He was a rescue from a hoarding situation and apparently had never been trained to do anything, but when SMS sent the first video to my phone all we could say was, "Is that our dog!?"

Petco on Erie Blvd. in Dewitt NY has provided me with more dramatic experiences than any business I…read morehave ever reviewed. In summary: While they are superficially friendly and pleasant to work with most of the time, when things go wrong their customer service is very lacking. My initial experience with Petco was good; We bought a parrot (Green cheek conure, the one you see in one of my my profile pics) at this store The lady in charge of the small pets area at that time (Peggy) was very knowledgeable, polite and helpful; we initially spoke with her first, then went home to think about it and returned to buy the parrot. We returned the next day (Sunday), Peggy wasn't there so we were assisted by a less knowledgeable employee (he gave us the wrong supplies for the bird, didn't know what food we should buy etc.) who fortunately is no longer there, and Peggy was later replaced with another less knowledgeable employee. We were buying the bird with a gift-card. At the register my daughter was so excited, with the bird / bird carrier in her arms looking forward to bringing the bird home. Unfortunately, one of PetCo's servers went down- the one the processes gift cards. The cashier could not process the gift card. The "manager" came over and explained that we could not purchase the bird until their issue was resolved; so I said "You're not going to take that bird away from her, because of YOUR issue, are you?" Well, they did- I'd been shopping there for years but they couldn't make any arrangement for me when THEIR system was down! It was easier for them to make a kid cry instead. I happened to know that any customer oriented organization should never be reliant on a single server. One other day, shortly after I took a photo like most good Yelpers do, the small pets manager comes up to me and demanded that I delete the photos taken, in her presence, or that I would be arrested by the police. She claimed it was against PetCo policy and they used the police to enforce it - for those of you that know anything about the police their job is not to enforce private company policies, thats a civil matter, so dont ever be intimidated when someone threatens you with the police for something like this. I cannot give the place one star because the fact of the matter is they have many decent staff member & no one has better prices on pet food than PetCo; so now that is all I use them for- you get a much better deal if you buy online + select in-store pick-up. Store is reasonably clean. Dog grooming services available

Nicole with Paws First is one of these... I was given her contact information from a friend in September 2019 after driving to Iowa for a 5 month old puppy, his name is Hank. I am very OCD about who comes into my home especially when I am not present, and even more so when it comes to caring for my dog. Hank is very loved by my family, he is not just a pet but an investment of myself and resources for my future. It was of high importance to find someone whom would love and care for him the same. I tried doggy day care where Hank was just another dog and number. Sure he had fun, but I noticed Hank was picking up bad habits I would then have to break. I also tried the ROVER app with a previous dog, and encountered a variety of different issues. Finding Nicole reduced a lot of anxiety in my life. Nicole offers a professional, affordable pet care service, and one I have been able to count on. She has an impeccable character, is responsible, reliable and trustworthy. I found comfort immediately after meeting her. She has always followed my directions perfectly, and sent follow up emails with photos after every visit. Until the Covid Crisis I hired Nicole 4 - 5 days a week since October 2019. I recently sent my Hank away for professional dog training where he will be for the next four months. Upon his return I will depend on Nicole's pet care services again. Anyone who's looking for someone to comfortably allow into your home and care for your treasured pets, Nicole of Paws First is just that.

Both dogs are beautiful, incredibly healthy, and have been amazing additions to our family. And I really can't say enough good things about Famn Damily. I've been there twice now. With my family. In both cases we drove 240 miles to get there, just because we realized what a special place it is, and because we knew we didn't want to get our puppies from any place else. You set foot on the farm, and you see dogs that are truly living their best lives. They have so much space to run and play, they are so well cared for, and so loved, and so clearly happy!! And healthy. And the facilities that have been constructed for the dogs, that clearly took a great deal of time, money and effort to build, are very impressive. Melodie Hammond runs the farm. And she's amazing. I know that my future dogs will be golden retrievers, simply because I know I only want to get puppies from Melodie, from Famn Damily, and Golden retrievers are what she breeds. The last thing I said to Melodie when I left the farm yesterday was, "see you in another two years"

K-9 Kamp is a big upgrade from my pets' previous doggy daycare. It may have a few faults that I…read morehave noticed, certain days have too many dogs in my opinion and shpuld be limited, but overall so far I have had a good experience. I really appreciated the openness they have about the facilities, they have scheduled interviews with new dogs and owners where the walk the grounds with you. This is very different than my previous daycare where I was not allowed in the back areas. The workers there absolutely adore the dogs, and my dog adores them too. There are some days where he sees me at pickup and turns around the other way to go back in. I do think this type of daycare, due to the amount of dogs, requires certain temperments. I could see some dogs getting overwhelmed/stressed. My dog's favorite activity is following other people/animals or getting them to chase him, so this environment works well for him. He still does get some times to rest however. Another thing that is great is that they have a live cam for both small dog area and the large dog area. That paired with the photos they post on social media i's helpful for me to ensure my dog still seems to be having a good time. He always has his tail up and looking happy so it seems good for me. The biggest gripe I have is that 80% of the time when he comes back he stinks really terribly.
