The news Dr. Cathy had for us was devastating but she and Jenny were caring and compassionate through the whole visit. They were wonderful to our cat, with careful handling and demeanor she stayed calm and felt comfortable. They worked with me on how we could set up different options for payment. They also tried to help me save money by not running unneeded tests even though I did decide to have them done anyway. They left it up to me. So many vet clinics are pay now or no treatment, this place cares more about your pets than making a dollar. They are now my vet from now on. They are helping us care for Kilala until the end comes and will help us after as well. If we decide to have another cat we will definitely be back here.

Jan and team are amazing! We have 2 bichons and each time she took great care with them. Learned…read morehow they responded better to grooming (i.e. nail clippers vs electronic file, hand clippers vs electronic, etc) and made sure they were taken care of. We moved to CA a few years ago and miss Jan a lot! As a note - she is honest with you and you need to be ready for that. She told us, nicely and very professionally, that we needed to brush our boys more or she would not be comfortable grooming them. This was because each time they came in matted she saw the pain on the faces as she brushed them and could not let them through that. She knew we cared about the boys as well so this was something we took the time to work on and fix. Although we don't live there anymore we would recommend Bark Ave to anyone with dogs!

She has a full-service salon (hair, ears, toenails, anal glands, etc.) She knows every inch of their body and takes excellent care of her "babies!"

I wouldn't board your pet here ever. I've lived right beside this disgusting so called boarding…read morefacility for the past 3 years. I've also worked at a boarding/daycare grooming facility that takes great care of their dogs. So I know what a well cared for facility and dog look like. Pet Palace is beyond filthy. It's old and deteriorating. Dogs don't get let out, or walked. No one is ever there to take care of the dogs. They leave them there in the cages with only just enough food and water to fill the bowls. Leaves the dogs to roll around in their own feces and urine in a cage. Not cared for, no human interaction, no other dog engagement or play. And this can cause destructive behaviors. You'd be better off leaving your dog in a familiar area at your home than at Pet Palace.

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.

Over the last couple of years they have taken in hundreds of stray and owner surrendered Animals. Some of them injured, sick, or abused by their owners, many thrown along the roadside or dumped in a field. The caring and dedicated volunteers give their time to care for these homeless pets till they have a second chance for adoption. The work here is performed every day, 365 days a year, chores include cleaning litter pans, providing medical care, feeding and bathing, walking dogs, scooping poop, mopping floors..you get the idea, it's hard and sometimes nasty work, but someone has to do it. The team of volunteers all love Animals many of them have adopted or rescued homeless cats & dogs themselves, still they give of themselves for this worthwhile cause. Without the support of these caring individuals, most of the hundreds of pets would have ended up being impounded, where their fate usually ends with being euthanized. C.A.R.A. "No Kill" Animal Shelter is licensed by the State of Illinois, a not for profit c503 agency that derives it's funding through the donations from friends of C.A.R.A. and the support of local businesses. Additionally funds are raised trough monthly low cost vaccination clinics as well as their low cost spay/neuter program. If you feel you would like to help our homeless friends, you can, volunteers are always welcome, contribute whatever time your available, hey they have flexible hours. Not able to volunteer? They still need YOU, perhaps you are able to donate items for the thrift store, anything in usable condition, of course there is always a need for cash for the purchase dog & cat food, cat litter, cleaning products, buy vaccines, to cover veterinary costs and the list goes on....
