Todd is amazing with them - all we have to do is tell them they're going to see Todd and they immediately begin to bark, run to the truck, jump in and out and do the same sorts of things when we arrive. It's a bit of a drive for us but well worth it when we pick them up and they're still happy boys. We tried a couple of other kennels with our first two German Shepherds but they just didn't quite measure up - unless Todd closes down (please NO!), he'll continue seeing the Kole dogs on a regular basis. Thank you, Todd, for such an awesome safe place for all the fur babies you've kept over the years! L. Kole

Three of my dogs got bit by a snake....scary right...need I say more, lol, but I will. On Thursday…read morelate evening 5/12, three of my dogs came inside and we immediately noticed extreme swelling in their faces. They were only outside a short period of time, so I was able to narrow down a time frame and immediately gave them Benadryl. At NO point were they in ANY distress respiratory or otherwise. We stayed up all night monitoring them until we could get them to their vet in the morning. Here is where the story gets crazy. Two of my three dogs are patients at MainStreet Vet and one WAS a patient at JACKSON VETERINARY CLINIC (Jackson, Ga.). Long story but for now we will leave it at that. Anyway, I live about an hour away from MainStreet vet so myself and my daughter began the drive at 7 am with the two MainStreet vet patients to be there right at opening time, 8am. My husband was planning to take our third dog to her vet, JACKSON VETERINARY CLINIC, so we thought!! My husband called JACKSON VETERINARY CLINIC and spoke to Heather. Heather advised him he could not bring THEIR patient there as there was only one vet that day and he needed to take her to the emergency vet as they don't have anti-venom and he will be in surgery as soon as he comes in. (By the way, this was at 7:45 am when he called, and the ER vet closes at 8 am., the closest ER vet to us is about an hour away.) My husband called and let me know about this. I advised him I would try to get her in at MainStreet but she isn't a patient there and this is a walk in situation, however, if they could take her, we would just go ahead and transfer ALL of our dogs from there to MainStreet as JACKSON VETERINARY CLINIC clearly is not concerned with the welfare of animals MUCH LESS patients!!! Back to our travel to MainStreet Vet. As soon as the door was being unlocked, I was at the door speaking to Liz. I advised her of the snake bites and the issue with our other dog being a patient at JACKSON VETERINARY CLINIC and they were REFUSING to see her. Liz WITHOUT hesitation, said...BRING THEM IN NOW and we will see them ASAP! We have doctors that will/can definitely see them! Liz advised the only thing she needed was the vet records sent from JACKSON VETERINARY CLINIC and it would be NO ISSUE at all. I immediately called JACKSON VETERINARY CLINIC and transferred ALL records to MainStreet Vet as all my dogs were transferred that day to MainStreet. I spoke to Kaitlyn at JACKSON VETERINARY CLINIC, and she of course tried to change my mind and distort what my husband was told on the phone and asked if I wanted the office manager to call me. I advised her no one needed to call my phone as I will be making a compliant online publicly and privately emailing the veterinarians. This was a lot to say but the main thing is that I want people and the veterinarians that work at MainStreet Vet to know what SUPERIOR service and attention your staff gives each of the animals they come into contact with, oh yeh and their owners..lol. My three dogs who got bit by a snake were taken in immediately and treated with such compassion, care, love and attention that I am unable to even find words to express how that makes me feel as a pet parent. Specifically, Liz, Stormy, and another young front end lady (my apologies, cannot remember her name but she was Caucasian, blonde and such a great, friendly personality) all were amazing beyond words. I have never had an issue at MainStreet and trust me, my dogs are prone to being bad and accident prone...lol. The staff and vet(s) have always taken to time to take exceptional care each time I am there. It could be for routine shots or because a snake bit them...but either way it is CONSISTENT, AMAZING CARE every time. My hope is that people reading this take their animals to MainStreet Vet, Madison, Ga. as they are the epitome of quality care for your fur-family!!! And for the veterinarians of this practice, I suggest privately and publicly recognizing their staff to let them know just how awesome they are and what they do makes a difference!!!!

I was told that they were already booked up for Thanksgiving, which was right around the corner. However, I received a call that they had something open up, and to go online to fill out some paperwork. I also had to do a 'trial day' to see if my dog would be a good fit. This would be a paid visit, but after the trial day was over, my dog would be able to board there. The staff I met were friendly, and existing clients, very kind. After my dog's trial day, I was given something like a report card with notes about how he did that day. The owner assured me my dog was fine. I was told that his temperament, age, breed, etc., was well adjusted based on their standards. However, then I was also told that my dog needed a particular vaccination to be allowed to board there. The owner suggested a vet that would be at her kennel the next day or so, and would put me on the appointment list. I arrived at my vet appointment on time, but there was already a long line of people. When I told the vet technician that I had an appointment, they said there were no appointments. It was a first come, first serve basis vet clinic. Although it was an inconvenience, and misunderstanding, I waited patiently in the cold for almost 3 hours. My dog got his vaccine, and I paid the bill. I scheduled to leave my dog for a little over a week (9 days) on Thanksgiving week. On drop off day I was told that I had to pay for the entire visit up front, which I was unaware of, but still made the full payment. I remember the riotous choir of barking dogs in the kennel each time I drove onto the property, that I hoped would subside after I left. Yet the "Bark & Roll" greeted me each time whether I liked it or not. In hindsight, it is very strange behavior for dogs. In my experience, they usually quiet down and reach a calm stage at some point. Drop-off had gone well, and I received a couple of updates that my dog was doing well throughout the week. Unfortunately, the day before my dog's last day at the kennel, I was called and told that my micro bully puppy had bitten the owner's husband badly. Her husband was in pain, might need stitches, and she would send me pics of his hand so I could see the bite, which I never received. I apologized, respectfully, on behalf of my dog. My dog was just a year old at the time, socialized, had a stable home environment, understood basic commands, and had no history of aggression, or biting. I had never even seen my dog growl at another dog. So the whole situation was very confusing, upsetting, and unbelievable to me. Likewise, the call from the owner was also strange. It almost sounded like there was joy in her voice as she told me this bad news. There was no regretful or apologetic tone for not being able to handle my dog properly. Nor did she accept any responsibility as the human authority in the situation. I grew up with dogs and as an experienced dog owner, I know that you don't immediately blame the dog without investigating what the human in the situation was doing first. Many dog aggression issues stem from the humans that are taking care of them, the energy that those humans give out, and also the environments they keep them in. The owner went on to tell me that they kept my dog's kennel covered with a sheet as he barked at the other barking dogs and lunged at the door. I do not understand how this treatment should make a dog feel at ease in a new environment that now he cannot even see into. I believe covering his kennel might have made my dog feel more on edge, anxious and unsafe. Instead take him outside with other dogs, play/show him affection, and spend time with him to mitigate any possible aggression. I was grateful that I could get my dog the next day, the agreed upon last day of his boarding. I arrived at the kennel early that morning. The owner smiled inappropriately at me, and berated me about how bad my dog was, and how they "tried", whatever that meant. There was no concern for anyone else's well-being in her voice or attitude-it felt narcissistic. I quietly rebuked that shame, and condemnation; ignoring her cruel negativity. I glanced at her husband, with a mix of sadness, regret, and grief in his eyes. He put his head down slowly. It seemed as if he wanted to say something to me, but wasn't allowed to by some invisible force. I needed to apologize to him, get more of the story, but there was a tangible oppression that hung in the room. It said just get my dog, and flee that toxic, uninviting environment, and never look back. Maybe the barking dogs know something that we don't. As the kids say today, this place is sus! Stay far away!
