We have had an overall great experience with the dog den. We've been taking our dog there for about…read morea year and a half now. He's a large (~80 lbs) coonhound who is fine around other dogs, but has some anxiety challenges with people. He's also real loud and tends to make lots of noise when he's left alone. He's boarded there a bunch of times, once for over a week. We always include the day care option for him, which is an extra cost but worth it for him to have the outdoor time (they have a fenced area that I believe they use specifically for day care) and socialization with other dogs. This is the only place we've boarded him, but we tried some other day care options in town and have been happiest with the Dog Den. The staff there knows what they're doing with our dog, and it's helped us to feel confident leaving him there. He started off feeling very nervous during drop-off, but now is excited to go and knows exactly what to do. I've seen some negative reviews about experience with staff there. The guy in charge is direct, which sometimes comes off as gruff. I get the impression he likes dogs more than people, and frankly I'm totally fine with that because he knows his stuff around dogs. I've seen him directly correct some staff behavior that made my dog uncomfortable (see anxiety mentioned above), simply by quickly observing his body language and understanding his specific needs. Other places have failed in this where the Dog Den succeeded. That's not to say the other staff there performs poorly, I've always been extremely happy with everyone there (he LOVES Carly- she's amazing and I hereby advocate for her raise). Just that my dog, like many dogs, has some specific needs. We'll continue to recommend the dog den for both day care and boarding, even though it's sort of out of the way for us. In my experience, their staff has shown to be very competent and professional with the animals in their care.

I wanted to replace my vet clinic because it was sold to some large corporation. Good Friends was…read moreone of the places I called. I wound up making an appointment. They required a $30 deposit. I asked if the deposit was refundable. The person I was speaking with said that appointment could be cancelled and deposit refunded 24 hours prior to appointment. Since the appointment was 2 pm Monday, I asked if they were open on Saturday. The person I was speaking with said they are. That meant I could cancel 48 hours in advance by calling as late as 2 pm Saturday. A couple hours later, I learned that Good Friends is also corporate owned. I called at 2:14 pm Friday 10/11/24 to cancel, just a couple hours after I made the appointment. Another person answered the phone, and she refused to refund the deposit. After calling my bank to dispute the charge, I called back to give them another chance. Lydia answered and initially refused to give her name. Eventually she gave me her name and revealed that Good Friends is part of Heartland Veterinary Partners. I called Heartland Veterinary Partners and was unable to secure a refund. So now I have to file BBB complaint, AG complaint, and potentially a small claims action. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS.

Headline: Who treats their customers this way?…read more Grooming: 3-stars. Customer service: 0-stars. There are better-priced, kinder, and more professionally-run groomers throughout the C/U area. Money is better spent elsewhere. I haven't been treated this poorly by a business in a very long time. The groom took 90 minutes longer than expected, and I was not updated about a delay. The owner's response to my frustration about the timing was defensive, blaming of me and my pet, and took no responsibility for her company's delay in service. Who treats their customers this way? Finally, the groom was not done to completion as the fur around the face and neck was not groomed at all.

Will not recommend to anyone. I took my dog in due to him not eating or drinking for days. His…read morestomach is extended and he gained 5 pounds, which if he is not eating he would not gain weight. He also has been stabile in his weight for many years as he is an older dog. I only took him here because my vet could not get him in for a few days and I did not want to pay thousands at U of I Vet Med. Spent $700 to be told he is dehydrated but nothing is wrong with him. As a dog owner for my entire life (my parents had multiple dogs when I was a kid and multiple had medical concerns) I know my dog and how he acts. To be dismissed about my concerns and told there is nothing wrong with him is concerning. I am now taking him to my vet due to the same issue as well as a massive bump on his ear that is causing his ear to droop and him being in pain. My dog pants when he is stressed and in pain and I tried to tell them this as well but this was also dismissed. Not only did I spend $700 to be told nothing was wrong, now I have to pay even more money to get the original problem looked at and fixed. If a thorough exam had been completed and my concerns were heard, my dog would have already had the treatment he needed, instead of being in pain and I wouldn't be out so much money for the same concern. I was also told by the tech I would receive a call the following week to check up and see how my dog is doing but have not received a call and now 3 weeks later have not heard anything from them. I took him to my vet, Country View, who just looking at my dog told me he had an ear hematoma. He had a severe ear infection that led to his ear drum being shut off. My vet answered all my questions, including telling me that him not eating and drinking was because he was in pain and had an infection. My dog will now have an ear droop the rest of his life because the infection was not caught. This is negligence on the doctors part at Sports Vet. There was no exam done because if there was he would have caught the ear infection which could have been treated for way less than $700 and my dog wouldn't have developed an ear hematoma. Sports Vet does not want to do anything to make this better and just say I'm sorry. What do you want me to do? Do better! Stop charging people outrageous amounts of money to find something so simple as an ear infection. Do your job!

Very strange with a youngster answering the phone, and talking over us as the juveniles do these…read moredays. Some puffed up admittedly unlicensed male "Beau" got on the phone - and did the same talking over you routine. His speaker listener obligation, really fell through the phone - yelling, yet not listening to me the owner of the patient. He admitted having no license in anything. HAve spent thousands there, and brought 4 or 5 pets there. Have never run in to such an unprofessional needy employee like this anywhere. One of my pets was mis-diagnosed there a couple of years ago - no apology or refund. I do have a professional license in a healthcare field - No one is perfect - but the failure to accept my pet for treatment and deal with the youngster's failure to handle the call like an adult - instead of a nasty cry baby - was so bad, it was almost hilarious, it was handled so poorly. Have spent thousands there and whoever this "Beau" guy is, has to go. It's completely unprofessional to act like a brat. This isn't how a professional healthcare provider should behave. They are losing patients due to an attitude issue. Not to mention that they had no pain relief RX for both of my cats that had dental procedures done on the same day once.. There are techs and 2 particular docs there that we love - but we aren't going to be treated like we were treated not too long ago. Just being open and honest. Beau would not sllow me to talk to a vet - which would have been the first appropriate thing to do.
