It looks like some people have had a good experience here. Unfortunately, I got stuck with a…read moredifferent groomer and did NOT have a good experience at all. As a result, we ended up at the vet. I took my two dogs there for their first visit (we're from out of town) and I had an uncomfortable feeling when we first arrived. There was one lady behind the counter that was grooming a brown and white dog. She was yanking and yelling at him "to quit being a big baby" as the poor dog continued to yelp. I should have left after seeing that but I didn't because I thought the other groomers there made me feel OK. I came back two hours later for pick up and the owner immediately told me there had been an accident. The lady had cut off one of my dogs pads and wouldn't stop bleeding!!! And then I noticed she had blood all over her mouth and which we figured out she cut her tongue too! The lady who did it never apologized, but instead she used every excuse possible. On top of that it was such a terrible hack job everywhere else. When we got home, I found other cuts on her chest and legs. She should considering use the noose to keep the dog in place. Both dogs get groomed every 6-8 weeks and have never had anything like this ever happen before. Although the owner apologized and waived the both grooms, I would never go back here. I ended up taking my dog immediately to the vet and they wrapped her up and gave her antibiotics. The owner offered for her groomer to pay the vet bill, but not worth the hassle dealing with it. Like the other 1 star reviews for this place, I am sure I will get a brash comment in response to this post. If you're taking your dog there, just be cautious on who you get as your groomer. So glad I got there before their nails were trimmed!

There is one female (don't know the name) that always sounds so annoyed when she picks up the phone...like the caller is inconveniencing her...and it made me not want to go back, but Dr Hitzeman was good so I did (mistake!) Second visit Dr Thomas Hitzeman was in surgery, so I got Dr Robert Hargarten. I have never had such an awful, uncompassionate, rude vet experience in all my life! I had a cat with me. Dr Robert Hargarten walked in with 2 big dogs...didn't say who he was or who these dogs were...didn't care if I am scared of dogs (I was attacked by a German shepherd so bad that it sent me to the ER after it tore up and scarred my arm for life)...doesn't care that my cat was now more terrified in that exam room...HOW RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL! I asked for another vet, but he was the only option. He then proceeded TO PULL MY CAT OUT OF THE CRATE BY HER TAIL! Who would do that??? He later grabbed her by the scruff on her neck and jabbed a needle into her. She fell back into the crate, was wobbly, and cowered from me for the first time. I asked what he gave her and he said it was just an antibiotic. I asked why she was acting wobbly and hurt, and he said it stings. I again pressed on that she was now acting really strange and he said the shot wouldn't do that. When I got home, my cat was wobbly, limping, and personality had changed. Well it is 3 days later and I STILL have a limping, hurt cat. I am so sad and angry at myself that I didn't do better homework before coming here. Brought my cat in friendly, sweet, purring, and walking fine, but came back out with a cat that is limping and shows s/s of pain. Please don't make the same mistake I did - go elsewhere!

The employee mentioned I could not get the discount because they will not sell me the fish until the next day because they had to come and test the pH balance in the water before allowing any fish in my fish tank! I explained are you serious? They had no joke on their face and they were absolutely serious. I was a little upset, so yes, I agree that I argue with them for a good five minutes. I even showed up a Google picture explaining that was not true. This employee explained their company required this so I left the facility with only the fish tank and filter with accessories. When I arrived home, I put the water in with the filtration and tested the water to make sure it was all ready for fish. Everything passed the next day after searching for other information about the fish being in my water less than 24 hours which proved they were very incorrect. The ladies were still there and I still had animosity because I couldn't get my sale and they were very immature how they spoke to me. I'm not selling you. I'm at 100% perfect lady, but I know how to treat people with respect being that Chow Hound the only place in town I can get fish for my grandson for his birthday. I continue to get the fish, but I tell you one thing right now I will never! Ever! Purchase or spend one more dime at my cost at this Chow Hound company anywhere in the world and with the Grooming I was very unsatisfied. My dog was noticeably untouched with grooming, clippers her hair was still very damp, and her cause her nails were the exact same to be have gotten overcharged basically doubled what I pay now at this other groomers I should have never wasted my time going to Chow Hound's and I recommend nobody ever goes there unless employment changes hands. Groomers need to be up to par and at least know what they are doing before trying to over charge. I was so correct on this issue. I was called and set a free appointment to have him groomed for free, which still does not help. Pet owners beware. I will only write one star because there is no option for no stars.

