However, I got this dog sweater from this location and thought maybe my dog would wear it once or twice for pics but never again. (I'm not a huge fan of dogs wearing clothes, but I had to admit a noticeable difference with my short-haired dog not shivering during winter months while wearing two separate coats. So I backed down on making fun of dog coats. My two larger, furrier dogs in prior years never needed manmade coats.) But this sweater is turning into a Linus blanket situation. I tried putting on a "Christmas" dog coat that matched her red Xmas collar (I love festive dog collars!!!), but it was white and getting dirty too quickly. I took it off to handwash it and put the Bark Place pink sweater on my dog solely for one walk, and she's been running away ever since when I try to take it off at night. At one point, she slid under one of the bar stools in my dining room, around the corner, ran into my bedroom and into her crate, flopping down sideways. Even if you don't need anything else in Bark Place, take note of the dog clothes. A bunch of my relatives crochet and knit, so I already knew the dog sweater was solid quality but expected it to wear. It still looks brand new, and my dog is glued to it. When I take it off to bathe her or what I *think* is comfier to sleep at night, she growls and leaps for it. I think a pink sweater and a red bow collar clash, but she couldn't care less about me being the fashion police. I'm tickled by how much she likes THIS particular sweater but has never ever been this into any other dog clothes gift (that I usually return) in four straight years. Don't sleep on the dog sweaters, I guess, unless you're my own dog who will turn over sideways so she CAN sleep in hers.

He also always sends pictures and notes after their walks, and I genuinely look forward to those updates every time. And somehow, he manages to take the BEST pictures of both of my girls -- I swear some of them look professional! The biggest sign of all, though, is how excited my dogs are every single time they see him. It's obvious they adore him, and that says everything.

I've been coming here for 6 months since I adopted my dog earlier this year (a husky mix). He's…read morefrom a shelter and I wasn't sure how he'd do with grooming. When I first took him in I warned the staff that he can sometimes be mouthy (he's a husky mix - very communicative about what he likes/doesn't like - but not aggressive). It took a few visits but the last 2-3 he's been getting rave reviews on how good he was doing. So 6 months in, I drop him off for his usual and get a call an hour later with a vague description that he "came after" the bather and "got her sweatshirt", so they wouldn't finish the groom. I go to pick him up, they charged me half price for barely a bath and were very obviously treating me like a second class citizen. I asked for video footage (as I feel is my right) so I can understand the full picture and work with him on it and also be able to communicate in the future things he likes/doesn't like. I don't know what "go after" means in this context, I think they didn't want to say "attacked" but I know my dog and he wouldn't do that unprovoked or without clearly communicating in advance. When I asked for video footage the salon went quiet and it got awkward (again I explained why - I got a vague explanation I deserve to know the full picture) and I was told the owner would follow up with me on it. They made me go in the back to get him, he's soaking wet in his crate, very diminished. It wasn't said explicitly but I got the insinuation that we wouldn't be allowed back. He spent the rest of the day at home in a very defensive/protective state. Since this, the owner has not called me on the date they said she would and I still have received no further context or information as to what happened. I'm disappointed they wouldn't give someone who'd been coming regularly more information and treat them so coldly. Giving two stars because we had previous good experiences on the surface, but questioning a lot of that after this incident.

She took careful notes and did not even roll her eyes when I even provided instructions on food and water refills. haha!

I even got a picture of Cleo, proving that she was alive and well...and also very happy to have had the visit! :) It should also be noted that due to my kitty being sick the night before (as mentioned in the report above), Alexis offered to stop by my place to check on her AGAIN in the a.m., just hours before I was due to arrive home. This way, my mind would totally be at ease during my travels back home. ABOVE AND BEYOND!!!! :) Upon arriving home, I noticed that EVERYTHING was in order. I noticed that Cleo's used food dish had even been replaced with a clean one and, the used one was thoroughly cleaned and put into the dish rack! :) This was AWESOME!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! While Dr. Moll came across as kind and caring when I met him, the behavior of…read morehis staff is inexcusable and cruel. On Wednesday, September 24th at 3pm, I went to pick up my standard poodle after his neuter and gastropexy surgery. I was brought into Room #2 by a man from the front desk and told I'd be reunited with my dog shortly. As soon as the man walked into the back, I immediately heard a dog howling and crying. I was fairly certain it was mine. Moments later, I clearly heard a woman yell "shut up" at the dog, then yell again to other staff members: "someone shut him up." Shortly after, I heard the same man who greeted me laughed and joked, "he'll be gone in 10 minutes," while my dog continued to cry. Then the woman shouted my dog's actual name while yelling at him. At that point, I shouted, "Bring me my dog. I can hear him crying and I can hear you yelling at him." I opened the door to the front desk and told the woman there that I could hear the yelling and wanted my dog immediately. Her response? "We have a lot of dogs back there." I told her I knew it was mine--but even if it wasn't, no animal should ever be yelled at in a veterinary clinic, especially after a major surgery. When the nurse, Ron, finally came in, I immediately told him I had heard the woman yelling at my dog. His dismissive response was, "I have no idea who that was." On my way out, I confronted the man who had first led me to the room. I told him I had heard everything: my dog crying, the woman yelling, and his own joking remark. His response? "I don't know what you're talking about." So let me be clear: I raised this concern to three different staff members, and each one brushed it off, denied, or covered for the behavior instead of acknowledging it was wrong and taking care of the issue. That tells me this is not an isolated incident--it's a cultural and reoccuring problem. We are home now, and my dog continues to cry. He is clearly in pain and distressed--and knowing how the staff treated him behind closed doors makes this even more devastating. He was there for several hours and I can't imagine what he was going through or how he was treated when I wasn't there. My dog is a standard poodle who is used to crates and kennels--he regularly goes to grooming competitions, gets groomed at salons, and has been boarded with zero issues. This was not a matter of him being "difficult." This was a matter of unprofessional, uncaring, and cruel staff. I would never trust Christensen Animal Hospital again. Their staff demonstrated not only a lack of compassion but also a willingness to cover for one another rather than protect the animals entrusted to them. If you love your pets, do not bring them here.

