It has a nice time range of drop off and pick up times which helps with Dad's schedule and ensures that I get to come home without delay. I like that we get an opportunity to play outside 90 minutes at a time, 3 times a day. The outdoor area is 1/2 covered and 1/2 in the sun, which gives me options in various weather conditions. Since I'm just a year old and under 40 lbs, the helpers also put me in the small doogie group with others my size, so we can play together. There is a separate area to go potty and plenty of time set aside to rest. The owner is friendly and answered questions quickly. After an interview, updated shots, and a 3 hour daycare trial , it was determined that I could come back here for an overnight stay. The 4'x6' kennels are big enough to get a good night sleep. It's a good thing Dad remembered the dog mat because the floors are concrete and would have been too cold for me. Glad we found this place because next to sticking to Dad and Mum like velcro, this boarding facility is a good fit when they can't be with me.

Having adopted Ellie recently, she did not have the best manners, and really had not undergone any sort of training her whole life. We knew she could use the extra help with some professional training. She had poor leash skills, jumped up on us and strangers all the time, and chewed objects around the house. After the two week training camp, Ellie is basically a different dog (see YouTube video below from her second week of training camp). She has great leash walking skills, responds very well to "no", will sit in "place" (her bed) and stay, and is all around a better behaved dog. We even had follow up lessons with Jonathan to make sure we know how all the training commands and techniques worked and to help us stay on top of it. Jonathan was nice enough to even work with our other dog and give us tips for him. I would definitely recommend San Antonio Dog Training Co to friends and family and believe the price is very worth it (Yet their prices are much more reasonable than many local training camps). https://youtu.be/LMe1qWVPWkY

We became aware of Babcock Hills in a bit of crisis mode. My son's Bombay kitty, Luna, became…read moreacutely ill, refusing to feed, refusing water, becoming alarmingly lethargic. Several veterinarian offices we called had no available, immediate appointments, and on recommendation from friends, our call secured a same day visit. This free standing clinic, off the corner of Babcock and Prue, offers parking aplenty. Registration is left, with "pet patient" waiting right of entry. There is a specific cat waiting area, with bench seating, and waist high walls providing a more comfortable separation from canine patients. A rather thoughtful accommodation. The clinic is spotless, quiet,... and frankly, absent the smell of four legged patients. The registration staff are professional, efficient, and pleasant throughout. The gestalt of the experience thus far is of a well organized, welcoming office suggesting commitment to very professional service. We were almost immediately ushered into an exam room, welcomed by an assistant, that entered Luna's chief complaint and history into the computer medical record, then took her to a back room for vital measurements. This lady, was clearly experienced in handling cats with tender care. Enter Doctor Haynes, absorbing our history, deftly yet gently examining our ailing kitty, reviewing the lab results, and outlining a course of therapy. To make a long story short, with the consultation of Doctor Lane, a 24 hour stay for hydration and antibiotics, our kitty was returned to well being. Whew!!! Our Luna has a newly discovered congenital kidney issue, and with the counsel of Doctors Haynes and Lane, we have charted a course that optimizes her chance for an excellent quality of life. Yelpers, I recount our experience for very good reason. I have been a practicing physician for 40 years. I understand that a satisfying medical encounter lies not just with well trained providers with stellar credentials, with terrific bedside manner, but also with their support staff, from clerical professionals, to well trained assistants. All in an environment that is reassuring, designed to minimize the anxiety that might accompany a medical encounter. These are aspects that we all appreciate as patients. But when the "rubber meets the road", we want to be assured that our doctors are well trained, and competent for any medical challenge that our furry family members might present. Let me finish by saying that these good doctors, Doctor Haynes and the medical director of the clinic, Doctor Lane, are graduates of Texas A&M University School of Veterinary Medicine. This school of veterinary medicine is consistently among the top five in the nation for veterinary education. The quality implications of their credentials are self evident. We...Luna.. are now committed to their care. I hope this review is helpful for our Yelp community. Luna gives Babcock Hills....5 paws up!!!

