Two years ago, I needed an overnight sitter to care for my 15 year old Dalmatian, Chase, while I…read morewas away for a family emergency, and I knew not just anyone would do. Chase was dying from cancer and needed a special touch of love and care that boarding couldn't offer. I asked my vet at Jolly Pond for suggestions, and she highly recommended Susan and her staff. After meeting Susan and seeing her interact with my sweet boy, I knew I could leave confident that Chase was in the best possible care. That was only confirmed upon my return. If that wasn't enough, Susan made it a point to call me after Chase passed away to offer the most sincere condolences and sympathies. The staff at Bubble Buddies don't just run the routine of pet care, they really care about the pet and family too. They always go above and beyond. Now, two years later, I am happy to say I still use Bubble Buddies to help care for my 16mo. old Boxer mix, Harley Quinn. Anytime my work schedule or traffic has cause me to run late getting home to her, or I needed to leave town for work or family reasons, Susan has always taken my call and come to our rescue to ensure Harley was well tended to until I could get home. I really don't know what I would do without Bubble Buddies!!!

My husband and I started using Wagging Tails couple of weeks ago. Debbie scheduled a meet and greet…read morefor our dog, Hobbes, and she was awesome. Someone stopped by to walk our dog later in the week and left a really sweet note letting us know how he did. But, this review is really about their great customer service. I was out of town that same week and my husband had some friends pick him up to go out on Saturday evening. As luck would have it, he ended up locking himself out of the house (his house key is on his car keys and he ran out of the garage while it was closing!). After calling a locksmith while sitting in the driveway, he called me to let me know about his predicament. I reminded him that we had just given an extra key to Debbie and he should try to give her a call. Long story short, Debbie graciously went to pick up our key from our dog walker and agreed to meet us at nearby business around 9pm on a Saturday night. Did I mention it was raining?? Pretty awesome customer service, and just a really nice group of people. We will definitely continue using Wagging Tails and recommending them to friends!

But in the spirit of helping neighbors, I provide a summary of my recent experience with Godspeed, where my dog has been a client for 6 years. He had a stricture in his colon which was resulting in pooping-problems for about 5 months. It was a complicated case that looked like constipation + diarrhea. Dr. Hale and his team treated my dog over the course of 3 weeks for this condition--with kindness, thoughtfulness, good care, and communication. The stricture is now functionally repaired, and we very likely avoided surgery. Thus, not only did they provide a successful treatment, but they saved me thousands of dollars in the cost of surgery. My advice? Get pet insurance, as Dr. Hale advised me a couple of years ago! And take your dog to Godspeed Animal Care in Williamsburg if you can.

Instructions were to bring him back the next morning for X-rays if he wasn't able to keep anything down. He didn't keep it down and when we called at opening the next morning we were told to take him to an emergency clinic because there were no doctors on staff that day. No referrals given, and no attempt to reach out to another VCA facility. No vet will take us because they're not taking new clients so we're taking him to an emergency hospital being that it's a Friday now. We have already made arrangements to transfer his care to a different vet going forward as this is unacceptable.
