Unprofessional Either the vet tech or the vet gave dangerous…read moreinformation! The emergency responder that returned my voicemail via text told me they would try to work my mare in on a Saturday for colic. This was about 0830, and eventually, after hours of texting & them waiting to tell me they couldn't come (8 hours later) I was instructed to take her to the Equine Hospital in Vegas, which we did. However, they stated that IM banamine was ok (it's NOT!) and frankly they should have suggested trailering her sooner. I doubt it would have changed the outcome (my mare had a bad small bowel impaction) but it was either a vet tech acting out of their scope of practice or a vet giving wrong info (regarding the Banamine) when they could have just said "give the IM liquid orally instead". And waiting from 8:30am until 4:30pm to suggest trailering her might have been something to recommend waaaaay earlier. Even if was just an upfront "Hay, don't expect me make it. Go ahead & trailer her to Vegas" would have been appreciated. Honestly, even without them being flaky, had they suggested I even consider taking her Vegas earlier in the day I would have immediately done so & had a good review to give here. I realize my mare was not established, but I also haven't experienced having a horse colicing before and needed straightforward answers & professional help. I did not receive that. Rather, poor communication & a delay in care. Again, i recognize that it's unlikely to have changed the outcome, but i would have been willing to establish my other mare there and respect them. But specifically about the Banamine, I did not believe I could trust them with my horses safety. I did post screenshots in order but it still mixed them up. They are time stamped though, so while difficult to follow, not impossible. Sorry yall.

I as well Want to Chime in on Jaime's Review. This was Regarding the passing of Bear. He was a 13…read moreyear old German Shepard. I too was involved in this incident. There is also a Google Review in which Mrs. Wright did Respond in a matter to defend herself like she was on the Witness stand in a court room. Please Check that out: Screen Shot is attached, That review is what prompted this from me: Mrs. Wright, ( You don't hold the Moniker Dr. with me ) There is clearly a Communication breakdown between you and your staff. In different instances, you have been hard to get ahold which we had to physically come to your office to get what we needed. And when you say you called us back and it just rang with no voice mail... (Wrong answer)- All Cell phones go to voicemail, including Obama ones and the lowest cricket plan you can get. The Point is "It never went to Voicemail" is the oldest line in the book, And in bears death, this being a medical emergency this is 2024, even 911 will text you back- I'm just stating Facts,.... By the way the new excuse is "Voicemail is full" but its too late to back peddle on that now....Moving on..... The cold and callous remark from whatever candy striper in your office responded back: "Even if Bear passes at home, Still just bring him in". Of course this still would have been a two hundred dollar office visit, plus after care arrangements. With that said, I think its safe to say your more concerned about your tax bracket at the end of the month, Vs. Your bedside manner in a moment of a Grieving, family and their loss. Bear was 13 years old, He has been with us since he was a puppy. He was not just a pet, But he was a member of the family and for him to go like that.... I'm furious at you for that! And that will never change. The lack of care you guys have is at a biblical level. I'm sure you wont care what we have to write, actions speak so much louder than words. And this is tortiously round about. But I will leave things on this note... Sometimes, words do speak louder than actions, and a town this small, word travels fast. I have been reading more reviews on this site and it would appear that our family is not the only one that has had like run-ins with you and your "trained staff" as you put it. Your practice, Seems to be on a downward spiral. And I did see in your comments, that you were very quick to end care with our remaining companions. All snap judgements on your behalf with not even ..........ill wait .......c'mon......you know this one..... YES.... YES! a phone call.... The good ol' phone again..... Don't worry, we know... "Never went to Voice mail" right? -(However give her 1 star on a review and she responds before the ink dries)- We have spent years, and a lot of money with you, and we are tossed out like yesterdays newspaper. We are Grieving the loss of a family member, You have the compassion of a prison warden. Thanks again for that call. We appreciate you- Mrs. Wright, and the people that clock in there.... I want you to understand that I'm not mad at you for Bears Death. I am furious that no one in your office cares to do the right thing, EVEN when no one is looking. And that statement, I hope stings a bit, Because if anything comes out of this letter, I want every one In Kingman Arizona to know how you guys truly react when it really matters. You guys fell flat on your face- Nefarious!

When I first contacted Roy to discuss training for my dog, Finn, I was impressed with the knowledge…read morehe possessed, and the questions that he asked. I was immediately comfortable and confident that I had reached the right person . Step 1: He sent over a very detailed questionnaire, so he would know my dog before he met him. I did the 10 week at my home, which was most convenient for me. I would like to note that I travel and have a crazy schedule so we had to reschedule many times. I thank Roy for accommodating professional life. Step 2: our first in person visit Roy met Finn, my extremely rambunctious Australian shepherd/Shetland sheepdog, who loves to run out the front door and dash out into the desert, or bolt past me going down the stairs inside my house, almost sending me down the stairs . Little did I know training was as much for me, as it was for my dog. I learned so much about my dog and about me. Lots of things I thought were cute I have found are not so endearing I am still amazed. With every visit, I gained more insight and knowledge from Roy. Started out just leaving my house and working up and down my own Street. Step 3: moving from working in our neighborhood down to walking around at the park in the downtown area. Teaching Finn to sit at the corners before crossing, and not to chase after birds or other dogs. He no longer yanks on his leash. I am very grateful for the experience. I want to thank Roy from the bottom of my heart. Our lives have changed and are so much different, having a dog properly trained. Finn still has a long way to go, but I am willing to make the effort with the information Roy has given me to succeed. I plan on stopping in to his drop in classes in Kingman on Saturdays, because Finn's training will never be over, he is sly lol and he likes to get one up on me anytime he thinks I'm not paying attention. After all he is a smart dog! Roy travelled all the way from Kingman to Needles for our training, and I know he goes to Lake Havasu City and Bullhead and God knows where else If you are looking for a knowledgeable and experienced trainer, Roy is your guy . Thank you, Roy.

She made the entire process of bringing home my miniature AKC purebred poodle so smooth and reassuring. One of the things that stood out the most to me was how much care and love she puts into raising her puppies. It was clear that my pup came from an incredible environment where he was not only well cared for but also gently socialized and given the best start in life. By the time he came home with us, he was already somewhat trained, well-adjusted, and so happy and healthy. What also meant the world to me was the continued support even after our purchase. She checked in with us to see how our little one was adjusting, offered guidance when needed, and truly made us feel like part of her extended family. That level of care and dedication is rare to find and shows just how much she loves her dogs and wants the best for them even after they leave her home. Our puppy is thriving--healthy, full of personality, and such a joy to have in our lives. I am so grateful to Jessica for giving us not just a beautiful dog, but a wonderful experience throughout the entire journey. If you are looking for a breeder who genuinely cares, is incredibly knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond for both her pups and their new families, I wholeheartedly recommend her!
