We hired Tina to care for our border collie over a long weekend. Tina was highly recommended by…read morethe Oswego Animal Hospital. Throughout the initial interview process, it was clear to us that Tina is a professional, clearly loves what she does, and has tremendous training/experience. Tina was able to quickly bond with our dog and alleviated any concerns we had from the get-go. She is thorough and organized, took notes for the future, and helped us to feel that our dog would be in great hands. The notes that she left for us during her visits were very detailed and showed great care and compassion for our dog. She played outside with him even in the cold weather, sat with him while he ate, and left a nice toy for him too. We feel that she went above and beyond what we would have expected and will hire her again without hesitation.

I took my cats to Dogwood for years. They were the only vet they'd ever been to and I really liked…read morethem! In this last experience at making a routine appointment, I spoke with a technician on the phone who was condescending, argumentative, and would not listen to me on what my cat needed. She dug her heels in. Then the vet (whom I did not speak to myself) called and left a message explaining the rationale of the THEIR decision on what my cat needed without involving me in that process. I cannot trust anyone with my animals who won't listen to me. Unfortunately I won't be returning. I spoke with some friends feeling frustrated and three of them said "I would never take my pets to Dogwood". I've since moved to a different local vet and so far, had a very good experience from scheduling to interacting with all the techs and vets!

I confirmed with booking that he was all good and nothing needed to be done. In the middle of my vacation out of country, they called to say they were wrong and that his rabies vaccine expired. I immediately starting making calls to family members to figure out how to take care of him while I was gone. While i was on vacation. There was no apology. And they refused to give any compensation on my $400 bill. And when they called me after I was home from vacation, it wasn't to apologize or discuss the matter, she said "I'm calling for payment". It was then blamed on the employee that booked me because she was new and no longer works there. When I shared on social media, many others are coming out saying the same thing happened to them with Stonebridge.
