Also, it's nice to support local businesses even with small purchases. Since Pets Are Home probably doesn't have the backing of a multi-million dollar corporation, the store is a bit smaller compared to your typically PetSmart and Petco spots. However, Pets Are Home definately has more charm than the two places that I mentioned. Overall, I thought the staff were super friendly and helpful. While I probably will not visit too frequently, I definitely hope to drop by from time to time to load up on some fun treats and speciality doggie biscuits for our pup. One slight inconvenience, which is not the fault of the store, the parking is bit tight in this small shopping center. *The parking situation seems to be a bit of a problem in this area.* So it might be best to visit during off peak hours.

They let the dogs pee all over the floor instead of taking them out, so my very well trained dog start having accidents. On top of that, they will clean the floor once all of the dogs are in crates but my baby would come home smelling like chemical cleaner so I feared for her safety. The final straw was when another dog had a trial day and I saw him on the camera humping my dog. Thank goodness for the cameras. I immediately called the front desk and asked them to remove him and they never did. I kept on watching the cameras and he would not leave my poor baby alone! I jumped in the car and drove there as fast as I could and never took her back. And there were TWO workers in there who didn't do a single thing to help! Almost every single time I picked my baby up she was in a crate. I took her there to be loved, to have play time, and to be safe. It was FAR below my expectations and she picked up very bad habits there such as reactivity. 0/10 stars and I never got refunded for the rest of my monthly payment

19 December 2025…read more This practice is one of the best we have experienced since living in this area for 48 years. Our 15 year old greyhound, NFL Steph, who was our beautiful, black beauty for 11+ years, becoming, over time, unable to jump into our vehicle for walks or for medical treatment, or to allow us to assist her in doing so. We were very fortunate to learn that the Animal Medical Hospital at Glenwood offered home visits by such knowledgable and compassionate doctors such as Dr. Amy Wysocki, Dr. Erika Watkins and most recently, Dr. Adrianna Sniezek. Dr. Adrianna and Emily came to our home this past Tuesday to help our beloved, rescue racer, Steph, transition to that doggy playground in the sky, who has been suffering with legs that no longer supported her or kept her from falling over; great difficulty in even trying to settle down on her many pillows; and an inability to maintain her weight, as she wasted away into black skin covered ribs, protruding hip bones and an alligator spine. She had become completely incontinent, even though my wife took her out day and night ever 3 hours to relieve herself. The compassionate service that Dr. Adrianna and Emily offered was so comforting to Steph and to us, as they talked us through the procedures that they were going to administer: the medication to make her relax, relieve any pain and finally to pass away. It felt, to my wife and i, as if we were witnessing a human hospice passing. So professional and respectful and comforting to our beloved 4-legged baby, and to my wife and i, as Steph passed peacefully away in the familiar and confomforting surroundings of our home. We could not have asked for better medical treatment, even from a medical practitioner for humans.

I should have just paid the extra money and taken her to be spayed at my regular vet and I ended up paying almost the same thing.

"12409 Lime Kiln Rd is where I'm at!" Mojo JoJo yelled redundantly. "BUBBLES!!! I have found you, third Powerpuff Girl!" Mojo JoJo laughed. Mojo JoJo paused to reflect, "But why were you so foolish to write your name on the door?" Mojo JoJo reached for the door handle. "Drat! I don't have an appointment, and an appointment I needed!" He glanced at his notes, before calling one of his humans whom he brainwashed with a head of Anubis statue, empowered by rubies he had also procured, to make the call on his behalf. With his appointment having been placed, he waited the requisite amount of time, hiding poorly behind a fence, until he could be "right on time" and knock. "And where are Blossom and Buttercup, your Yorkies?" one of the kind employees asked. Mojo JoJo grinned malevolently. The human he had transformed into a dog had remembered the names of his other two archenemies. "I knew it! She was foolish enough to write her name on the facade. Unwise even, I say." He then looked inside and begged their pardon for a moment as he turned to one of the dogs who had just luxuriated in a warm bath with, much to his chagrin, no longer extant bubbles. "Where is Bubbles? I am losing my patience! My patience is ebbing! One might even say waning!" At that point, several of Barks 'N Bubbles's canine clients began to bark in wonder at the oddly-dressed and Machiavellian-sounding chimpanzee; and Mojo JoJo lowered his head and realized he had been had. He saw how happy the dogs looked, dressed in their Halloween-themed bandanas, and how excited they were to be safely reunited with their owners and to be encouraged to pick out a squeaky Halloween-themed toy, and he paused magnanimously. "May I make an appointment for myself? An appointment I would very much like to make!" The Powerpuff girls would have to wait, and so too would the city of Townsville!

