First, the good: The care itself is amazing. The doctors…read moreare so patient and calm with my two nervous girls, and I've never doubted that they were taken care of to the absolute best of their ability. That's a HUGE plus, as peace of mind is important when choosing a vet. Parking has been really easy in their gravel lots on either side of the building every time I've been there. The bad: While the vets are amazing, the front desk staff is lacking in the customer service department. I try not to judge too harshly in this area normally, but I have consistently been ignored, put on hold for 15+ minutes, and twice forgotten about entirely. I know they're probably busy but it's difficult to call and ask questions, schedule appointments, etc over the phone and seriously cuts back on the convenience factor. The price. I naively assumed all vets offices were at least close in price, so when my past vet in Knoxville charged us $215 for two dogs annual shots, I was shocked when the same shots plus ear drops was $420 here. After asking around, this seems to be at least $100 more than other local vets in this area so we are planning to find a new vet now. Overall: if money is no object and you're patient with the phones, you'll get wonderful care for your pets here!

We have been bringing our pets here for 10 years. This place used to be great, but sadly it is not…read moreany more. I had an appointment today for two of my dogs, just a yearly check up. I arrived 10 min before the appointment, and 59 minutes later, we are still waiting on the vet to come in. Starting from the way they have you "check in" which you have to do from your car, and on a hot day, you should expect to sit there while your car is running for at least 25 min. We will not be coming back here again.

From the moment I called this facility I knew I found the right place. We had to bring our dog…read morewith us on our trip to Tennessee since our kennels were booked solid at home. Calling smoky mountain pet resort they were so friendly and informative. We ran into some issues coming down with the weather and the bad drivers. Calling the facility they were very understanding and helped us out. The outside of the facility was deceiving since it looked like a warehouse. inside was super clean and welcoming. This is a family owned and run operation. There are several generations running this kennel. Their love of dogs is very clear. Our dog enjoyed his stay and was pooped out on the way home which is always an indication for him that he enjoyed his time.

I went to Pigeon Forge after Christmas and needed a place for my dog to stay. The staff at Smoky…read moreMountain Pet Resort were more than accommodating in finding a space for my girl. When I dropped her off, the staff came out in the waiting room to meet her, and spend a few minutes making sure she was comfortable. They encouraged me to call and check on her as much as I wanted and said I could visit her during the day. I loved how open they were because some places are annoyed when you call to check on your animals. When I picked my girl up, she seemed healthy and happy. We'll definitely be back again if she needs a place to stay.

She is professional yet compassionate, highly capable and caring. I did not have a single worry about my pet family while in the care of Off the Leash. I now have no stress regarding my pets when travel opportunities pop up. We will definitely be using them in the future. I would recommend Off the Leash to family,friends, anyone wanting top quality care for their animals.

We have had the privilege of using Laura's services multiple times now. Before she was scheduled to…read moresit the first time, she came out to meet us and our "babies" (2 Saint Bernards and 2 cats). Since these are our "kids", we are very particular about who watches them. All of the pets took to her right away! She was down on the floor lovin' on them and didn't even flinch when the Saints slimed her. The first time she came to pet sit, our male Saint was very standoffish, borderline aggressive. Laura stuck with it and now they are the best of friends! We unfortunately had a water leak; she called us right away and helped any way she could since we were out of town. She sends us texts throughout the time she is sitting to let us know how things are going and how the babies are doing. Her prices are very reasonable and competitive with other sitters in our area. It's great not having to worry about home when we're gone! We would definitely recommend her services and will continue to have her sit for us!!

I was quoted $65-$75 for full groom for 7 pound Yorky poo. I know it's my own fault that I thought…read morethat it would be on the lower end of the $65-$75 quote, because he has been groomed before, was not matted or dirty, he's very good and it doesn't take long to do him. When I picked him up, I was charged the $75 rate plus tax which was 81 something and when I said why so much he said "well we quoted you it's $75,,,, plus tax ,,,,Tennessee tax is 9.25% and that makes it $81." Thank you, sir. I had no idea. He was catty, which is totally not necessary from the owner (he said) and the person taking your money. While I was waiting for my dog, I walked around and looked at some of the merchandise, and everything was dusty ~ on the shelves, the jars of merchandise, everything. It was pretty dirty in there. The machine where you run your card had dust all over it. I understand it's a dog place, but you can dust off your credit card machine and especially the merchandise if you want customers to buy it. All in all, the haircut was OK. And his nails had been clipped and maybe buffed because they were not sharp and ragged like another place we visited. Did not leave feeling good about this place. Note: I have no problem with the tax or the Revenue service! Re-read the review ~ or don't. But don't make it out like I am complaining about the tax. My issue is the price ~ BEFORE tax ~ and the attitude of the employee and the lack of cleanliness. To reiterate ~ even though I was quoted $65 to $75 for my dog, I should have known they usually don't charge the lower amount. Done.
