Needless to say, she had some some emotional and medical issues to overcome when we got her. With Angela's help in 1:1 sessions, we were able to help Ava overcome some of her anxiety and focus on being the great dog we all knew she could be. Looking forward to continuing Ava's progress with Angela and her other misfits.

The DogSense online library has been a fantastic resource for us to supplement and reinforce the techniques that we learn during group classes and private sessions.

I know that I can sit down and watch a video for 10 minutes, spend another few minutes with my dog and be done for the day if that's all the time I have. I have multiple dogs at home and they vary in age from puppy to senior, and we have made progress with all of them!

For example, I know Pet Wants has their own food line along with grooming starting up. While I have not participated in either, I am a frequent buyer of their bully sticks. My dogs love them! When you buy 5, you get one free. There is also a loyalty point system to get savings. The interior is clean and pets are allowed inside. I recently went to the 2-year anniversary and got some goodies for my dogs and a piece of cake for myself. Thanks, Pet Wants!!

The desk staff were instantly welcoming and friendly, and the vet techs were the same -- you can tell everyone works together as a team. That kind of people environment is exactly what I trust for my animals. They prepared the room with some toys and a snuffle mat and yummy treats for the puppy! The vet was wonderful as well. She explained EVERYTHING clearly, answered my MANY questions and took the time to walk me through how the clinic is invested in Fear Free handling and maintaining a positive, low‑stress vibe for the animals. Having not had a puppy for a while, but invested in positive reinforcement, that meant a lot. Overall, I left feeling confident, supported, and genuinely grateful to have found a clinic that cares this much about both pets and their people.

"Drivin' to the Vet" (Parody of "Little Red Corvette"…read more~Prince) I guess he should have known by the way I took his tote out, that he should run 'n hide 'Cause he'd soon pant and cry I guess that makes me the bad guy We were going for a ride! We're going to the place With a waiting room of critters Some are healthy and some of them ill But they are all in good hands Just need to calm their sweat glands While they're waiting for their shots and pills And kitty, I am taking you to the vet Mackers, you need your shots (Oh) Drivin' to the vet We're going despite your boycott I guess I should have calmed him down When we drove to the place of the caged and the leashed Because he flattened his ears when he looked all around him Both left and right there sat some hairy beasts! The vet sized him up, I started to panic When he said Mack was overweight "But he's a big-boned Tomcat, sir, is he really so fat?" And he said, "Kitty, what did she give to you eat?" Oh yeah! Drivin' to the vet Mack, you need your teeth cleaned (Yes, you do) Takin' you to the vet But first you need to have your blood work screened (Oh, oh) Mackers was prepped and then was sedated The vet said, "Go back to work and wait." "We'll give you a call when we are done," Scraping the tartar, then we'll let you know his tooth fate!" Hastings Vet Clinic Keeping my cat's teeth clean Hastings Vet Clinic They let me know when we need vaccines! This clinic is rated by Consumer Checkbook as being #1 in the Southeast Metro area and #9 in the entire Metro area for quality and value--I can see why! My cat has been poked and prodded by several of the friendly, purrrfessional vets and vet techs at this clinic, and he and I like them all (as does my sister, whose cats also reluctantly visit this clinic). They are empathetic, gentle, and wonderful at easing your worry while explaining procedures. Not to mention they are experts at obliterating cats' stank breath! We have sent numerous other friends and family here...which is a 20-30 minute drive away from home town. While there are other veterinary clinics in Red Wing *shout out to The Bluffs for also having taken wonderful care of our family pets over the years*, paws-down we will visit the Hastings clinic first due to large cost savings ...about 2/3 to 1/2 of what you pay for office visits/teeth cleaning/extractions, etc.. elsewhere. From the hand-written messages of condolence after the loss of one of our family pets to the detailed, caring, humorous messages I have received from the vets while waiting for my cat to come out of anesthesia, I can't imagine having a better experience anywhere else. ~The Nosy Norwegian Sniffing out deals and pheromones of scared pets in veterinary clinic lobbies so that you don't have to.

I brought my dog in to have him neutered and it was a horrifying experience. He was dropped off at…read more8:30 am and they called at 1:30 pm stating that everything went well and that I could pick him up after 3 pm. My partner went in at 330 to get him and they carried him out and my partner said that his sack was the size of a soft ball. My partner asked them if that was normal, and they said it might be. The vet said they would keep him a little longer to see if it went down, well it didnt. They ended up having to go back in 2 additional times because he had internal bleeding. They were not able to locate it , so they ended opening his penis by cutting it from the tip to his sack and opened his stomach to check for bleeding. They never found where all the bleeding was coming from and they were not sure why he was swelling like that but said they gave him an extra stich to see if that helped. They called me multiple times throughout the day stating he should be fine but we are going to go back in. In all he went under 3 different times and nothing was found but he had stiches from his sack to his breast bone and along side his whole penis. They called me at 830 pm saying I had 3 choices, 1. pick him up and monitor him myself, 2. leave him there alone in a cage for the night, or 3. Rush him to the ER vet. I opted to take him home because I didnt want him to be alone overnight. The Vet who did the surgeries told me he didnt know what went wrong but asked me to call him if I take him somewhere else so I could tell him what they say the issue is. I feel like he didnt know what he was even doing. He came across very nervous and remorseful, he knew he made a mistake but didnt admit it. We didnt think he would make it through the night. He had to be carried home because he was so out of it and in pain he could not even lift his head. He still had blood sweeping through the stiches. Some weeks went by and he is still alive, but I will no longer use this vet because they butchered my dog and almost killed him. Also side note he had a Scrotal Hematoma and it happens when you mess up the neuter and they didnt need to cut open his penis or go into his stomach for that. This used to be my go to vet but their doctors have changed and not for the better. I also had my other dog put down here 2 years ago he was 14 and had cancer and they lost his ashes, so never going here again.