As long as our dog was doing well. When we arrived home, we realized that her bed was missing. I called and asked about her bed. They placed me on hold for 5 minutes... Not a good sign.. they told me they were still looking and that they would call us back tomorrow morning. Havind never received a phone call, I called them at 10:00 a.m. and was told that they were still unable to find the bed. A staff member overheard her talking and said oh sorry your dog shredded it the first night. So, our dog was without her bed for four nights and no one bothered to inform us? We also found out by that same person that they threw out her dog toy because there was feces all over it... Again you didn't think to tell us about this? That's pretty serious because my dog had diarrhea when we picked her up yesterday and this morning. Could that be the reason??! I also found out that they had over 100 dogs yesterday!

02/28/25 I dropped off my 2 year old lab at daycare at 8am after not being there for 1.5 years…read morebecause I waited until he was 2 y/o to get neutered. At 6:20pm when we picked him up, immediately outside the front door, I noticed a bald spot on his lower back. Quickly inspecting it, I brushed it off since he might've gotten it from playing w/ another dog and did not see any deep punctures in the bald spot. He arrived at daycare with both a harness and a neck collar on but could only use the collar for daycare. So they kept his harness on the hook until pickup and put it back on him when giving him to us. When we got home and took off the harness, hidden underneath where the harness sits, we noticed dried blood on his fur on top of his shoulder blade. Upon further inspection, there was a gash, deep enough to be able to open the wound and see subcutaneous skin. We took him to an emergency vet where he got staples and was sent home with antibiotics and pain meds. Why did the daycare not inform us of this incident? I understand dogs may play rough and given it was his first time back in 1.5 years, but my dog is not aggressive. He doesn't bite or bark (he barks when hungry), regardless of around strangers or other dogs. He is the friendliest pup ever and loves rubs. Even if he got into a scuffle with another dog, why did they not give us a call? What even happened? We utilized their indoor/outdoor play cameras throughout the day and in the hours of 3:00pm to when we picked him up, he was nowhere to be found. Manager said their sleep suites and other areas in the camp have no cameras. So where was my dog from 3:00-6:20pm? If he was put away due to a fight, still, why did they not inform us? Anyways not much we could do that night besides get my dog fixed up, as daycare closed at 7pm. So I called their number and left a voicemail. Next day, we came back to speak with the manager. Brought the vet bill with me. Told him what happened. In the end, there was NO type of accountability. I asked, "if an employee had to put his harness on to give him back to us, how did he not see the cut with DRIED red blood around the area?" Do they don't care or were aware enough to quickly glance at the dogs there to see their physical health throughout the day? Manager contradicted himself. He first apologized and said "it happened on the way out of bringing him to you" then contradicted himself later saying "my staff did not notice anything on your dog when we brought him out." So was the staff aware of what happened to my dog or not? If they acknowledged it, why NOT INFORM US when it happened? The LACK of communication and accountability is what upsets me. Accidents happen. I understand. But where is the communication at? After that went down, he tried to offer to reimburse us back a day's worth of day care ($40 btw) and a free enrichment session ($10). You think that makes up for the $650 unplanned vet bill? The emotional trauma when we found the cut? Most importantly, my DOG'S well-being and our TRUST in Camp Bow Wow in taking care of my dog???? He said he couldn't reimburse us for the bill, even though the incident happened under their care and supervision. Yes the disclaimer I signed said they are not liable but wow, I can't believe a money-hungry corporate facility would rather let me face the vet bill and having to take off work for the next week for my dog than to offer to reimburse me. Again, vet bill is not the issue; LACK of COMMUNICATION and ACCOUNTABILITY is the issue. Least they could do is offer to reimburse the bill. I want to bring awareness to Camp Bow Wow. Be careful bringing your pups here, they might just send you home with a hurt dog and a "we can't do anything about it" attitude!!!!!! Emergency vet said it is highly unlikely it was another dog's bite or nail scratch, as the cut was very straight and she said a "superficial" object may have caused it. So if that rules out another dog doing it, WHO or WHAT cut him??? WHY are the dogs playing around SHARP edges/objects and unaware staff?? If dog load is an issue to have staff constantly supervising them, then hire some more people. At the end of the day, my dog came home with a fat cut on him and no one knows what happened.
