he was dehydrated. Dr. Tidd also gave us a probiotic paste which I found silly since he wasn't eating, and I later found out that his system was simply washing out anything it came into contact with without absorbing it so the HUNDREDS of dollars we spent for the visit, the blood test, and some stupid probiotics was a total complete waste, and roadblock to getting my boy proper treatment. I found another vet (Bennett Creek AH) who actually examined my baby before informing me that his gums were tacky and he was still lethargic, so he was absolutely in need of fluids, and he'd already lost 5 pounds from not eating. I wanted to beat her to the punch so I said "in case you think he needs X-rays I don't want -" and she cut me off and said that if we had an ultrasound we didn't need any X-rays and confirmed that the constant diarrhea was strong evidence against any blockage. She also instructed me about the GI system and how certain diarrhea presents and how cases of blockage present and my boy didn't fit the profile for a blockage. He received hydration but then the diarrhea turned to straight blood - a condition known as hemmorhagic gastroenteritis, which can be deadly, and which has an unknown cause. He was hospitalized for 2 nights, receiving fluids and supportive care before finally pulling out of it. My guess is that he was exposed to toxins in the soil from then sudden and large amount of Spring rain. With the correct supportive care from a much better vet he pulled through and fairly quickly started eating and gaining his lost weight back. Dr. Tidd just wasted a huge amount of time and money and flatly turned away care that was absolutely needed. I definitely do not recommend this doctor at either one of her practicing locations.

Other than never being able to figure out whether I was due for a free dog wash after my six visits, I always had good experiences with this location, that all changed today. Today's issue happened to be that I got a call 15 minutes before I was supposed to be there saying that they needed me to come 30 minutes late to my scheduled appointment, when I said, I would split the difference and be 15 minutes late because I already had the dog in the car and was on my way. I was put on hold and then told that would be OK. Upon my arrival I was put in a room that had so much hair from the previous dog that the tub would not drain and I walked out covered in hair that was blowing around when trying to dry my dog (that was after having to move the dryer as they did not have the 2 that are normally there). Meanwhile, they were having one of their employees groom another dog in the room next-door instead of having the self wash stations open for self washes for their customers. Then to top it off the price to wash my own dog (with someone else's dog hair) is now $30 for a 20 minute time-slot, a teaspoon of shampoo and some of their water. I've been frustrated that it was difficult to call to schedule an appointment. Their website was/is cumbersome and not conducive to actually scheduling a time but gives an "afternoon/morning/evening" option. Then they would reach out to you with what times were available and you'd go back-and-forth trying to iron out a time instead of just being able to call. Very disappointed at the direction this new ownership has taken this establishment. This will probably be our last visit here...
