Vet #10 & counting 2. Too many unqualified vets trained abroad (islands & East) 3. Poor craft of knowledge 4. Poor cust svc 5. Unsavory & less than mentally sound techs 6. Creepy vets These are just a few gd reasons why we travel so far. Our Darby Darling: We lost our paw princess Sat., 7am on 4/24/21 as she quietly fell asleep in death over nite. Windermere Vet #10: We went to our 10th Windermere vet 3 miles fm our hm. We decided to engage the Windermere vet, during the pandemic, for just such an emerg. Their Sat. hrs. were 8am-1230pm but it was dark bet. 8am-10am. We saw 6 cars at the annex bld, knocked on the glassdoor, a male waved for us to wait, turned sideways, cont. on his call, not mindful enough to call another staffer, & we waited til 10am. They kept us waiting fm 8am-10am. We were the only customer car in the lot & all lites were off. We finally called Countryside, left, & took the hr. drive down the 429 to I4. Countryside: We wiped our well groomed little girl, dressed her in her lovely yellow floral dress, laid her on her fuchsia ladybug blanket, rolled her yellow blankie under her head, & placed her in her cozy bed. We were rec'vd with compassion & Our Darby girl will recv an honorably rest fm her final journey.

I took my precious Bella there to go to Rainbow Bridge. They have this tech that has no clue what…read morehe is doing. He introduced himself as a nurse. He came in with this yellow stuff in a syringe and injected her in the spine. My poor Bella was terrified and suffered the last 10 minutes of her life. She was thrashing her head back and forth and trying to get us to help her. He came in several times while she was suffering and said this is how it goes for some dogs. I kept asking for the vet because this is not how it goes. My poor baby suffered so bad for the last 10 minutes of her life. When he came back in with the vet my poor suffering baby tried to get under my husband's legs but all she could do was move her head but he came over and pinned her head to the floor while the vet came in and killed her. My poor baby suffered so badly the last 10 minutes of her life because this guy who calls himself a nurse tortured her. He tortured her. He had his hands around her throat as he was pinning her head down. She was tortured to death instead of peacefully leaving this earth. If you want your pet last minutes of life to be tortured go there. The guy who thinks he is a nurse at a vet specializes in torturing your pet.

My Malinois can be temperamental and reactive at times so it puts my mind at ease that he's being well taken care of. Both my dogs seem to enjoy their time there and that means a lot to me.

Anyone who lets animals be treated like this should be ASHAMED of themselves!!! Anyway, she said, "I will never take my 4 kitties to Noah's Ark again. The first time: 1) Xandra said she'd text me about them and send photos. She sent nothing. I asked her about it when I picked them up and she said, "I was too busy." Period. 2) We went to get the cats and my babes were lying on the throws I brought in, which were soaked with what seemed like a mixture of pee and water, AND several feces were smeared on the throws. 3) I brought exactly how much food they would eat in 12 days with notes on how much to feed them. I got almost half of it back! My youngest, 3 years, felt super skinny when I picked him up. 4) The cats were each to get nail trims. Xandra said she could only do two. Get a helper, maybe? 5) I brought the kennel a bag of litter. They said to if I wanted the cats to have what they're used to. The bag lasts a week at home. The cats were boarded 12 days and I got about 2/3 of it back. 6) Xandra started to collect money even though I had paid in full when I dropped them off. Then she texted me a receipt (which included only 3 cats) for a lesser amount than I originally paid. (I got a receipt when I paid.) ... A fiasco from beginning to end. The cats came home traumatized and hungry." What a JOKE! HORRIBLE PEOPLE WASTING YOUR MONEY AND NOT ACTUALLY CARING FOR PETS!

Highly Recommend Huntress Pet Care!…read more I can't say enough great things about Breeanna at Huntress Pet Care! She was truly amazing with my whole crew -- my elderly dog Duke (11), Mia, my three cats, and even my African Grey Parrot (who can be a real jerk sometimes!). Even though she only stayed one evening and half a day, she made such a big impression. From our very first meet-and-greet, I knew my animals were in the right hands. Duke sat right next to her like he had known her forever. She sent pictures and videos the whole time, and one of my cats who usually hides from everyone actually came out and hung around her -- that has never happened before! I had a previous experience where I felt my animals were neglected, so I was nervous. Breeanna completely put my mind at ease. She is professional, dependable, and truly treats your pets like they're her own. You can't go wrong hiring her -- she is absolutely "The Great Pet Whisperer." @Huntress Pet Care has a gem in Breeanna!
