Report
My husband brought our 6 year old Frengle for a standard nail trim. We've been taking him there since he was a small puppy. I'm not sure what happened between our dog and the nail tech but to give him back to us with a bloodied paw is just upsetting. Our dog absolutely adores people and gets anxiety around unfamiliar dogs so he barks and may growl but it's no reason to cut our dog and rush him back out to us as if nothing happened! When my husband took him out from the back seat of our car there was blood everywhere! Our poor Toby has been through enough as a pup so for this to happen

Pooch needed annual exam. Check in and wait. Had to lead Gronk to the door (he's a protector). Wait outside and get results. No going inside. Wait is worth it, very helpful staff and loving to Gronk. Always happy to support!

Report
We have been using FAH for many years. Recently our cat, Scout had kidney failure. Dr. Brady examined her and did some blood work. After we got the results later that day, it was determined that the best course was euthanasia. We came back, she left us alone with Scout, to say goodbye. She was extremely compassionate and reassured us that we were making the right decision. After the procedure she left us alone again, so that we could leave when we were ready. About a week later she sent us a sympathy card with a handwritten personal note of comfort.
Dr. Brady should be commended for her compassion
