Where is the "BETTER THAN IT GETS" 6-Yelp Star Button?…read more As far as my pups go - They are priority number one when I leave town. Since I have no kids, my dogs are my "kids". They go to work with me. They sit on the sofa and read with me. They like to watch Animal Planet with me. And they sleep with me. I would much rather pay someone the cost of a hotel night's stay to come hang with my babies when I'm away (ALERT all you hungry dog sitters! I'm a SUCKER) than take them to the vet - so when I plan a trip, I factor in 2x the hotel cost just so my fur babies can sleep in my bed. On my recent trip to Turkey, however, the thought of being out of the country, a 14 hour plane trip away, for two weeks, and with not much access to the Homeland made me think twice about having a pet sitter come to the house. What if my dogs escaped the backyard? What if the pet sitter didn't lock the doors when she left? (Cash can open doors, let himself in, grab a beer from the fridge and chill like Ice Cube on the sofa - no lie) What if something happened to them, medically, and I wasn't here? All that made me search for the best place to leave them for the 13 days I was gone. I came up with World Class Kennels in Harpersville, and I couldn't have made a better decision. I live OTMx2 (don't laugh you In Towners! You don't need a passport to get to my hood!), and World Class Kennels is a bit further down 280 - but this place is pretty. Lots of room to roam - and if you're a dog, especially one who was bred to chase lions in South Africa, that's a "good thing". Their kennels are spacious and private - they have concrete walls so all the dogs are not barking back and forth at each other. Each of the kennels has a little cot and blankets (we brought our own bed and woobies - they were in 7th heaven!) They have automatic watering devices - so there's no thirsty-ness going on. We opted for the indoor-outdoor version, which has a little door to the outside yard that they can come in and out of at will. Cash warmed right up to that idea as soon as he got there - in and out and in and out and in and out. They also get to play three times a day in the big yards - they have three separate yards, in case your pup doesn't play well with others. AND - they even have themed rooms (UA and AU, Sylvester and Tweety, Pippi Longstocking), with little beds and stuff in case you have one of those fluffy frou-frou fur babies. All the amenities are wonderful. And the fact that they have choices for play time is great, but when it comes to the lil ones, pet care is important to me. My Beagle has an ear infection (another reason I was hesitant to leave her with someone at the casa). She apparently had quite a flare up while I was away. Sharon Kidd, the owner, called my vet and had meds sent over, and administered them. Since we didn't leave food (my babies aren't picky eaters), she thought that maybe a change in Sunni's diet might help, so she changed her diet, and since it worked, she sent some of her new food home with a note and the name of the local Seed & Feed of where to find it (McEwen's - but that's another review!). She took the time to care about my dogs. When we have to leave them for a weekend at the vet, they come home tired, neurotic and stinky. Cash and Sunni enjoyed their visit - they were well rested, nobody had any eating issues, they smelled like they did when they were dropped off. Their blankets and bed were freshly washed and folded. The BEST part??? I walked in the door from my 24 hour day of traveling at midnight. My fur babies were at my front door, courtesy of their Pet Taxi Service, at 7:30 in the morning while I was making my coffee. Next trip away, my kids are going to World Class!!!

My female had to be carried out to car she could not walk and bith dogs had horrible diarrhea and vomiting for 2 weeks they have never had these issues, I feared I was gonna have to put the female down even! It was very apparent they were in crates, they are too big for such and I kniw now they do crate to dry after grooming which is unacceptable I thought they had been blown dry not stuffed in a crate wet to dry!!!! I since found a way better place and the difference in picking them up at new facility was night and day my dogs were healthy and happy in new place! Im horribly disappointed and pissed I have spent thousands there through the years and spoke with a couple folks there about this and not a work back no apologies or explanation! Beware and be very cautious about entrusting your fur babies here for sure!!!!

As you can see, I'm fairly inactive with reviews. HOWEVER...this review must be shared…read more We evacuated for what we thought would be a 2-3 day "evacucation" from hurricane Ida. Our oldest son lives in Birmingham so we packed up a couple of carry-on suitcases and our two doggies and took the 5 hr drive from St Charles parish to Birmingham, AL. Our son is very allergic to the dogs---especially our 70+ lb "Buddy", who sheds enough to make a new Pomeranian every single day! There was no way Buddy was going to be able to stay at his place, so I googled kennels in the area and came across this godsend, Oak View Animal Hospital. "Godsend? Really?!?" You may ask; and I tell you wholeheartedly , "YES!!!". 1. They are open on Saturday. Okay, many places are, but not all. We were very happy that they were able to accommodate our Buddy at such short notice (the morning of)! 2. They brought him current on his shots. One of the stressors was that Buddy was not up to date with shots---a big "no-no" if you want to board/groom your dog. OVAH said no problem--we'll take care of that! 3. The staff was great. From the initial phone call (I believe it was Sydney), to the drop off (Sidney and Brandi); to the calls checking up on him (I believe it was Brandi both times), to the pick up (Brandi again!)---they were so, so, so very reassuring, tender and professional to Buddy AND us, that we know you will not be disappointed using their services. 4. The medical care. Working as diligently and professionally behind the scenes was Dr Robinson, who not only gave Buddy his shots, but also performed a full on exam and gave Buddy a clean bill of health...a "1" on the healthy pet scale!! 5. Good byes. When we called to let OVAH know that we were coming to pick up Buddy the next day, they joked that he did so well and he may not even want to leave. We chuckled about it, but don't you know that it took about 3-5 min for Brandy to bring him out. I didn't ask, but I imagine she was probably giving him one last hug because you could definitely tell it's not just a slogan to them: they really do care for your pets as they do their own! 6. The finale. The proverbial cherry on top was when Brandi took our payment. She told me Dr Robinson had heard of our situation and she wanted to help us in our time of need by generously discounting our total bill. She obviously didn't do this to boast or to cultivate our future business (we live two states away!). She did this is because she is obviously a compassionate human being who, without hesitation, took action to help a fellow---no asking whether we made $1M or $1k per year---just shear goodwill on her part. We were so impressed with the total experience we received at OVAH, that we just had to share our experience to help put YOUR mind at ease when deciding for your pet's care anytime you're in the Birmingham area. Thank you, OVAH!!! PS. On the "small world" scene---while walking our small dog on our son's street, I got to chatting with one of the neighbors, whose 19-yr old dog has been cared for by OVAH---she had nothing but praises to say about them!

For an entire groom (bath, brush, hair cut, nails trim) it's about $42. Prices might differ for different breeds. Remy usually always comes home with a nice bandana around his neck & looking very handsome. His groom does vary; sometimes I notice that his coat is not as trimmed or that his coat is not entirely brushed out. I bring him here mostly because it's very close to my house & cheaper than a few other grooming places I looked up. Even though the quality isn't consistent, overall I'm happy with the result. She takes appointments, but there have been a few times that the business was closed without posted reason.
