    Cobalt

    Our kitten Cobalt got his neuter surgery here. They were very prompt in letting us know when he was out of surgery and could be picked up. When we arrived to pick him up: the veterinarian tech was very helpful in offering us kitten tips and explaining the home care after surgery. i also saw that they accept rabbits which is very hard to find!

    This was my first time at Deepwood. We needed a new vet since moving to the area from DC. Dr. Hinkson and the vet tech he was working with (I can't remember her name unfortunately) were so incredibly friendly, thorough, and took all the time I needed to answer my questions. I never felt rushed, like I've felt at other vet clinics. They were gentle and loving with my senior hound, Daisy. The clinic also had plenty of parking (coming from DC, this is a big deal!) and lots of places to sit outside, while waiting to check in. Pricing is very reasonable and competitive with area vets. I very much appreciated that they offer in-person appointments too. Thank you so much Deepwood! We have found our furever vet!

    On May 31, I adopted a 5+ year old dog from the Fairfax County Animal Shelter, Flapjack (originally named Jack), who had a history of biting; his last two adopters returned him in less than 24 hours of adopting him because he bit them, and for general aggression. Sure enough, within 24 hours of my adopting him, he bit me once, my boyfriend twice, and even my other dog, Hambone, once; he broke skin twice. He would also snap very randomly and get very tense and side-eye us with his ears back and his neck craning forward. It made me anxious to even be in my own home, and I was absolutely thinking about surrendering Flapjack back, but I still wanted to do my due diligence. I thought I was way in over my head and was desperate to find a behaviorist that I didn't have to wait 3+ weeks to see. Thankfully, the shelter referred me to Deepwood Canine Consultants and gave me Randy's number. I made the appointment on Monday the 4th and he was able to see me on Wednesday the 6th--every other place, the earliest I was able to see them was the 21st, and it was going to cost me $400+ for a session at those places. Randy actually came to my home, which was nice. Flapjack seemed to have an issue of being territorial, and at neutral sites (such as outdoors or at the shelter), he doesn't seem to exhibit the same behaviors as he does at home. Randy was incredibly patient, kind, and just very confident (not in an arrogant way, but in a strong, silent way) and it just made us feel all the more reassured. My boyfriend and I were in complete awe of Randy's competence and knowledge for hours after the training session, and he gave us great confidence regarding learning to control Flapjack's behavior. Randy answered any and all questions I had, and he explained everything in-depth. And our in-home behavior consultation--which lasted around 2 hours--was $200! Easily less than half the cost of other places. Randy's methods and exercises rely on simple but effective principles: 1) A dog will not want to waste energy in doing something that yields no results; 2) A dog must understand that you are his master and that what you giveth, you can taketh away; and 3) all the principles of classical and operant conditioning/behaviorism in general, a la Pavlov and Wolpe regarding reinforcement and desensitization/flooding. Check out my videos to see where Flapjack was at the beginning of our "flooding" exercise (purposely provoking him to get him to bite us, while we, in turn, don't react to the bite, letting him learn that biting is ineffective in getting what he wants, i.e. ceasing of petting) vs. where he ended up at the end of our exercise. I am fairly certain that Flapjack suffered some physical abuse and has thus learned to hate physical touch. I also don't think he was socialized at all. We were told that his first owner passed away and Flapjack was found abandoned in the yard for at least a couple days. It's purely speculation, but I'm guessing that this first owner lived alone with no other dogs and possibly had some misanthropic tendencies himself. I'm not sure I believe that any dogs are inherently bad; it's all in how they were raised. Not to stroke with a broad brush, but Randy makes me believe that all dogs are workable; it's all about how much time you can or want to put into it. As with any problem involving a living thing, nothing will be a quick fix. You have to decide whether you have the time and effort to dedicate to consistent hands-on training. With that said, after only a couple days, I'm in awe of where we already are. I am very thankful for Randy's expertise (as well as Amazon prime, for delivering the SAM splints and bite guard gloves so quickly). He encourages you to follow-up with him and ask him questions; he also returns my e-mails within 12 hours. Thanks very much, Randy!

