Jennings Canine is hands down the best dog trainer in the area (and probably outside of the area,…read moretoo!) we went through three trainers before finding Jennings, and Brian Jennings had our dog fights under control after two sessions. He listens, cares, and creates a plan that works for you AND your dogs. He also trains right in your home (or wherever the unwanted behavior is) so that you know it is being addressed. We've found other trainers to be fine at basic obedience, but not with behavioral issues. Brian is both and more. I cannot recommend him highly enough! Pictured are our three former MMA fighters, now living peaceably in Charlton, MA!

In reading these reviews, I realized that Brian has gone on, after our experience with him nearly…read morethirty years ago, to have a lengthy experience of highly successful dog training. Bravo to him! We hired Brian to help us train our Springer, Beardsley when he was young. As you read here, Brian came to our house, Beardsley fell in love with him and nearly instantly wanted to do whatever, whenever Brian asked. He helped us understand our dog and train him to be the best possible version of human companion imaginable, and Brian's lessons have remained in our heads and been practiced through the acquisition of our family's future pets. I see no need to echo what everyone else here is saying, it's all well-said and entirely true. Brian is worth his weight in gold. But two things I haven't heard here do deserve emphasis. Brian is absolutely great at relating personally to the dog lovers he works for. He empowers them (us) to become good trainers ourselves without mentioning the fact that he's doing so, so that you become adept at how to manage your dog's behavior and understand his inner brain workings by the time the training sessions are completed. This is a very good thing. Also, I have perhaps never had more usable advice in teaching a pet (or a child, even) than when Brian said to me, "Linda, just saying Beardsley's name louder isn't a command. Tell him what you want him to do." (Sit, Stay, Leave it, etc.). The Best of the Best!

When we arrived for our appointment I was rudely met by a groomer who told us that we should have called an hour before arriving as they were an hour behind on this day. First of all as a business owner I find it appalling that you would treat a new paying customer this way. Secondly, the place is extremely small there were several dogs being groomed and it had to be at least 85 degrees in the place. I have two beautiful labs I would NEVER bring them to this place. My cat just needed to be brushed out that of which they assured me that they offer as a service. I would not have left our cat there . Needless to say I would never consider going back to that place.

Putting a dog down is gut wrenching and this clinic couldn't have been more compassionate. They have a quiet room with carpeting, a small loveseat and it feels like a home. We were able to be in that space with our dog as she was put down. It's a small detail but compared to a typical metal table exam room it made a huge difference. They gave us time, listened, and explained everything. Their kindness made a horrible situation a bit better and while I don't wish that situation on anyone, if you must, I couldn't recommend them higher.

My primary concern when I board my dogs is that they are not in a cage for the entire day and get plenty of playtime with other dogs in a large area. Preppy Pet ensures that your dog is supervised and gets as much playtime and exercise as they need. They have a good sized outdoor play area as well as a large indoor play area for inclement weather. The staff is very friendly, listens to your concerns about your pet, and cares about the well-being of the dogs that are in their care. The prices are exremely fair and will not make you go broke if you need to board your dog over a weekend. I feel great in knowing that I never have to go anywhere else for a kennel. The staff make me confident that my dogs are in good hands when I cannot be with them. I highly recommend this kennel and daycare!

I truly debated whether to write this review, but if it helps even one pet owner make an informed…read moredecision, it's worth sharing. This was my senior dog's first appointment. We arrived 10 minutes early, only to be told to wait in the car because the exam room was being cleaned. It was the middle of summer, and despite running the AC, I became increasingly concerned about keeping my senior dog comfortable and safe. We weren't brought inside until about 20 minutes after our scheduled appointment time. Unfortunately, the wait didn't end there. Once inside, we sat in the exam room for another 20 minutes while my dog became increasingly anxious, restless, and fearful. Staff came in and out asking questions, but the veterinarian didn't enter until my dog was already overwhelmed. Before the exam, I clearly explained that my dog is very protective of his face and can react quickly. I even brought my own muzzle to help keep everyone safe. By that point, however, after spending roughly 40 minutes waiting and building anxiety, he was too distressed to cooperate. When he managed to remove the muzzle, the assistant became increasingly forceful and visibly frustrated. The veterinarian then suggested using a towel over his head so they could listen to his heart and lungs. Instead of calming him, it sent him into a panic. Hearing my senior dog struggling under the towel, desperately trying to clear his nose and escape, was heartbreaking. I asked if there was anything I could do to comfort him, but I was immediately told no because of insurance reasons. In the end, they couldn't complete the exam and recommended gabapentin before attempting another visit. I left with a senior dog who was frightened, hypervigilant, and completely shaken by the experience. I understand that fearful pets can be challenging, but I also believe the long delays and handling methods greatly contributed to his distress. His fear escalated long before the exam ever began. We will not be returning.

I learned about this shelter during our recent online search for a kitten, we were approved to…read moreadopt and made an appointment right away. I was concerned after reading the reviews, but our experience was very different as much has changed for the better. Priscilla informed us the day of the appointment that there were some health issues with the kitten we wanted. She explained the issues in detail on our arrival and what the timeline would be for adoption after the kitten got the vet care it needed. The facility was clean, roomy, and bright. Cats are kept in separate cages (other than kittens from the same litter) and the cages were immaculate with beds, hammocks, litter, fresh water, plenty of food, and toys. We were asked to follow sanitizing protocols between handling any cat. There was a room log for health/behavior notes as well as cage logs, the latter noting daily biological functions (yup, they track it all!). We read in the logs that the health issues for the kitten we wanted had developed the morning of our appointment and she had already been treated by a vet before our evening visit. After a lot of thought about the timeline for the kitten, we returned two days later to instead adopt a perfect 1 year old cat that caught our attention during our first appointment and stole our hearts. Priscilla opened up 30 minutes early so we could get in that day and not risk losing her to another adopter. Our adoption included a care package of new cat guidelines, food, toys and a hand crocheted blanket that smelled like the shelter to help our cat adjust to her new location. We received an email of her vaccine records that day so I could make her follow up vaccine appointment on time and got the hard copies in the mail 3 days later. I would return here to adopt our next cat, hopefully many years from now. I would also recommend this shelter to anyone adopting a kitten or cat.

The lady with the grey hair is very unfriendly. She makes you feel very unwelcome I couldn't decide…read morewhich chat I wanted and when I asked if I could return, she said I don't know but we're closing now. Then I questioned am I not allowed to return and she said I don't know you'll have to call the office. I just don't get a very friendly feeling when I'm there. You are not allowed to walk between the rooms and look at the cats and they really spend a good amount of time with them. One lady that is really nice. I can't remember her name, but she sort of really tall and has short, brown hair. Not a place that makes you feel welcome. That is very sad because it might affect the cats being adopted, there were a few that I was interested in there, but I probably won't return and I will look elsewhere because of the unwelcoming feeling and the unfriendliness of the lady with the short gray hair. She is not that nice. I don't know why she is in that business.

Unlike other places I have gone in the past, they do not push unnecessary procedures on you. They give you their best advice and let you know if they think something is truly necessary. The other thing that sold me on them is their willingness and availability to see you last minute. My dog had an overnight emergency and they ushered me in bright and early with no appointment. Places I've been in the past are booked for months and refuse to see you without an appointment.
