We particularly appreciated the lab work being done in the exam room to help calm our big anxious golden retriever. The follow up phone calls were great to keep us in the loop for results.

I say with certainty after bringing Lulu here as a patient for checkups and diagnosing a serious health condition; after boarding her for multiple staycations (about 4 weeks in total); and after finally bringing her here to cross the Rainbow Bridge when it was time. She took a sharp downward turn, I made the decision and the staff was there for her, and for me. From the check-in at the front desk to Dr. Burke and his nurse we were treated with care, kindness and empathy. My sweet girl crossed gently. with dignity, and throughout the entire visit I also was treated kindly and thoughtfully. A handwritten condolence card arrived a few days later, acknowledging my loss, which still makes me tear up every time I look at it. When I'm ready - I don't know when that will be, but when I'm ready - my next best friend will be treated here too.

They will only band-aid remedy a problem and make no effort to SOLVE the problem. Here is my experience: Yellow lab, diarrhea for a week and started vomiting, progressed to having poop accidents in the house and vomiting even when she hadn't ingested anything, which eventually resulted in blood in her vomit. During this progression I was out of town on a business trip and had to fly back and take her to urgent care. Urgent care just pumped her with IV fluids and gave her anti-nausea medication. I provided fecal and bile and they just said "we dont do that here". But, they do X-rays though, thats a good chunk. $750 for xray, fluids, prescription, and no actual resolution. They just straight band-aid the problem and send you on your way with nothing. I asked them "Why aren't you prescribing antibiotics?" They said "We don't see anything that would suggest she needs it." I was absolutely dumbfounded. Moving on 1.5 weeks later after doing everything they suggested, pills and blande diet, she is right back to where she started. We called them back and asked for a refill of the anti-nausea prescription and they're telling us "No, you have to bring her back in." Everything about this place screams money grab. DO NOT GO HERE. TAKE YOUR PET UP THE STREET TO WILLARD VET. Its a little more expensive but they get the job done, get it done right, and get it done the first time.

    We were repeat customers of Shipyard Dog. Before our young dog, we entrusted our elderly dog to the…read morefacility for daycare and boarding for several months before she passed away. We returned because we had previously had a positive experience. We appreciated the cleanliness of the facility, the convenience of the online reservation system, and, most importantly, we trusted them with our pets. Our young dog began attending at approximately four months of age, and for several months everything went well. This spring, we were told he had been "humpy and displaying dominance" during a previously scheduled boarding over school vacation. We immediately followed Shipyard's recommendation upon returning by temporarily removing him from daycare, having him neutered as soon as possible, observing the recommended recovery period, and even offering to pursue additional training if needed. After doing exactly what was asked, Shipyard accepted additional boarding reservations, giving us every reason to believe he remained an appropriate candidate for their program and that any concerns had been adequately addressed. While returning home from a recent trip, we received another message stating that our dog had "incited an altercation" and now needed to be removed from the facility for several months. This meant coming home and unexpectedly needing to start over in finding future boarding after relying on Shipyard Dog for our travel needs, which had recently increased due to a death in our family. After reviewing the 13-second video provided, I was left with more questions than answers. The footage did not clearly demonstrate to me that our dog was solely to blame for the altercation, nor was I given any objective explanation regarding the specific behaviors that led to that conclusion or what "improvement" would actually look like for him to return. From the video, our dog appeared increasingly overstimulated. He was open-mouth panting, sat down while several dogs continued to approach him, and rather than the interaction de-escalating, additional dogs continued to converge around him until a fifth dog approached him directly face-to-face, at which point he reacted. I was also surprised that there appeared to be no consideration of simply removing him from the playgroup or modifying his boarding experience, particularly given that he had been recently neutered, before deciding to dismiss him from the program for a "few months." The video also showed two playgroup monitors nearby before the interaction escalated. What ultimately led us to make other arrangements was the complete breakdown in communication. At no point were we told that our dog's place, even as a boarding customer, was in jeopardy despite accepting four future boarding reservations throughout the summer. When I raised concerns about how this was handled, I received no response. When you board your dog, you should be able to travel, even under difficult family circumstances, knowing your pet's needs are being thoughtfully managed. Instead, we were left worrying about unexpected behavior messages while traveling and scrambling to find new boarding arrangements afterward. I recognize that every facility has the right to determine which dogs are the best fit for its program. My purpose in sharing this review is not to dispute that right, but to help other owners understand our experience. I encourage readers to draw their own conclusions. If you rely on a boarding facility for travel, I encourage you to ask detailed questions about how behavioral concerns are managed, how much communication you can expect if concerns arise, and what alternatives are considered before a dog is removed from the program. Those answers may ultimately determine whether a facility is the right fit for your family.

    Two words - stay away. It used to be a great "cats only" vet practice with wonderful caring vets…read more.. that was before they became a for-profit organization. After a horrific visit a year back, we are not going back. My tiny 7 lbs shy Cornish Rex handled with thick autoclave bite-proof gloves, failure to get blood draw - 3 pricks, charging for the urine test that was not performed, general attitude from the receptionist - on the phone, trying to upsell some diet food, ignoring the customer waiting to check in, the vet (Jessica) looked like she did not even like cats, do I need to continue? Really, just find a local non-incorporated vet (dogs and cats are OK) - you would get a better service, the attention to the cat and her humans, and better price! That's what I did.

They were incredible years ago with my first cat, and now they've been even more amazing with JohnnyCat -- a stray who quickly became my king! When he developed an unexpected cyst, WLCC handled it immediately and with such compassion. Later, when he was diagnosed with asthma, they treated him as if he were their own. The team patiently walked me through how to use an inhaler on a cat -- something that was pretty nerve-wracking at first -- but their kindness and calm guidance made the whole process so much easier. Everyone at WLCC, from the doctors to the techs and front desk staff, is knowledgeable, caring, and genuinely devoted to every cat who comes through their doors. I can't recommend WLCC highly enough for anyone looking for a truly special place to care for their beloved furbabies.

    I'm disappointed with my experience with Dr. Tomas and the care my dog received. Almost a year ago,…read moremy dog underwent a TTT for a luxating patella. The surgery was unsuccessful, as her patella continued to luxate constantly afterward. Now, 10 months later, she has also torn her CCL in the same leg and will require another major orthopedic surgery. Initially, I did not blame Dr. Tomas, as I understood that orthopedic procedures (especially in a very small dog) carry risks. However, after seeking a second opinion from a board-certified veterinary orthopedic surgeon, I was told that my dog needs a patellar revision because her trochlear groove was not deepened during the original surgery. What is particularly frustrating is that Dr. Tomas specifically told me that the groove did not need to be deepened. I am now being told by another orthopedic surgeon that it does need to be addressed and is contributing to her continued luxation. She will also require a TPLO/lateral suture procedure for her CCL. I spent over $5,000 on the original surgery specifically to correct this problem, and I am now facing another costly surgery because the patellar luxation was not successfully corrected. The postoperative care was also extremely disappointing. When my dog experienced complications, Dr. Tomas was unreachable for weeks, and no one else on staff adequately assisted us. I understand that surgery is never guaranteed to be successful, but I expected appropriate follow-up and communication when complications arose. After everything my dog and I have been through, I am incredibly disappointed with the outcome and the lack of support we received. Lesson learned- always get different opinions. Do not move forward with the first surgeon you meet.
