My German Shepherd/Pitbull mix woke me up at around 4:30am on a Thursday morning, he was throwing…read moreup water in the kitchen, I got out of bed and let him out, he came back in a little later and was staggering.... I took him to the VEC ER on 466A in Fruitland Park, his temp was 107.8. I didn't realize how dangerous that high a temp can be, it is deadly..... does brain and organ damage. I was not told he really had very little chance of surviving. I was frantic and threw my credit card down for 3,000.00 to 6,000.00. They were able to get his temp down, and he stayed overnight. They called on Friday morning and said come get him, adding $400.00 to the $3,000.00 I had already paid. I brought him home, he didn't know who I was, and wouldn't eat anything and when he drank water, he had explosive diarrhea. Not only was his brain damaged but his organs were too. He just wanted to go hide under a large bush in the yard, and die. My vet came Saturday morning. Told me if a client comes to him with a dog with that temperature he recommends putting them down. They are basically toast. No one knows why his temp was so high, he was fine the night before, ate dinner, acted normal. Took his pills at 9:00pm. VEC diagnosed heat stroke, but he was in an air conditioned house, so clearly that wasn't it. He was an old dog, not sure how old, with health problems. I knew that when I adopted him a little over 3 years ago, but in spite of his problems, he was a happy, seemingly healthy boy. His blood work was always excellent. I am beyond devastated, and annoyed that the ER didn't tell me that he had almost zero chance of recovery, so he ended up suffering for two days while I thought he would get better. Now, I have a $3400.00 Visa bill, and a broken heart. I wrote them, to see if they would give me some grace on that exorbitant bill, but they didn't bother to respond. Beware.

Sadly, my German Shepherd passed away very unexpectedly Saturday night while we were sleeping. As…read moreyou can imagine, we were devastated. I called our regular veterinary office, but they were closed. However, their voicemail suggested we contact Veterinary Emergency Clinic. We called and explained what happened and that we wanted to have her cremated. They were very understanding and told us to bring her to them. When we got there, they directed my husband to take the car around the side of the building where they would meet him with a stretcher. In the meantime, I stayed up front with the receptionist. She took me into a room which was clearly for people mourning the loss of their pets. She was very comforting to talk with. My husband arrived in the room and we waited for Casey to be brought in. A gentleman brought her to us. He had wrapped her in a nice blanket and told us to take all the time we needed with Casey. Both my husband and I were beside ourselves with grief. We loved on our baby and let her know how missed she will be. My husband went outside the room and met with the gentleman. Together, they made the final plans for Casey while I had a little more time with her. He was so kind, I really appreciated him and all the staff there. My husband, with his help, picked out a very nice urn for Casey, and the price was really reasonable. On Thursday, I received the call that her remains were ready. I arrived and was greeted by a different lady than last time. When she brought Casey's remains to me, I got a bit teary eyed and she offered me some words of comfort. They did everything so compassionately and professionally, I was very pleased with them. They made a very difficult decision go a little easier and for that, I am grateful.

After a week in Florida with Victoria, James, Sam, Tera, Emily, Rich and everyone else at HSD we went home with an amazing start on this service dog journey. He was fully potty trained, knew his leash manners, basic tasks, and skills far beyond what a "normal" 6 month old puppy does. The bond he formed with my daughter is unbreakable, he is always at her side ready to alert if she has a medical episode. He continues to grow and mature in his natural abilities as a service dog, he has genuinely made a life changing impact on her quality of life. He is a healthy and happy boy, passing all of his preliminary OFA testing as well as his annual OFA testing. His vet, having been in the business for many many years has complimented what a beautifully bred dog he is based on his condition, health, and temperament. At home he is a loving and cuddly member of the family, we are truly grateful to have him!

I have a HSD dog that went through the 6mo puppy program, and I can honestly say I do not recommend…read moreHope Service Dogs. He is currently 1.5 years old and I essentially trained him from scratch. When I collected him at the end of the 6mo program, he was unable to heel (could barely loose leash walk) had no handler engagement, and could not perform any of the tasks I had requested. He was not fully housebroken and was EXTREMELY distressed in a crate, which concerned me given he should have had 4 months of crate & potty training by that point... this cost $19,500 and fell far short of what the program promised. I contacted Sam & Victoria regarding my concerns with the lack of performance, as well as breeding and training practices, after new information had come to light regarding multiple dogs bred by them with genetic & chronic issues. Because of my critical message, I was subsequently ignored by Victoria, removed from the private puppy owner group, and lost the promised lifetime support. I messaged them with the intent to listen fully if they had explanations for any of my concerns, but the result has cemented my belief that they are well aware of these issues in their program and are choosing to avoid responsibility and ignore the faults. I had high hopes for this program, but those are long gone. This organization is strongly overpriced for what you get, program descriptions are misleading, the puppies are taken out into situations they are nowhere near ready for and are overwhelmed and set up for failure, and there is an undercurrent of consistent health & behavioral issues among the dogs bred.
