I am so very impressed with our local Humane Society. In a pandemic, they have everything arranged…read morequite well, so that you can help your pet while being safe. This review is for a spay appointment we had in January, 2021. What a way to start the new year! First, the new building! It looks so beautiful from the outside. Clean, well-designed, and you can tell that it is them from the enormous dog statue inside! :) For pandemic spay appointments, you call in and reserve a spot on the calendar when they open the schedule for new bookings. I had to wait over an hour on the phone, but that is because they were closed for almost 2 months, I believe, because of the move. The phone staff were incredibly patient and kind. We drove up on the day of Rosencrantz's appointment, as directed. We waited in line while staff went car to car and ascertained who we were, and put an identifier on our car under the windshield wiper. We filled out the paperwork. Note: Everyone must be masked, and the cat had to be in a hard-sided carrier, per their emailed instructions. The staff members were masked and I felt safe in conversing with them. Then your car gets to the front of the line, and you hand over the carrier. Poor Rosencrantz was so unsure of what was going on! But I digress. At 4-4:30, you drive back and wait in line to pick up your pet. When we were able to get R, the staff member delivering her was very kind and patient with his time, while we asked questions and he gave specific directions. One thing that would have been good to put on the original directions is to quarantine them to a small room for a while, once you get home, and to have fresh litter. Upon reflection, that makes TOTAL sense, but sometimes we don't think ahead. The price was SO reasonable: $40 for a spay, and $20 for 2 vaccines. That price is much appreciated. It is able to be so low because of grants and other funding (thank you!). In all of our interactions with staff, everyone was SO kind and caring. I never felt rushed or had an unanswered question. Highly recommended!

Had an appointment to take my dog to get spayed since it's half the cost of a vets office. When you…read moreget there you have to go in sans dog to check in. I didn't think the people in the parking lot waiting for the place to open were very polite. I was the 2nd car in the lot but other people ran in front of me to check in so I became #4 (not the fault of the Humane Society!). After you check in you go get your dog, but you have to wait until the person in front of you has checked their dog in before you go. Which was kind of a problem in the freezing cold. Especially since I didn't want to lose my spot again to everyone else that was jumpy! My dog was fine after the surgery. She was drugged up so very lethargic but overall everything with the surgery went well. The staff was very nice and friendly. They were talking to the dogs and the people. I wish they would just have a better system to drop off that could be less of a run for it method!

And they know how to handle each situation and make me feel comfortable and calm. The vet techs are absolutely amazing and know just how to properly handle my babies. I recently took my 4 year old Pitty Luna to have her ears checked out, DURING all this Covid-19 quarantine stuff. They handled themselves VERY well. The set up was smart and efficient. They took care of my baby even though I couldn't go back with her, which made her super scared and anxious. I was expecting a big... HUGE bill, her ears I already suspected were infected, she was in pain. I can't believe I paid under $200 for ear cleaning, 2 months of nexguard, sick visit and ear meds!? SO happy!! She came out with CLEAN ears, on meds and the doctor and tech throughly explained everything and answered ALL of my overwhelming questions lol I wholeheartedly recommend this vet clinic! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my fur babies

Dr. Martin assessed my dog to see if she could do entropion surgery and said she could do it…read morealthough it would be challenging. She said it may need some "tweaking" afterwards if enough wasn't removed but she would rather do that than take off too much skin. The cost was about $2000. After my dog healed from the surgery, it was like nothing had been done and he still suffers from the same problems with his eyes. When I called her to ask that she perform a revision, she refused to help me in any way, was extremely rude, said I was untrustworthy, and refused to refund my money. I've never encountered anything like this. I'm just out of $2000 and will now have to come up with more money to take him elsewhere. I would never recommend this clinic to anyone!!! She is the one that is untrustworthy, extremely unprofessional and is obviously out to take people's money.

Our cat, Remy has always been a self-sufficient house cat. Recently his health has declined and…read moreneeds a special diet and supervision. Rather than cancel our trip over the 4th of July, my wife and I called Dog Days Kalamazoo. Michael was attentive to Remy's needs. He left a log of every visit. Made notes of anything that may be usual. Michael even took extra steps such as bringing in the mail and taking out the trash. Every day we got a text with a picture of Remy from Michael. Those picture texts help relieve any anxiety we had about leaving Remy. We saw pictures of Remy eating (our biggest concern), and looking happy in general. All of this service for the same cost as I would expect anyone to to tip a neighbor or friend for less work. Dog Days Kalamazoo is insured and bonded. We had Michael keep our key because we will be using him again.

We've used his services 5+ times in the past and expect to utilize his services often moving forward into the future. I am 100% confident in Michael and the services he is able to provide, and I trust him implicitly with the safety, security, and well-being of both our home and our pet. Michael is extremely responsible and diligent, he takes his duties very seriously and always conducts those duties and himself in a highly professional manner. I have and will continue to endorse & recommend Michael to anyone who is looking for the types of services that he is able to provide.

I was confident that my dog would look great. Unfortunately, when I picked him up, I didn't complain about his appearance. She did tell me if there was anything more I wanted done to tell her. There is nothing she could have done to make him look better. He is an elderly Maltese and I keep his hair long. I asked that he have his tummy trimmed, not to cut any hair off the ears. I also explained he gets food in the hair. Had asked for a clean shaven face. She suggested a poodle cut. I thought she meant for the face only. It looks like she attempted a poodle cut on the legs as well. He looks like my 7 year old granddaughter groomed him. I will not recommend this salon based on Teddy's appearance after he was groomed. I supposed if you have a dog that doesn't require specialized grooming, they would be fine. Definitely not for a Maltese based on my experience. When I'm in AZ on vacation, I will be going to the groomer I've used and would highly recommend. Teddy always came out looking like a show dog. Kathy LaPose

We've had a couple dogs groomed by Geddes Groomed and have been very happy with the results. One is…read morea poodle mix named Scooby, who refused to let another groomer come anywhere near him. The ladies at Geddes did a fine job handling him. Our other dog is a golden retriever named Gabe who I wanted to have groomed for bird hunting season, basically just taking off his burr-attracting feathering on his legs, belly and tail, and of course a toenail trim. I could not have been happier with the result. Although the groomer had not ever done this, she used resources that showed her a gun dog "sport cut," and nailed it. He looked great. She even pointed out a small yeast infection the old fellow had going on his chest and suggested how to get rid of it with cider vinegar. It worked! Am taking Gabe back for what might be his last bird hunting season as he's close to 11 years old now. He might be slower than he used to be in the woods, but he'll be looking better than ever.
