That means it is very hard to deal with at a Vet office. The owner met me one day and said, "Bring Otis in during your walk. We will give him treats and he can get familiar with our place. I did just that, and Otis started to take me to the front door so he could see his new friends (unbelievable) and get treats. This morning, I took Otis in for an actual visit with the Vet. A vet assistant was educated in these kinds of dogs. She educated me, gave me some sedatives for the next visit and explained that these small bullies are simply like this sometimes. Otis got a shot for the flu (I highly recommend) stool sample, heart and teeth checked. He also got a q-tip in the ear. I had to hold him tight, but it was fine. The staff showed calm professionalism. The facility is pristine, and the parking is plentiful. They have day care, VIP Day care and boarding. Amazing place and so nice for us. I highly recommend.

Both dogs had a vaccine resistant kennel cough and had not been treated for it, one dog had pneumonia. I chose this place because it had a veterinary clinic attached and was assured my pets would be seen if needed. This definitely was not the case. I spent 3X the amount I spent on boarding trying to save my dogs from what they caught at this facility. The vet at the emergency care mentioned the volume of animals at the facility was probably a contributing factor. Never again! Don't be fooled by this new and modern looking place.

We have had 3 and a half years experience with Red Dog Pet Sitting Services with CATS Gracie and…read moreRose. Five stars is tops here but our score would be 100 out of 100 if possible. Originally, the service was recommended via a Facebook connection. We had never used a professional service and had no idea what wonderful experiences awaited our two cats and us. My first interaction with Karl was on the phone seeking information. After he told me all about the service he started talking about a cat he had sat with before. He showed such care and concern about one of their " customers " it was comforting to hear. Little did I know that now this is how we have experienced this pet sitting service. There are two sitters who have come, Cynthia and Lauren. Cynthia has been the lead sitter and Lauren has been backup most of the time. Both have always done everything needed for routine cat care that included keeping a water fountain filled exactly as we asked. They both have sent photos and texts every day. This last visit that concluded a week ago (Christmas 2025) Rose wasn't eating like she usually did. Cynthia communicated about various things she tried to stimulate her appetite. There was nothing physically wrong with Rose but we all agreed that she might still be grieving the death of her dear littermate Gracie. Gracie died a year ago and the two had never spent one day apart. When Gracie died we let Cynthia and Lauren know. Cynthia had known Gracie the best and the longest. She provided several reassuring messages not just after Gracie died but other sweet messages along the way (not associated with visits). While this is a professional service, the service is personal. In addition to the pet care, they take in the mail including porch drop-offs - boxes and oversized envelopes. Here that means walking around the house and down a steep driveway into the area where the cats stay. All of this to say, the Red Dog Pet Sitting Services has been excellent. We would recommend them to anyone who has this need for their pets. (By the way, Rose did resume her routine eating habits.)

My 2.5-year-old boxer, Bruno, died less than 18 hours after I picked him up from Pet Paradise in…read moreHoover, Alabama. He boarded there from 03/24/26 to 03/29/26. During his stay I never received any call or notification that he was sick, nor did he receive any medical attention. When I arrived to pick him up, Bruno was extremely lethargic, did not have his normal gait, and breathing very rapidly. These were not normal behaviors for him. Additionally, he had a strong odor of urine coming from him. The attached photo shows his post boarding condition where he is visibly ill. While we were still at the facility, staff took his temperature at the front desk and told me it was normal, then saying he was just tired. Because his condition concerned me, I took him to an emergency veterinarian. The emergency vet recorded his temperature at 105.4°F, and we were then transferred to the veterinary hospital at Auburn University, where Bruno passed away. I had also signed up for the "Furever Connected" service for 03/28/26 (the day before pickup), which includes photos that accompany the report card. However, no photos were provided, though we were told we would not be charged for the service for that day of his stay. After Pet Paradise learned of Bruno's passing, local management reached out with their condolences and assured me they would retrain staff. The regional manager then contacted me and offered to pay the emergency veterinary bills if I would sign a release of claims. I declined to sign anything that would release my claims. Anyone considering boarding their pet here should research past incidents involving Pet Paradise resorts, including those reported in Pooler, Georgia in 2025. If you are considering boarding your dog here, I strongly recommend asking how they monitor dogs for signs of illness or injury and when a veterinarian is contacted. If I had known that information beforehand, I would never have brought Bruno to Pet Paradise.

This is a very personal review. I love my dog dearly. His name is Otis Redding. He is a French…read moreBull Dog that is three years old. Otis reactive which means, he gets really excited when he meets human's and other dogs. He is also very protective of my wife and I to whom he spends most of his time with. I have hired several trainers and behaviorists to help us with Otis. Let me be clear, Otis is the best dog we have ever had 95% of the time. It is the other 5% that we want to improve. I also wanted Otis to have a place to be boarded so my family can go on a cruise next year. That is the foundation of my needs and story. I purchased a package for Otis at Creative Dog Training for 20 days of "Interactive Dog Day Care". In addition, I hired them for for sessions of dog training with my wife and I. Please remember, this is not my first rodeo on dog training. Otis has gone for close to 20 visits, Monday through Friday every week. He has made both human and dog friends. Some days, the owner of "Creative Dog Training" sends me a short video on Otis progress. Other days, Otis gets kind of a report card of how he is doing. Brining him from Down Town Birmingham to the Summit area every day has been no fun at all. I choose to do it because it was the only way I could give Otis a deep dose of acclimating him to everyone. Today we did our first session with the owner/trainer. Once Otis walks in the door of CDT, he a zero issues with other dogs and is open to new human friends. The training session is about 1/2 and gave my wife and me so very easy hints on working with my dog at home. CDT is not cheap however anything in life that is worth having has a cost to it. I know have a place to board my dog and a better dog at home. We still have huge improvement needed. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Hope this helps anyone who reads this review.

Prior to my visit here , I downloaded their app. Unfortunately, appts can't be scheduled on the app and payments aren't accepted either.
