I'm a veterinary professional that now works a remote job after spending the majority of my career…read moreworking in various hospitals. Up until that transition, I've personally performed everything my dog needs myself (under DVM supervision of course) for his entire life. In the 15 years I've been in this field, I've see a wide spectrum of care, most of it done by amazing, highly educated, and dedicated professionals but sadly, I've also seen too many instances of carelessness that led to poor patient outcomes, so I am extremely cautious about who works on my animals. Honestly, I can be kind of a pain in the a** until my trust is earned. I am happy to say that my experience with the Blackhawk crew has been excellent. My boy is 11 years old, very anxious, has multiple issues, and, true to the vet med rules that tech pets always have to be more complicated, is now dealing with a chronic illness that has been difficult to diagnose and treat. I'm not a fan of old-school veterinary medicine. I want my animals to always have the most current, evidence based care and I feel like Dr. Isom meets the mark here, which in my experience is less common in more rural areas like this. She is thorough in her assessments and discussing treatment/diagnostic options, even going the extra mile to consult with specialists as my boy's case continues to defy the norm. I am terrible with remembering names so I know I am not giving enough recognition to everyone that has worked on my boy, but Carolina and Dr. Isom have been very understanding of my background and my dog's sensitivities. The team has done a great job customizing my boy's visits to minimize stress for us both, which I deeply appreciate. I also have to give everyone extra props for accomplishing all of this while also transitioning their practice management software over to a paperless system, which is a HUGE undertaking to be handling on top of the usual demands of our profession. Well done guys!

Dr. Wert lacks bedside manners completely, unprofessional and spoke down to me. My cat was peeing blood and they didn't do any X-rays or lab work, they just manually cleared his bladder and sent his home several days in a row. Maybe if I had brought him somewhere he would have made it. But never again to Blackhawk. The only thing nice I have to say about the office is the receptionists are nice and so were the vet techs.

Usually, I have a regular pet sitter but this time she was not available so since K9 Country Club had been under new management for a while and the reviews were wonderful I decided to give them a try. We dropped in to get a tour and immediately we received a personal tour of the entire facility. We were very impressed! They stayed a week and were very happy and bouncy when I picked them up. K9CC was very accommodating and follow all directions for food and meds. Everything had been clearly labeled by K9CC and I had also requested my babies have a bath before picking them up. Randy, their groomer is excellent! He was very sweet and loving with both my babies and they loved him right back. They looked fluffy and smelled great! They were obviously well cared for and we will definitely return. Teresa Evans

For the past three weeks, I have visited the store every other day to check on a specific bunny named Ollie. I was informed he would be available for sale today, June 11th. During my visits, multiple employees instructed me to call at 9:00 AM this morning to place him on hold, as I would be at work. I followed these instructions exactly and called at 9:00 AM. However, I shortly received a call back from the manager, Laura, informing me that the bunny was being sold to a walk-in customer. Given that I followed the specific process outlined by your staff after weeks of persistent check-ins, I find this outcome very upsetting and unprofessional.

We had to give up an older dachshund because of a family member passing and not being able to keep the dog in our apartment. We did try to reach out to anyone and everyone we knew hoping to find a good home for him as well as sharing on social medias. We called her 20 minutes after drop off telling her a family member just reached out hoping to get him for their home so he could stay in the family. Her response was "we don't give dogs back" even though he'd only been there less such a short time. We tried again a couple days later and asked if we could pay her for the time he has spent there (less than 3 days). We were told a short "no". She also advertised with false information being that he has no health problems when she was told he has epilepsy, and that he needs a home without children when in fact we told her repeatedly that he loves everyone including children, just that he is used to having someone around all the time so a senior would be better. This woman and her "rescue" has lost all respect from our family and friends. If we were running a rescue and a family member wanted that dog back, there would be no questions asked. These people should be ashamed of themselves.

Update: I spoke with the breeder and they let me know that the dogs that I met lived in a guardian…read morehome that they worked with. They claimed that the blind dog, Daisy, is blind now due to repeat untreated eye infections that she had and that my dog, Stella, has seizures due to head trauma from being abused. They are going to continue using Gidget (a dog from Stella's previous litter) for breeding for this reason. My vet completely disagrees with their theory and says that my dogs seizures could not be caused from head trauma. She has had several seizures since we adopted her in January, so they diagnosed her with epilepsy, and it is a heartbreaking condition. It isn't ethical or worth it to risk breeding dogs that have a chance of passing on any health condition. There are perfectly healthy dogs that are being euthanized in overcrowded shelters every day. This breeder did sell puppies from this guardian home that severely abused and neglected their dogs, and took zero accountability for doing business with them for any amount of time. Please consider rescuing a dog that needs a good home from a shelter before buying one from a breeder. Any puppy bought from this breeder is coming at the expense of one of the 10+ parent dogs still living on this "farm" that are being used to produce back to back litters. You can find labradoodles/golden doodles in shelters and rescues too.
