Five days after adopting my rescue Koda I discovered that sometime in first 2 plus years of his…read morelife, he was seriously neglected, to the point of him destroying my house the first time I left him alone. Enter Victoria Blondin. Within 2 sessions she provided a plan by which we were going to address his Separation Anxiety. For the last four months Koda and I have met with Victoria over Zoom. Victoria provided a number of exercises for me to do with Koda and after a very short period of time, Koda's fear of being alone began to fade. One of the techniques used by Victoria is to teach YOU the leader how to deal with your dog. Once Koda realized that I was always coming back to him, his abilty to relax when I was away from him began to dissipate. The techniques and actions used to retrain him were outlined by Victoria during our sessions. By following Victoria's plan Koda has become a much more happy and pleasurable companion. There is nobody else I would trust to help and train my dog othder than Victoria Blodin and her Shaggydog Pet Servic

Whatever shampoo they used worked great for Dimitri sensitive skin. They took great care to trim his nails short and really didn't cut any corners grooming paws, ears, under armpits and other tricky areas. Schnauzer face and summer trim looks absolutely perfect too. Definitely going back Groomintales.

Finding a groomer for our 2 1/2 year old MiniBernadoodle whiile away from home at our cottage…read moreduring Covid was a bit of a challenge for us. Fortunately, we discovered Groomintales and better yet, were able to get in quickly. When we arrived, the owner and her assistant were finishing up a nail clipping on a cute little pug who clearly did not have nail clipping anywhere on his list of fun things to do! We were immediately impressed with how carefully and skillfully both ladies worked to keep the pup at ease and to finish up the task. When it came time for our George Harrison, we described what we were looking for and then left our scruffy Velcro Dog, as we often refer to him - everything sticks to him - to complete our errands. When we returned hours later, we were dazzled by the sight of our new dog! Gone were the long, unkempt tangles and curls and in its place was a perfectly groomed handsome Doodle. We had left a couple of specific trimming instructions which were followed to a "T". We couldn't have been more pleased. The pricing was very reasonable which left us plenty of room for a tip, which was well earned. We will be returning again and again!

Looking for a private vet, rather than a conglomerate, the team at Bath Road Animal Hospital said they would do the surgery. Dr Samir Youssif & his team, which includes Gloria and Jaclyn, were caring and professional. Follow up was needed and every visit was better than the one before. A care plan was given and followed up on, details were worked out so that everyone was on the same page. They were a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend.

Dr. Edwards went above and beyond, consulting specialists, calling labs, and doing research to figure out what was wrong with our cat. We never received a bill for all this effort. She clearly laid out which tests were most urgent, which could wait, and recommended the most cost-effective tests to try to rule out possible diagnoses before moving on to the more expensive tests. When we finally received a diagnosis, she spent a lot of time working with a specialist in Toronto to come up with a treatment plan and researching special foods (kangaroo meat). Always available by email and phone, the team was quick to answer our questions, checked in with us frequently, and taught us to administer medications at home, even though it took a few visits for us to master the techniques. Now that we have left Kingston, we are struggling to find a new vet as competent and compassionate as Dr. Edwards. The team at Barriefield sets a very high bar.

Prelude Dog Kennels - David Swartwood has a severe anger issues, he does not conduct himself in a…read moreprofessional manner. His way of training dogs is with treats, this is fine if your dog goes for treats. There is no benefit if your dog will not work for treats. You pay for a 6 week course and your informed after the 3rd week, that he is away for a week, pick up your "homework", so it is really a 5 week course. It is my opinion that David Swartwood should not be allowed around people or dogs until he gets his anger issues figured out and is able to control himself. Plus, there was no bathroom to use at this facility, no running water for dog, and you are put in a large dome with no air movement. It is extremely hot for your dog and for people. I do not suggest training in this place.
