Rudest front staff Ive ever dealt with. The older lady needs manners. Also Refused to allow my 14 year old dog his blanket while boarding because he might chew it. 14 years old, half blind and deaf, never chewed his blanket in his life. Showed no compassion whatsoever. Never again.

Picked up Sophie from the groomer on Friday afternoon and discovered an access under her eye. Showed up as a walk in on Saturday morning (in and out within the hour). Love the staff especially Dr. Kaitlyn.
