It's never easy leaving your pet, but I have peace of mind when she goes to Cottonwood. I had a great dog, but not a great listener. When work took me out of town for a few weeks I figured this was the perfect opportunity for her to partake in the board and train program, and boy was it worth it. Now I have a great dog who is a GREAT listener. I cannot say thank you enough to the staff at Cottonowood for how they love on my girl while I'm gone!

Dr. Leslie and Dr. Turner are both eloquent, lovely and helpful when discussing our pups. I would give them 5 stars, but WOW is it expensive to see them.

I do appreciate them talking about costs with me as we go, but I'm always leaving there having spent more money than expected. That said, you get what you pay for. Overall, so happy with this team and always feel like my dogs are taken care of.

My concern is with the communication and clinical decision-making process. As a healthcare professional myself, I value understanding the assessment, differential diagnosis, and the reasoning behind recommendations. I repeatedly felt that recommendations were presented without sufficient explanation of why a particular test or treatment was the best next step or how the results would change management. Veterinary medicine has become very expensive, and I understand that diagnostics are important. However, clients also deserve a discussion about priorities, expected benefit, and reasonable alternatives based on both the clinical picture and their budget. That conversation was largely missing for us. For example, after my dog's initial workup, I would have appreciated a discussion of why the next recommended step was abdominal imaging versus endocrine testing, and how each option would affect treatment decisions. Instead, I often felt I was trying to piece together the clinical reasoning myself. I don't expect inexpensive veterinary care, and I'm willing to invest in appropriate diagnostics. What I hope for is a collaborative approach where the veterinarian explains the assessment, discusses options, and helps owners make informed decisions rather than simply presenting expensive recommendations. I think this is a capable practice, but communication and shared decision-making are areas where the client experience could be significantly improved.
