Great vet office. I cannot praise Dr. Hennessy enough. Outside of a cool name, she is an absolute top notch doctor and my husband and I have trust in her judgement with all of our pets. We had the unfortunate timing of having to put down our senior chihuahua, Chewy, in Sept 2025 and that was the first time we met Dr. Hennessy and the team. Right away they were totally empathetic to the situation and treated our senior boy as if they had been seeing him for years. With that experience we have fully committed to this vet practice and continue to bring out two dogs and cat.

2024 Annual Visit

I'm disappointed by the quality of service over the years. It is difficult to reach anyone by phone, and their online pharmacy is not user friendly. Also, highly suggest you shop around because these costs are not the best on the market. My loyalty doesn't mean anything because they up my costs every visit. Will be taking my pets elsewhere.

Major hair loss on a 6 year old Doberman.

Don't take your pet there unless you have a fat wallet. I have paid $400 for a thyroid test. The test showed a low T4 and a higher TSH reading. She is a Doberman and they have a hair loss problem caused by low T4 which runs through the breed. I asked for a prescription of T4 replacement from Dr. Rudolph and she refused to give it to me relying on two numbers as a reason my dog doesn't have a T4 issue. My research shows she doesn't know anything about the problem. It is a complicated problem and all symptoms and lab readings need to be taken into account. The hair loss on my dog is severe a symptom that there is a thyroid issue. Her answer was to see a specialist or get a biopsy of the skin, a $900 test. I said we have enough information to work on. Being uncooperative, she just wanted me to spend more money. Screw this place, I am going elsewhere.

Oreo

I recently took Oreo in to her normal Vet to be Spayed. A week later Oreos ruptured her sutures. I called her vet at they wouldn't see her because there was some blood. Not knowing what to do, I called AAH and they got her in right away. Amazing Service. If you love your dog, you'll love AAH. Oreo found a new Vet!

Call log for day of appointment--this isn't the first time I've had to deal with this at this veterinary office

Not really an animal hospital, they just give vaccines but above that they are not very knowledgeable when the pet is sick.

We had our puppy, Madelynn , there for a week in June. My Husband and I were so anxious b\c it was…read morethe first time she had been away from us. The administrator, Karen suggested we put her in the VIP section. Very important pet. In this section they get a little more attention. She was not altered yet so she was red flagged to not play with other dogs, just with the attendants. Videos and pictures were sent throughout her stay. She was able to stay on her Farmers Dog diet. She even got s bath on her last day there. We were very happy with her stay. When we picked her up she was very happy. We can't recommend them enough. Thank you to Karen and all the staff at Come, Sit, Stay.

Let me start by saying I have the worlds most nervous dog! She also has IVDD (disk disease in…read moreback) and she has not been spayed. This was her first overnight stay away from home. Not an easy case. Everyone I interacted with was knowledgeable and kind they made the process easy and offered so many comforts for my little girl. When I picked her up she was healthy, happy, and smelled wonderful. The only con was a strange phone call I received from them at 9:00 pm with no message and no way to get in contact with the staff until morning, this caused me to be somewhat concerned for her overnight also they could not complete her nail grind in the time frame she was staying told us we had to leave her until 1:00pm in order to trim her nails. I just canceled the service and took her home. Overall I would recommend

I left a review after our first session with Ethan but wanted to give an update. We chose a 6…read moresession package and couldn't be happier. We initially contacted Ethan because of food aggression with our dogs. Not only have they not had any issues with aggression since our first session, they are better mannered overall. In addition to the food issue we worked on dog relaxation, leash manners, sit, down, stay, come, leave it and go find it. Ethan showed us several games to play with our dogs. My fiance and I are enjoying time with our fur babies now!! There is no more yelling and frustration. We can have them calm down and reward them with treats and praise. One of the last things we worked on was manners related to opening the door. Our lab and weimaraner are easily excited, and at about 75 pounds each can be a handful. Although we didn't have time to perfect the behavior before our last session was up Ethan gave us the tools to keep working on it. He was always professional and easy to reach. Unfortunately I had to reschedule on him twice and he was always nice about it. Our schedules can be hard to work with but Ethan was able to fit us in each week. We will definitely be joining a group class at some point. My fiance and I both feel like it was such a positive experience and increased our enjoyment of life with our creatures. Please give him a call!