    Stay away! Stay away! This vet accepted our dog because stomach flue symptoms at 10 am, after spending all day in a small cage , dirty of feces, thirsty and hungry, they decided to skip her without telling us! We called three times and during these calls nobody mentioned anything to pick her up earlier, because the "doctor " have no space? 1.We brought you a sick dog, and i wish you told us when we called that you couldn't do it, so Bella could have been home. 2. You prescribed medicine 1 week before and you knew she was very ill, and leaving her in a cage without food, water for 10 hrs is careless and abusive. 3.your assistant lied about calling and leaving a msg.especially because we called at 3:30 and you said you let us know, then we called at 6:44 and you told us that you closed at 8 and the vet will get to it. So imagine our surprise when you said you didn't, when i picked up Bella, she was soiled and stinky, was full of feces and when she got home she throw up because how fast she was drinking! Shame on you! I will write a letter to the veterinarian board first thing in the morning , ask if there were previous complaints, and i will want all our records of our three dogs rightaway, as i want to bring Bella to a vet. I would expect an apology letter from your office mailed, and i will let you know the steps that i will take.

    this is not "normal"

    I had to get my dog spayed here because I adopted her from the Fairfax County shelter. The staff is rude and doesn't care about your pet and it's very obvious. I have had several issues since her surgery with the dissolvable snitches not dissolving and coming through to the surface. The first time I brought her back they just clipped it off and it was fine but I brought her back today because it happened again but this time it's bright red around it also. They helped people that came in after me first and pretty much ignored me until I said something which is not right. A vet tech I'm guessing came and talked to me finally and said it was normal which is clearly is not and wouldn't do anything. I am so unhappy and frustrated with my experience here. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR PET! DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE! There are so many other vets in the area take your pet anywhere but there I would recommend Town and County Animal Hospital in Fairfax. I have had a wonderful experience there! :)

    My kitty Phoebe loving up on my Deepwood sweater! She loves her doctors & the staff! So do I!!

After I had made an appointment for boarding for 9 days (he'd be in a little room with a window to the outside) I decided to look for a sitter. I do not feel comfortable hiring any one of the (seems like) hundreds of teens or young adults that gig as a pet sitter; I was looking for a company that has experience and a good reputation. I thought the name of the company was odd, but I sent an email to the owner and she responded instantly and when I told her about my cat's issues she said she had the perfect "cat whisperer" for me. Done Deal! They came over for a meet and greet, we agreed to the terms and that was it! I left written instructions; the cat sitter checked in with me to confirm the start date. Every day I got a report (sometimes twice a day) and a report about what my little "angel" was up to. It was comforting to be so far away knowing he was being well cared for, personality and all. Best part, upon my return, everything was neat and clean- even in the litter room, so no messes for me to recover from. Thanks MMDP for helping me with dear George. I'll be calling on your services anytime I need a sitter for the precious little guy. Also of note, this company doesn't put you through an interrogation just to get an appointment, you don't need codes and lockboxes, and the prices were very reasonable. Thanks guys- you are the best!

We contacted her through email and got a quick response and she did a very thorough and complete consult to ensure our needs were met by her and her team. We met a few days before our departure which was day after Christmas. Within two days of our consult, one of our dogs became ill and had to be hospitalized during Christmas Eve due to reaction to a pain medication and was discharged Christmas Day. We contemplated canceling our vacation but didn't and relied on Gabriela and her team to take care of our dog while she recovered (slowly). She needed medications, extra attention, as well as taking care of another dog while we were away for 5 days. We almost canceled our trip but glad we didn't as Burke Center Pet Sitting took care of our fukids and helped our sick one recover during our absence. They communicated every day, checked in our dogs multiple times a day, dispensed medications, and cleaned up after a sick dog. Within the first day we were confident we made the right decision. I can go on about how great Burke Centre Pet Sitting is but the simplest way to put it is we put in their hands a dog that was hospitalized Christmas Eve and they were able to take care of her and make us comfortable to enjoy our vacation. I can't give any testimony better than that. If you are looking for a local (Fairfax/Burke area), professional, and caring Pet Sitting service Gabriela and Burke Centre Pet Sitting is the way to go. I'm so glad I found this company because we'll be a loyal customer for life.
