Lynnie is very accommodating with all my requests and checks back to see if it was the groom I wanted. I can't say enough good things about Lynnie and Pawsitively Perfect.

Unfortunately, our experience with Pawsitively Perfect was extremely disappointing, primarily…read morebecause of the lack of communication and follow-through. We were visiting the area for only a week (all the way from NJ) and wanted to arrange care for our dog so we could spend some time exploring and hiking. We first tried to book online, but were unable to complete the reservation. Rather than giving up, we went directly to the location hoping someone could help us. The employee working there was new and understandably wasn't familiar with the booking procedures. We also happened to meet the owner's husband in the parking lot, but he wasn't able to provide the information we needed either. We were eventually given the manager's business card and told to contact her directly. We called the manager twice with no answer and also sent a text message explaining what we needed. We never received a response--not even a quick message acknowledging our inquiry. That was the most frustrating part of the experience. We completely understand that employees can be new and that owners and managers can be busy. What we don't understand is why, after trying to book online, making the effort to visit the business in person, calling twice, and sending a text, nobody could take a moment to respond. For a pet-care business, communication and reliability are extremely important. If a business is unable to accommodate a customer, a simple "Sorry, we're unable to help" would have been perfectly acceptable. Completely ignoring a potential customer after multiple attempts to reach out is not. Since we were only in the area for a week, we couldn't waste more time waiting for a response and had to find another option. Thankfully, we found a wonderful sitter who was responsive, accommodating, and took excellent care of our dog. We can't comment on the actual quality of their pet care because we were never able to get that far. However, based solely on our experience trying to become a customer, the communication and customer service were very unprofessional and left a very poor impression.

Monica to the rescue! - We could not have been more fortunate to have the most loving, wonderful and beautiful boarding service just up the road from where we stayed in Lakeside Montana. - It's clear that Monica has our many years of love, hard work and care into her business and facilities.

On top of that, she gave him easily the best grooming he's ever had. Chip didn't want to leave he was having such a nice time with Monica and the other dogs! Monica has our full recommendation and five stars is not enough. If you're looking for a home away from home, or a perfect groom for your pet, there's no better spot in Montana. Thanks Monica for your care and for running a compassionate and clean business.

I began working with Dr. Rachel at Calm Vet about 9 months ago, initially bringing in my…read more6-month-old dog. At that time, Dr. Rachel diagnosed him as underweight and suffering from degenerative myelopathy, hip dysplasia, and arthritis. This felt incredibly alarming--especially for such a young pup. I consulted the breeder immediately, who was stunned and advised me to get a second opinion. According to established veterinary consensus and research (e.g., OFA guidelines and DM testing protocol), conditions like hip dysplasia and degenerative myelopathy are not typically confirmed in dogs under 2 years of age due to skeletal development timelines. I was also strongly encouraged to give him a weight-gain injection--likely B12 or vitamin complex additives--which I declined. Instead, I began supplementing his meals with peanut butter, veggies, and hard-boiled eggs, and he quickly gained healthy weight without any medication or intervention. Next, I brought in my 6-year-old lab for a yeast infection and a limp in his hind leg. After paying over $600, I was told he needed surgery. I followed her instructions for rest, and one week later, he was walking and running just fine without surgery, rehab, or any invasive treatment. It was clearly a soft tissue injury that resolved on its own. In hindsight, this too felt like a clear misdiagnosis--one that could've led to unnecessary surgery if I had blindly followed the advice given. Another concerning moment came when I said the younger dog would miss our long walks due to his brother's rest period, and Dr. Rachel offered an anti-anxiety prescription for my puppy. That felt like an unnecessary escalation, especially for a healthy, social pup reacting normally to changes in routine. The final straw came recently when my lab got another small yeast patch. I requested the same antibiotic that had worked before, but Dr. Rachel denied the Chewy order, reportedly leaving me a voicemail I never received. I followed up repeatedly. Eventually, I was told to just pick up an over-the-counter antibiotic spray. I already had some from the last round, but it wasn't helping, so I sent a photo. The assistant then said he must come in--and sent a nearly $400 estimate just to get medication. This included an exam, skin sample, bloodwork, and meds--with no option to skip parts of the bill to get him the relief he needed. It has become clear to me that this clinic is more interested in profit than in pets. There is a consistent pattern of misdiagnosis, over-diagnosing, over-medicating, and recommending invasive or costly treatments that often prove unnecessary. It no longer feels like my pets are being treated with individualized care--it feels like a business model built on fear and upselling. I am going elsewhere. After multiple experiences of premature diagnoses, excessive costs, and a lack of collaborative dialogue, I no longer trust this clinic to put my animals' well-being first. I want a vet who listens, respects owners' insights, and practices medicine that's grounded, humane, and not profit-driven.