But it didn't disappoint at all and turned out to be so much fun :D !! Understandably, these animal yoga events are generally less intense compared to non-animal themed yoga sessions. This yoga event was more of a beginner's level, with an emphasis on kittens and on encouraging people to adopt them :) ! We met some really cute kittens, including a cute tuxedo kitten named Beandip, who reminded us of our beloved family tuxedo cat when we were growing up :) ! We also met and bonded with some amazing and very friendly volunteers and class participants :) ! You can bring your own yoga mat (which I did) :) ! Or you can rent one for $5 a session (which is what my sister did since she didn't have her own) :) !

Very impressed with services at GNW AH. My initial contact with them consisted of emails asking…read morethem about their grooming services. Every response I received was friendly and full of helpful information. I managed to get the girls scheduled for the next time I was back in town with no issues whatsoever. Since they weren't already established patients at this point, I was asked for their shot records and other additional info. Everything was verified and we were good to go! Their groomer, Eleanor, did such an outstanding job on our girls. They were in desperate need of a bath and all the other additions that come along with it and she absolutely came through for us. In fact, we were so impressed by their customer service and the experience was very positive for us that we took our youngest fur baby back to get spayed and microchipped. She had her blood check done a couple of days before the surgery and the results came back via email clearing her so that she could move forward. She was dropped off first thing in the morning and IIRC, we received a follow up phone call telling us that everything went well, she was resting, and we could pick her up after 3pm. Unfortunately, she had to wear the cone of shame for 2 weeks but everything healed up nicely and she's back to her old self again. Highly recommend GNW AH!

Our female dog passed away after being told she had been breathing fine for over an hour post-surgery (and after she somehow pulled out her breathing tube despite "being monitored at all times" at Great Northwest). We were told to pick her up at closing time & at that point when seeing her in person it was very clear that our baby was not okay. In fact, the vet tech told us to go to the nearest and recommended emergency after care facility because if we went anywhere else further, our baby would likely "not make it." Dr. chandler continued to pretend that our baby was fine. Great Northwest assured us they had transferred records and the needed information to the urgent care facility so that they'd be ready to receive us. Upon arriving to the urgent care, they DID NOT have any of our information - delaying the intake process and start of urgent care for our baby. This facility is not equipped with urgent care or after hours care for a serious surgeries that are extremely high risk (we were never told this was a high risk procedure with a high likelihood of a fatal outcome and/or the need for overnight urgent care/monitoring. Our baby should have never been removed from oxygen and we should not have been given a dying dog where we had to unsafely rush her the urgent care facility during traffic hour. We never received a follow up phone call after asking to discuss the final outcome and notes from the urgent care doctor whom Dr. Chandler had been in contact. We were put through a very traumatic experience by Great Northwest Animal Hospital, Dr. Chandler.

This clinic used to be great but it sucks now…read more We used them when our first dog was ill and needed to be put to sleep. They were caring , professional, kind and didn't require any exam or proof that this was the right decision for our dog. Today we had an appointment scheduled to put down our second dog for a variety of reasons that had led us to that decision. I was able to make the appointment no problem. It was confirmed that this is what the appointment was for. When I got there the nurse was very understanding and kind. But the vet came in questioning why we were looking into euthanasia and then proceeded to tell me she couldn't recommend it because my reasoning wasn't good enough. She also spoke in a way that blamed me for my dogs condition. I am no fan of having to euthanize an animal but I originally chose this clinic because of their understanding and kindness. Now they just hire vets who want to tell you you're wrong and not doing well enough. And then try to force medication and other procedures on you. You lost a customer today. What a great disappointment

Dr. Mcilhaney was one of the most caring and qualified veterinarians that I have ever encountered. A wonderful, caring gentleman. But since he left, it is an entirely different clinic - staffed by a revolving door of part time vets, of dubious levels of commitment, and with various different rude, uncommitted office staff that come and go every few months or so. They have cut down on their office hours and sometimes don't even open at all when apparently they can't even get one of their part-time vets to come in to work. As far as I know, none of my family are dealing with this train wreck anymore. RIP for what used to be a very good veterinary clinic.
