Ben who works the front is a perfect representative for the business, pricing is honest and well-worth it, and Simon absolutely LOVES to "go to camp." After a boarding session, Simon comes back exhausted and so, so happy. Their Instagram (pictured) is adorable and gives us piece of mind that our baby is having a good time. We recommend this place to all of our dog owner friends in ATL.

We sent our dog to Spot for a few months earlier this year when we first moved to Decatur. We were…read moregrateful to have a convenient location right around the corner from my work and the prices seemed fair. My first impression of the place was walking in a being met with an overwhelming smell. We've been to other daycares and know this is not how it should smell. But, we figured our dog sniffs others' butts so maybe smell doesn't really bother her. Second impression was that the staff kinda seemed half-baked half the time but we figured hey, dog people aren't always people-people. We get it. They just seemed like minimal effort kind of people (we literally got a free stay one time because they had already shut the computer off before we picked her up and they didn't feel like turning it back on...we weren't even late). We never got any bad notes about our dog when we picked her up but we started noticing some things that caused a lot of concern and ultimately led us to pull her out. The first was one time when we came to pick her up, we could see her through the window of a small room that shared a wall with the entrance corridor. She was sitting by herself on the concrete floor, up against the glass just waiting for us to get her. There were a few other little dogs in the room (ours is about 45lbs) but there were no humans, no bedding, no toys, and there was mess everywhere. She was just sitting there looking bored to tears. Not ok. The second was another time we came to pick her up and brought her home. We kept smelling a weird smell and when we inspected her when we got home, we found she had dried urine *caked* on her elbow. There is absolutely no telling how long it had been there and no one bothered to clean her?? How dirty is your facility that there are just puddles lying around not being cleaned that our dog laid in? We brought it to their attention the next time we took her in and told them we did not want to see that again. We asked if they knew what happened, but they said they had no clue where it came from. We understand mess happens, it's a place full of animals. But it was very visible on her white arm. The least they could have done was clean it off for her/us. But they didn't even notice? Again, not ok! The final straw came when we picked her up a few times later and saw a puncture wound on her side when we got home. It had been bleeding and didn't look like anything was done to clean it (which is concerning given how dirty this place apparently is). Not to mention, NO ONE reached out to us that there had been an incident or said ANYTHING to us when we picked her up. Why? Because they had NO IDEA it had even happened!! This time we called them directly about it and asked what happened and they said they were completely unaware of a situation. Um, wtf?? So our dog gets punctured and you can't tell us the story? Like I said, half-baked! SO NOT OK!!! We never sent her back after that! We gave them a thousand chances despite our reservations and they just kept proving us right that we should have been hesitant from the start with that bad smell. TLDR: This place is filthy and they do not keep up with your dog. We recommend literally anywhere else! There are plenty of others to choose from in town.

Updating my reivew from 2018…read more.. I've been coming to Dekalb Animal Hospital since I adopted my furbaby Mocha in 2018. I used to live in Tucker, and they were super convenient drive...and even though I've since moved to Atlanta and now it takes me 45 minutes to get there...it's worth it! I LOVE the 5-star service the vets and staff provide --- always friendly, answers your questions, medication prescription updates, keeps you informed on shots/etc (they will email, call and send postcard reminders) and treats my stubborn dog well! They know his protective/biter personality and we've had many many visits here...it's rare to find a place that you can feel comfortable leaving your dog here for any procedure/shots/dental surgery/grooming etc. The place is clean and nicely decorated for any pet owner (dog or cat). Their parking lot is large enough to accommodate multiple customers, never had an issue. Plus, it's right next to a Dunkin Donuts...so while you're waiting or dropping off your pet, you can grab some food! Also outside is a bench to sit at, a nice koi pond and space to walk your dog around to do their business. Wonderful A+ recommend!

She is the definition of professional--always prompt, reliable, and communicates clearly. I've been using Ashley for over 10 years! She cared for my first dog, who has since crossed Rainbow Bridge and now she's taking care of my latest pup. What truly sets her apart is how wonderful she was/is with my dogs. My first dog was a Shih Tzu - very particular and stubborn. He immediately softened to Ashley. From the very first visit, she treated him like her own, and it's clear he absolutely adored her. She has a natural way with animals, and her calm, caring energy puts both the pets and owners at ease. She is now caring for my Henry, an energetic Yorkie. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Henry is in such capable and loving hands. Definitely very lucky to have found her!

I recently enrolled my Border…read moreCollie puppy, Zoltar, in their program, and the results have been nothing short of transformative. As any Border Collie owner knows, these dogs are incredibly high-energy and "too smart for their own good." I was looking for a trainer who understood the specific needs of a high-drive working breed, and we found exactly that in Jack. Why Jack is the Best Jack is an absolute miracle worker. From our very first session, it was clear that he doesn't just "train dogs"--he understands canine psychology. * Tailored Approach: Jack recognized Zoltar's intelligence immediately and gave us specific mental "jobs" to keep his busy mind occupied. * Clear Communication: He didn't just train Zoltar; he trained me. He explained the "why" behind every behavior, which gave me the confidence to continue the work at home. * Genuine Connection: You can tell Jack truly cares. Zoltar was always vibrating with excitement to see him, which made the learning process fun rather than a chore. The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Advantage One of the best parts about training here is that they help you achieve the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy certification. Getting Zoltar through this program was a huge milestone. It covers the essentials: Socialization, Training, Activity, and Responsibility. Having Jack guide us through the AKC requirements ensured that Zoltar wasn't just learning "tricks," but was actually becoming a well-rounded, polite member of the community. It's the perfect stepping stone if you eventually want to pursue Canine Good Citizen (CGC) or therapy dog work. Why You Should Choose BHV If you're on the fence about professional puppy training, here is why BHV stands out: 1. Safety & Structure: They provide a controlled environment to socialize your puppy correctly, avoiding the "bad" habits puppies often pick up at random dog parks. 2. Expert Guidance: Jack helped us nip herding behaviors and nipping in the bud before they became lifelong issues. 3. A Foundation for Life: Since starting training, Zoltar has transitioned from a chaotic ball of energy into a focused, confident, and well-mannered companion. Barking Hound Village (and Jack specifically) provided us with the foundation for a happy life together. If you want a well-behaved dog and a stress-free home, book a session with them immediately!

Many sent me crazy prices and couldn't get him in quickly. Dr. Adams called me that evening. It was kind of late, which she didn't realize, but I was delighted to have an expert on the phone. She immediately sought to calm my nerves and explained the readings could mean many things, not just cancer or thyroid problems. She also explained the stones could be THE cause of the high calcium, which our primary vet hadn't mentioned for some reason. She brought him in two days later for an (super affordable when compared to other vets) ultrasound and ruled out all the bad stuff. But the stones were a concern, she said. There were lots of them and they were perhaps too big to pass. Within a week, she had our boy in surgery (she offered to do it sooner, but my schedule was too stacked over the coming days). Dr. Adams removed the stones and prescribed a new food that helps his bladder. When Chewy needed a prescription authorization, Westside got it to Chewy stat. When I had a couple of needless worries over the next few days, Dr. Adams quickly called back to dispel my concerns. The furboy healed beautifully. He was asking for tummy rubs -- right where the scar is! -- about three weeks later. I don't think I have ever encountered any medical professional, feline or human, as responsive as Dr. Adams. That's an underrated characteristic in a vet. It is so helpful when an expert appreciates your concern and calmly walks you through your options. If I had one complaint, and it's a small one, I do wish they'd get cats in an exam room a little faster when there are dogs in the waiting room.
