My experience with Jakob, the owner and as far as I could see, only staff member, of Stellar…read moreWhiskers, was traumatic. Although very nice and professional-sounding over the phone ahead of my cats and my arrival, when I met him, it was a completely different story. I'm not sure exactly what I did to bother him - when we got to the basement room in his house in which he keeps cats - I began to set up my kitties' things as a convenience to him. But shortly after I left, he called me in a rage, yelled, swore at me, and threatened to put my cats out on the street. I tried to ask what I'd done to make him so mad, but he hung up on me and wouldn't pick up again. When I finally got back to the house shaken, my poor, shy cat had had a bucket of water dumped on her and was crying. Jakob's stepdad helped me pack up my kitties' things and gave me some cash in exchange for some of their food I'd brought over earlier and couldn't find. I could tell he was accustomed to Jakob behaving in this manner and he was nice and apologetic, and gave me his business card. Even so, this was a nightmare of a time, especially considering the reason I needed to board my cats, which was that I needed to immediately evacuate a house that I'd learned was unsafe and wasn't able to bring my cats with me to the place I'd be staying at until I could find a new one. Jakob was aware of this situation and did what he did anyway. Funnily enough, shortly after I posted this review, a bunch of fake, RAVING PRAISE reviews were written about this "business," and they were all in the "Not Recommended" reviews section, because they probably figured out that Jakob himself wrote them (they all said one way or another "JAKOB especially was so awesome." Ha. #dontthinkso

But I digress, Jakob is a great person to have managing your pets. And his knowledge and skills as a vet tech should add an extra level of comfort.

I have been a longtime client of Huffard Animal Hospital and previously had wonderful experiences…read morewith Dr. Hu and Dr. Grant. I always felt they genuinely cared about my pets. Unfortunately, my last few visits have felt more focused on money and repeat appointments than actually helping my dog. My most recent visit was urgent because my dog had an infected, actively draining elbow hygroma. We were scheduled with Dr. Christians Morales. Throughout the appointment, he repeatedly started sentences with, "It's quite pricey" and "The cost is pretty expensive," even though I never asked about the price. I repeatedly asked for a clear diagnosis, but instead received uncertain explanations, including that my other dog may have bitten him during rough play or that it might not be the hygroma. I left without a clear answer. However, when I later requested the medical notes for insurance, they clearly stated that my dog had infected elbow hygromas. Why was that not explained when I directly asked several times? I understand my dog can be difficult when sensitive areas are touched, but this office repeatedly presents anesthesia as the only option, even for a nail trim, without discussing alternatives such as trazodone. Continually putting a large breed dog under anesthesia should not be treated casually. I also asked how to stop him from licking and scratching the infected area. I was told to put him in a long-sleeved shirt, even though the hygroma had been leaking blood and fluid for days. I was then told to use a cone, which may prevent licking but does not stop him from scratching his elbow. I left without a realistic wound-care plan. He was sent home with pain and infection medication, but his condition has continued to worsen. I was told to return in a week if it did not improve, which would mean yet another costly visit without a clear remedy. While there, I also asked about missing patches of hair that may be allergy-related and a persistent bump on his chin. I was told that was "too much to go over in one appointment" and that I needed to schedule another visit. Three days later, I sent updated photos showing that his elbows were getting worse. It is now the following day, and I still have not received a response. I have since scheduled an appointment with another vet because I still do not have clear answers or an effective treatment plan. I understand veterinary care is expensive, and I do not expect it to be free. My issue is paying hundreds of dollars across multiple visits while leaving without a clear diagnosis, proper guidance, or improvement. I am genuinely disappointed because this was once a veterinary office I trusted completely.

This was the worst experience I have ever had with dog boarding!…read moreI signed up for the VIP service to board my dog for a few days. My dog was returned to me with a huge bloody wound on the top of her head. Nobody contacted me to tell me what happened or when.

I had to take her to the Vet and due to an infection of the wound she required a medical procedure, antibiotics, and paid medication. I will NEVER use or recommend The Pup Camp - stay away!

Prior to today, I gathered all of the details for today's visit. The young lady stated the temperament testing was free, (I learned this was not true once I got there and signed my pup up for the day). (FIRST NEGATIVE) Prior to leaving, I had my own water bowl and water for my pup. The young lady said, oh no, we provide water for your dog. ALL OF THE DOGS DRINK OUT OF THE SAME BOWL. (I knew I should have gotten my dog and left then but I didn't). (SECOND NEGATIVE) At the conclusion of the testing, they are suppose to provide a physical report card of how well your pup did. Fast forward to the pickup. When they brought my pup out, he did not look like how I dropped him off (I'm not complaining about this because he was playing with other dogs.) BUT, he smelled like the other dogs ganged up on him and dumped urine all over him. Ohhh goodness, he was a stinky mess. I did not inquire about this, which I should have. (THIRD NEGATIVE). When I asked for the report card, the young lady goes, "oh I'm sorry, he doesn't have one because there were a lot of dogs today." REALLY?!? But you took my money with no problem. (FOURTH NEGATIVE) The moral to this story, there are too many negatives for the initial consultation so I will pass.