After being a client of Christensen Animal hospital for many years I became increasingly…read moredissatisfied with the care provided there. For the duration of my relationship with Christensen I recognized that their pricing was higher than other clinics I'd used over the years. I've had dogs and cats all of my life and had been responsible for veterinary care decisions of my animals for well over 20 years. So I feel like I have a good feel for veterinary care expenses. The good: the staff is responsive and friendly. My calls were always answered or if I left a message I received a prompt response. The text messaging function is super convenient. My pets received quality care there. The bad: While I long suspected I was being over charged or being recommended services that were unnecessary, my most recent experience confirmed this to be true. The general office fee is above average and they insist on a formal exam and full fee for any appointment. I began to feel this was excessive when they insisted that my dog required a full wellness exam every 6 months or they would not maintain his boosters for Bordetella. I had never had a clinic insist on that, normally the booster was considered a tech visit. This resulted in a $300 cost per visit per pet every 6 months. My suspicions were validated in my last visit to the clinic. I had gotten a puppy last spring and over the summer brought him in with a cough of unknown origin. They performed a thorough exam, noted it was likely a bacterial infection & provided medication which quickly resolved the issue. During that visit I mentioned he attended doggy daycare regularly. To which they noted daycare was a "germ fest and not good for young dogs." Fast forward a few months and my puppy was scheduled to be neutered. I brought him in as instructed for blood work a few days prior. The day before his scheduled surgery the vet emailed me to say his bloodwork looked fine but noted a "very mild change in his white blood cells that can indicate stress-given his normal physical exam". The cost of the exam & blood work was $300+. I brought my dog in for surgery early, stayed for the technician check in and another physical exam. Spoke at length with the vet about what to expect & then left. Within 30 minutes of me leaving I received a text asking me if I had observed my dog coughing in the last 24-48 hours. I had not, but the tech noted he was coughing at the clinic. This seemed odd because at no time during my time there in the morning did he cough. About 30 minutes after the text I received a call directly from the doctor informing me that since I dropped off my dog he had been coughing excessively and they were concerned the previous bacterial infection had returned. Again this seemed odd since I had never observed him coughing at any time leading up to the surgery and he did not cough at any point during the check in process. After a fairly heated discussion with the doctor where I noted my skepticism in what they were claiming. They noted that they weren't accusing me of being dishonest but they were just concerned about was my dog's well being. I asked about any physical signs that he may be ill & was told his lungs were clear. At that point the doctor brought up the blood work noting it might be an early sign of an infection. Requested permission to perform an additional blood test to check for a bacterial infection and said I'd need to come get my dog. I asked for the cost of the tests they wanted to run & was quoted $400-$500. The vet stated they would need to wait a full 10 days for the results before considering rescheduling. I declined the test and went and got my dog. From the moment he was returned to me he never coughed not once. He hasn't so much as sneezed. That's when I decided to change vets. I'm happy to report, my dog successfully underwent his surgery this week. The new vet did not require new blood work, they accepted the blood work already performed, they did not observe the white blood cell issue that had been mentioned. They asked to examine him the day before surgery and DID NOT CHARGE ME for the exam separately, they included it in my final bill. He had no issues during the surgery and is recovering well. If I had agreed to the blood test Christensen had requested I would have spend ~$800 and no surgery would have been performed. They kept my $200 surgery deposit. So I was out $500 for the trouble, but could have easily been $1000 if I had agreed to the test. My total bill from the new vet was a little over $1000 & included everything. Needless to say I'm going to be taking all my animals to the new vet. If you are considering Christensen Animal Hospital you will absolutely get quality care for your animals, but expect to always leave with a large bill.