He was very patient and knowledgeable, problem-solving issues stemming from impulse control (ie. chasing rabbits) to furniture biting. Our sessions were interactive with good feedback and information including detailed explanations on the reasons behind different dog behaviors and reactions. Ethan was also extremely responsive and flexible with scheduling, and took the time to send pictures/videos of recommendations mentioned during our sessions. My dog loves Ethan and I'm certain yours will too!

Quinn worked on potty training, staying on command, crate training, leash walking, and socialization with both dogs and cats. The progress Koda made in such a short time was incredible. Throughout the training, Quinn kept us updated with texts, emails, and videos showing Koda's progress, along with clear, easy-to-follow instructions to help us continue reinforcing the training at home. What truly sets Quinn apart is her passion and genuine love for dogs. She treats every dog as if they were her own, and it shows in the care, patience, and dedication she puts into her work. We highly recommend Quinn to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and effective dog trainer!

She treats Ruby like her own while also making sure I feel confident and fully equipped with the tools and understanding I need to continue her success at home. The board and train sessions are exactly what we need and are always grounded in real-life situations, so the training translates seamlessly into everyday life. I trust Ruby and her training completely and genuinely love the relationship and foundation Quinn has helped build for both of us--we are so grateful for everything she has done for Ruby and me in helping shape a happy, well-trained Golden. Thank you Quinn!! You are the best!

Grooming: I took my dog here for the first time recently. It started off with Isaac being late for…read morethe appointment and the other people working there weren't willing to check us in. So while I'm waiting around for this man to arrive for his shift I have plenty of time to notice how utterly filthy this place is. I get it that dogs are groomed here but there were tufts of hair from the entrance all the way to the back of the store where grooming is located. The check in area hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Because the groomer was late the appointment took way longer than it should have which just caused stress for my dog. Someone else (must've been a manager) finally checked us in and said she would give Isaac the notes on my dog for his groom. I didn't have a lot of confidence but overall it came out nicely. I have a short haired dog so no haircut or shaving was required. He just needed a bath, brush and nails but it still took 2 hours. (Scenthound does this is 15-20 minutes). PetSmart: #1: require that your groomers show up on time for their shifts #2: fix the check in process so that whoever is standing around can perform this task (but if #1 is handled there wouldn't be an issue) #3: increase your standard of cleaning and require at least an hourly vacuuming of the hair. I was absolutely covered in long hairs by the time I left this place and was sneezing from everything that was floating around in there. Gross. The store in general: it is usually well stocked and I'm able to get in and out with what I came for. There happened to be a promotion for a free toy with my purchase and I don't think it's too much to ask for the cashier to mention it with ALL the other upsells, donations and round ups I was asked for. The basket of toys was right there and it was only a few more words to say "you qualify for today's promotion- do you want a free toy?" That would have gone a long way with your customer service after me spending hundreds of dollars here every month. I didn't see it until I was walking out the cashier is like oop you missed out. WITAF. Not cool. I come here because it's super close and I don't have time to run all over town to get my pet supplies and grooming. I will be switching to delivery for supplies and food but I hope they get this place cleaned up. There's random dog foods on the floor that my dogs enjoyed as we walked through the isles. No idea what kind or how long it had been there but this also shouldn't be the case.

I have been taking my dog here for many years. He loved almost all of the groomers, and they took…read morevery good care of him. I guess something in the organization changed in the last year because none of our favorite groomers are there any longer and I do not like the work of the latest groomer we had. I am now taking my dog to a more professional, personalized groomer, since PetSmart seems to have become a grooming factory.