Hi everyone! I'd like to take a moment to talk to you about Ragdoll Love, aka Classic City Rags,…read moreaka Travis and Charity Slone of Auburn, IN. They've blocked me on Facebook otherwise I'd link their Facebook page for your own hate mail. Our 4 year old Ragdoll named Aja is currently dying of cancer. We have run every test in the book from FeLV, FIV, FIP, Toxoplasmosis, and beyond. But due to this breeder's poor practices, turns out that she was genetically predisposed to cancer. And before anyone says it's a one off, this is the 3rd cat I know of from this breeder suffering the same fate. So, if you or anyone you care about is looking to adopt one of these sweet cats, STAY AWAY. We are now thousands of dollars in the hole in vet bills, and facing the reality of having to put our precious kitty to sleep. And if you have time, please leave these cowards a mean comment and warn other pet parents. They blocked me after just two so I'm sure the spam would help spread the word.

If you are looking to adopt a Ragdoll Kitten in Indiana do not work with Classic City Rags (aka…read moreRagdoll Love on Facebook) (aka: Travis and Charity Slone) who live in Auburn Indiana and do business from Fort Wayne, Indiana. They have unethical business practices do not care for nor vaccinate their kittens. On 4/14/2020 I was contacted by Classic City Rags (aka Ragdoll Love on Facebook) about a new litter of kittens after being put on a waitlist. On 4/16/2020 I received a verbal contract from this breeder stating the cost of deposit to reserve the kitten as well as assurance of the following: TICA registration, vet/immunization paperwork that included both sets of shots and deworming. I paid a $200 deposit on 4/16/2020 via pay pal. We corresponded dozens of times via Facebook between paying the deposit and picking up the kitten. Picture of the kitten were provided to us during that time. For the day of pick up, they stated they wanted to pick up in a neutral location as they didn't want strangers coming into their home potentially exposing their children to Covid. We agreed to met for pick up at Rural King in Fort Wayne, IN. Upon pick up I was handed a blue TICA registration form with the handwritten comment on the back of the form stating "Strongid T-Dewormer, 1st Booster Shot Given." At that time I asked for the actual vet/immunization record and was assured she would send to me. Once we got the kitten home we realized he was ill, took him to the vet the following day, kitten had a viral/bacterial infection as well as a severe eye infection in both eyes and also had to be tested for Feline Leukemia. He was put on several antibiotics and was also underweight. This cost was additional $240 out of pocket and at that time my vet stated she would have to start the vaccine regimen all over again if records were not produced. On 6/22/2020 and 6/23/2020 I contacted them again asking for records and letting them know the kitten had been to the vet and I needed the records for his care. They stated they were shocked the kitten was sick and had noted an eye infection only (something they did not divulge at time of pick up). They also stated "they would see if they could get a picture to me of the vet records by the next day. The next day, records were not received, I again contacted them asking for the name of the vet who vaccinated the kitten and that my vet would call them and ask for the records to be sent. They stated "I'm trying to get out of work to make that time frame for you to get the records." On 6/26/2020 I contacted them again stating my concerns that they have not responded to my request to produce the vet record of the kittens immunizations and my disappointment that they would care for an animal this way, as well as outlining their breech in the contract. They stated they didn't see how the kitten's vet bills were $240, and that they had never had a sick kitten before. They stated again they would get me the vet/immunization records by the next day. To this day, I have not been provided the vet records and they now have not responded to my last message asking for the records. It's apparent that they do not care for the kittens they are breeding, nor will they live up to their end of the contract. I have given them ample time to make this right, and instead I was met with silence on their part. Do yourself a favor and drive out of state if you must to find a legitimate Ragdoll Breeder. Also the breeder does not have a website and does all business via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/classiccityragdolls.
