Pet Owners Beware: Multiple Misdiagnoses from Dr. Kat Gray…read more I'm writing this review as a serious warning to fellow pet owners: over the years, I've personally witnessed three separate misdiagnoses from Dr. Kat Gray at Agape Animal Hospital, one of which led directly to the death of a beloved dog. The most recent case involved my dear friend's dog, who suddenly began acting strangely. Despite my warnings, she went to Agape. Dr. Gray diagnosed a tick-borne illness, ran some blood work, gave fluids and a pain shot, and sent them home. She attributed the behavior to eating grass and being "stressed" from seeing luggage. The dog briefly improved, but then declined. On the second visit, they received another pain shot and an inconclusive ultrasound. At one point, Dr. Gray actually suggested the dog might have eaten mushrooms and was "having a bad trip." Finally, my friend went to another vet who correctly diagnosed intervertebral disc disease. The dog needed surgery. A correct diagnosis earlier would've spared her a great deal of pain. Sadly, this was not a one-off. Years earlier, my own hound was lethargic and off. Dr. Gray again blamed a tick-borne illness. Something didn't sit right with me, so we went for a second opinion. That vet discovered a grapefruit-sized tumor on his spleen that needed immediate surgery. We were told if we'd waited even another day, it could have ruptured and killed him. And tragically, a friend of mine lost her dog after being told, by Dr. Gray, that the dog was just overweight. I voiced my concern that the dog's abdomen looked swollen, not fat. Not long after, the dog passed away. It was a tumor. It had ruptured. It was preventable. I understand that no vet is perfect, and diagnoses can be complex. But three separate major misdiagnoses, two of them potentially fatal, one resulting in death is not something I can overlook. If you love your pet, please think twice before trusting Dr. Kat Gray with their care.

They are kind and attentive. The vets are very knowledgeable and caring. Wonderful facility.read more

We struggled doing it on our own at home because our pup would try to wrestle away as soon as the needle was in place. After a few weeks of trying to get fluids in and not being very successful, we found Natasha's company Sit Stay VA, and are so grateful that we did! She was able to help give our dog fluids easily at home, and she was always so responsive, professional, kind, and compassionate - just a complete gem of a person. It's always tough having a sick pet, but working with her was a comfort for us all the whole way through. Thank you, Natasha, for all your help and care!

They could've had us go into the mobile unit but we were unsure of what would work best. They didn't flinch to come into our home. For an extended period of time they let us ask all the questions, met all of the fur members of our family and made our pets feel very comfortable. Removing the transporting of our babies to a vet really reduced anxiety not just for them but for us too. I am very grateful for the time, information and kindness jennifer and Dr Grams (hope I have this right) showed us and our pets. Highly recommend.

They are efficient, thorough, and so helpful. They are able to take a quick glance at other pets in the home and offer quick tidbits of advice even if the appointment isn't for them. They truly care and love all of our (four!) pets! The extra love and snuggles after the appointment really show you why they're in this profession--they love pets and want to help make your pets lives less stressful!

At some point the fateful day arrived, and I knew it was time for Seamus. Clearly the pain of the cancer was overwhelming his pain medication. A friend had recommended House Paws for at-home euthanasia. Given my cat's intense dislike of the vet, I figured that putting him to sleep at home would allow him to go with some dignity and comfort. Dr. Knode and her assistant arrived and quickly and professionally put him to sleep. Afterwards, they kindly gave me some quiet time to say good bye to my ole buddy, which I greatly appreciated. I heartily recommend their services.

Highly recommend. I was a little worried that a mobile vet would come with a tremendous cost but we spent less on mobile vet care here in Loudoun than we did for in person high stress care in Annandale/Springfield.

Archie went to camp with Gina for three weeks and came home a different dog. I'm still a little…read moreamazed. He's a five-pound chihuahua who shakes when someone new walks in the room and basically lived on my lap or behind my knees. I'd worried a trainer would either give up on him or scare him worse, but from the very first day Gina put so much thought into making him feel safe. She texted that afternoon to say he'd already jumped into her daughter's arms. When he barely ate the first couple days and I got worried, she talked me through it and told me he'd come around, which he did. She took him on long walks around the park and the neighborhood to burn off his nerves before she ever asked anything of him. His crate became his safe spot at her house, a familiar place that was all his in the middle of a busy home with other dogs and parrots and training going on. And she started him on tiny, predictable rules, sitting before a door, coming when called, so he always had something he understood to hold onto in a new situation. She explained that for an anxious dog, knowing what to expect is half the battle. She also refused to pick him up every time he got scared, and warned me that part would be harder for me than for him. She was right. Somewhere around the second week he started smiling in the photos. He was hanging out with her little dogs and her family, going on field trips to the park and coffee shops, staying on his place while she walked away, heeling next to her. He knows sit, place, heel and here now, and he does them for me too. The turnover at my apartment took a couple hours and it was real work. She sat me down and explained everything before we ever touched the dog, then had me practice with Archie while she corrected what I was doing wrong. She's kept sending reminders and answering my questions since, including a few dumb ones about shampoo and brushes. Here's the part I still can't get over. We went to a party a couple weeks after he got home, which is a huge deal for Archie. He sat on other people's laps. He licked hands. He barely cowered. Six weeks ago he would have spent the whole night shaking under my chair. Everyone at the party noticed and commented on the change in his demeanor. I was a proud mama that day! If your dog is the anxious type, the one who hides, trembles, won't eat around strangers, or has to be carried everywhere, I really want you to hear this. A lot of trainers are set up for big confident dogs and don't know what to do with a scared little one. Gina does. She never rushed him, never forced him, and never made me feel silly for babying him all these years. She reads a nervous dog and meets them where they are, then slowly builds them up until they can handle the world on their own. That's exactly what Archie needed. I honestly feel like Gina is just getting started with him, and I'm already thinking of when I can work with her again. If you have a tiny, anxious dog and you're on the fence, go with Gina. Archie is a different dog and so am I. Thank you again for everything you did for him, and for me. Archie sends smooches. Sheri

I can't say enough good things about Brandi and Perry Bailey of RSK9. Their work has given my pup…read moreand I so much freedom and balance. Pebbles (blue heeler, 1.5 years old) would never listen to me, would not sit or lay still, and had a lot of other obedience issues that caused her to be stressed or confused. She was a TOUGH dog to train and I was concerned I couldn't find the solution for her to get basic concepts. This view has completely changed since working with RSK9's 3 week program. I would HIGHLY recommend them and their methods - you can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and it's made a huge difference in giving my dog the chance to find real rest at home. They send DAILY updates with photos and videos which was so nice. This isn't a regular class or something you just pay for; it's truly an investment that you and your dog will be using for the time you get to share together. Side note: it's worth doing 3 weeks versus 2 weeks. At the 2 week mark is when Pebbles really started to understand her marks and cues. From here there is so much more that can be refined and Brandi/Perry really capitalize on that threshold being crossed!
