Vet #10 & counting 2. Too many unqualified vets trained abroad (islands & East) 3. Poor craft of knowledge 4. Poor cust svc 5. Unsavory & less than mentally sound techs 6. Creepy vets These are just a few gd reasons why we travel so far. Our Darby Darling: We lost our paw princess Sat., 7am on 4/24/21 as she quietly fell asleep in death over nite. Windermere Vet #10: We went to our 10th Windermere vet 3 miles fm our hm. We decided to engage the Windermere vet, during the pandemic, for just such an emerg. Their Sat. hrs. were 8am-1230pm but it was dark bet. 8am-10am. We saw 6 cars at the annex bld, knocked on the glassdoor, a male waved for us to wait, turned sideways, cont. on his call, not mindful enough to call another staffer, & we waited til 10am. They kept us waiting fm 8am-10am. We were the only customer car in the lot & all lites were off. We finally called Countryside, left, & took the hr. drive down the 429 to I4. Countryside: We wiped our well groomed little girl, dressed her in her lovely yellow floral dress, laid her on her fuchsia ladybug blanket, rolled her yellow blankie under her head, & placed her in her cozy bed. We were rec'vd with compassion & Our Darby girl will recv an honorably rest fm her final journey.

I took my precious Bella there to go to Rainbow Bridge. They have this tech that has no clue what…read morehe is doing. He introduced himself as a nurse. He came in with this yellow stuff in a syringe and injected her in the spine. My poor Bella was terrified and suffered the last 10 minutes of her life. She was thrashing her head back and forth and trying to get us to help her. He came in several times while she was suffering and said this is how it goes for some dogs. I kept asking for the vet because this is not how it goes. My poor baby suffered so bad for the last 10 minutes of her life. When he came back in with the vet my poor suffering baby tried to get under my husband's legs but all she could do was move her head but he came over and pinned her head to the floor while the vet came in and killed her. My poor baby suffered so badly the last 10 minutes of her life because this guy who calls himself a nurse tortured her. He tortured her. He had his hands around her throat as he was pinning her head down. She was tortured to death instead of peacefully leaving this earth. If you want your pet last minutes of life to be tortured go there. The guy who thinks he is a nurse at a vet specializes in torturing your pet.

Dawn is an amazing trainer!!!!! She develops individualized training plans depending on the…read morespecific needs of your dog and it's all hands on from there. My Cody had been on previous classes with a different trainer but there were lots of basics that were not mastered at all. The dog would barely listen which is the most important and most basic skill you'd need. She took him in and patiently but determinedly worked on him from the basics all the way to an obedient dog. Our dog had excessive car anxiety and over-reactiveness towards other dogs and she managed to work extensively on these issues in addition to all the basic and advanced obedience commands that a dog should possess. She even developed a plan to get him to a service dog level and the outcome has been amazing. Her approach of taking the dog in, training the dog herself for a period of time, then delivering the dog and continuing on an ongoing basis with the dog's owner is brilliant as the dog needs to not only learn all she teaches but also learn to follow the same discipline from the dog's owner. That's precisely the reason for transferring over the dog back to it's owner at a certain point. Once the dog is transferred over back to its owner, she continues to deliver lessons on a recurring basis both with and without the dog's owner and she very thoughtfully accommodates to the owner's schedule and specific needs/concerns. If you are looking for a trainer that actually puts this much thought, effort, and passion, then Dawn Hoppe is definitely you one and only person to go to. If you want a dog trainer that knows what she's doing, a trainer that customizes her training plan to your specific needs/concerns, then Dawn Hoppe is the one and only trainer to go to. While other trainers will not guarantee any results, she will work with you and will not stop until the owner's needs/concerns are fully and completely addressed! Thank you Dawn for all you've done and everything you continue to do for us!

Highly Recommend Huntress Pet Care!…read more I can't say enough great things about Breeanna at Huntress Pet Care! She was truly amazing with my whole crew -- my elderly dog Duke (11), Mia, my three cats, and even my African Grey Parrot (who can be a real jerk sometimes!). Even though she only stayed one evening and half a day, she made such a big impression. From our very first meet-and-greet, I knew my animals were in the right hands. Duke sat right next to her like he had known her forever. She sent pictures and videos the whole time, and one of my cats who usually hides from everyone actually came out and hung around her -- that has never happened before! I had a previous experience where I felt my animals were neglected, so I was nervous. Breeanna completely put my mind at ease. She is professional, dependable, and truly treats your pets like they're her own. You can't go wrong hiring her -- she is absolutely "The Great Pet Whisperer." @Huntress Pet Care has a gem in Breeanna!
