We used Loyal Pet Crematorium during an incredibly painful time. My fiancé handled most of the…read morecommunication initially because I was inconsolable after losing my pet. The obituary they published was pieced together from details he provided, but it read very juvenile and choppy, and didn't reflect the dignity or depth of what she meant to us. I ultimately had to step in and write a more elegant, flowing obituary myself and ask that it be used instead. Unknowingly, they misspelled my son's name on both the obituary and the Christmas card they sent that year. While the card itself was likely meant as a kind gesture, I didn't need to be reminded of my grief that way. A simple, accurate acknowledgment on their website would have been more appropriate. The urn my son chose was perfect and truly appreciated. However, I was uncomfortable that they cut her fur to give to us prior to cremation. While their heart was in the right place, it wasn't something we wanted or were emotionally prepared for. This is deeply sensitive work that requires exceptional attention to detail and emotional awareness. While there were thoughtful elements, the overall experience fell short at a time when care, precision, and understanding mattered most.

Surely, they are mistaken as the person they describe is not the Dr. Dodson we've come to know. My husband and I moved to Taneytown, MD, in 2016. We do feline rescue work, so we need an exceptionally good veterinarian who has affordable prices, is open long hours, and employs an outstanding support staff. After engaging the services of several unacceptable veterinarians in the local Maryland area, we tried the Gettysburg Animal Hospital. The Gettysburg Animal Hospital is owned by Dr. John Dodson, and he practices at it too along with five other highly skilled and talented veterinarians. Dr. Dodson has a wealth of experience and knowledge in treating both cats and dogs. We find him to be a kind man who truly cares about his clients and their pets. He often goes above and beyond treating our cats by explaining to us in great detail their medical ailments and how the prescribed therapy will help them. His practice is run efficiently, and he charges reasonable prices to his clients while offering top notch medical care. We've had the pleasure of Dr. Dodson and several of his veterinarians caring for our rescues these past three years. Based on our lifetime experiences with many veterinarians in several states, we find the Gettysburg Animal Hospital to be the best yet. We know we can count on Dr. Dodson and his staff to give us the best service possible and to keep our cats healthy. We want to thank Dr. Dodson for making this great practice available to the community, and we thank all of his experienced and compassionate veterinarians, technicians, and administrative staff for taking care of our rescued felines. We highly recommend this animal hospital.

Our local kennel was booked & we needed to find another one for a few days over July 4th weekend…read more We have not lived in this area very long & the kennel he had used from a puppy, that he loved is 2 hours away. Most were booked & I found Tamora on google maps. I found positive reviews but no website so I called. She had an opening & seemed very nice over the phone. She said she wasn't booked because she doesn't advertise. The day of drop off at 8:00 am, she called & said she had some medical issues with her arm going numb & was waiting for her Dr to call. She said she would call back when she was ready for him. At 11:00am she called & said we could bring him over. So we gathered up his stuff & headed her way. We pulled in at 11:43am, 13 minutes after our originally scheduled time. As soon as we pulled in, my phone rang & she said "I thought you were bringing your dog this morning". She had us meet her at a side door to the kennel. The outdoor runs are gravel laying on the ground. It's not possible to fully clean urine & feces out of those rocks with a pressure washer. We put him in the kennel she pointed to & told her he drinks a lot of water. She grabbed a large bucket of water that was already filled 3/4 of the way from another kennel & put it in his kennel! Reusing water from the last dog? The reservation was 6/30-7/6 but plans got messed up. On 7/2 we called to say we would pick him up 7/3. For 5 minutes all she did was complain about how horrible our dog was. He knocked over his bucket of water & she had to clean it up. The water soaked his blankets, which we brought from home, which made them extremely heavy to carry. He pushed his food bowl with his nose & knocked it over so she had to put a big rock in it. She said she's never had so much trouble with a dog before ..... my husband said "do you want us to just come right now?", she said "yes & I only take cash". She also made the comment over & over while she was complaining that she should charge us extra for all the extra work she had to do!!!! We pull in, my husband knocks on the door & I go back to the kennel. His door was closed to the outside kennel! How does she expect him to poop outside if she's in the house in the AC & leaves the doors shut so the dogs can't go outside?!?! She opens the door to let us in & his wet blankets are laying in front of his cage, a huge rock sitting inside of a small bowl that barely fit 2 cups of food & the water container was hooked to the kennel, which is where it should have been in the first place. She started pointing to the blankets, to the water bucket, the bowl & was complaining non stop. I said "the water buckets should always be hooked for larger dogs so they can't knock them over & he knocked the food over because he was probably bored." My husband was putting the wet blankets in a trash bag & I was getting him out of the cage while she was non stop going off. Then she looks at my husband with an attitude & says "are you gonna pay me?". I couldn't believe her attitude & I pulled his leash & walked out the door. We gave her an extra $10. I put him in the back of the car & jumped in to turn the AC on. We were both so mad, we got out of there before we really told her how we felt. We got about 15 minutes down the road & stopped for food & to get him a treat but when we checked on him, we saw this horrible wound on his snout!!! He was only there for 3 days/2 nights!!! I called & asked her how he got it & she said she never saw anything on his nose. I offered to send her a picture via email or text but she apparently doesn't have those or didn't want to offer them. She kept giving me excuses that dogs like to root around with their noses & my husband hung up the phone. She called back twice after that & I didn't answer. She left voicemails stating that she didn't do anything to him & would like us to stop by do she can see it herself. She changed her attitude & said he had a great disposition, he just did a few bad things. We live 20 minutes from this kennel & the last thing I'm doing is going back there!! He has been home now for 3 days/2 nights & he's still very quiet, depressed & not himself at all. He seems like he was really traumatized & anybody who knows our dog, knows he is high energy all the time. We are so mad & upset & the only thing I know to do is write reviews letting people know what happened there. I wish he could talk & tell me.
