There is no better place than Old Salem. We've been taking our dogs there for going on 9-10 years…read more We know they are taken care of and are safe. Todd is amazing with them - all we have to do is tell them they're going to see Todd and they immediately begin to bark, run to the truck, jump in and out and do the same sorts of things when we arrive. It's a bit of a drive for us but well worth it when we pick them up and they're still happy boys. We tried a couple of other kennels with our first two German Shepherds but they just didn't quite measure up - unless Todd closes down (please NO!), he'll continue seeing the Kole dogs on a regular basis. Thank you, Todd, for such an awesome safe place for all the fur babies you've kept over the years! L. Kole

From the owner: Established in 1996, Old Salem Kennel offers a limited, by-appointment-only training program rooted…read morein traditional methods and decades of hands-on experience. We specialize in obedience training, gundog development, and truffle dog work, working with a small number of dogs at a time to ensure focus, consistency, and quality results. Our program is designed for owners who value thoughtful training, long-term development, and a disciplined approach built on trust and follow-through. Because of the individualized nature of our work, availability is limited and placements are intentional. Old Salem Kennel is best suited for those seeking a serious, experience-driven approach rather than quick fixes or bargain training.

I am beyond angry right now. I don't get mad very often, but I am livid. We took our dog to the vet…read moreto get her shots. We went into the exam room, and the vet tech took our information into the computer, and left. As we were waiting for the doctor, some lady comes in to the room and asks Do we have a problem here? I said I have no idea what you are talking about. She says that something was said to the tech. She never introduces herself, and has a horrible disposition. She says that my son said something to the tech while her back was turned. I said he didn't say anything to her. The lady says her tech is in back crying. I asked what the tech claimed my son said. She said the tech said that my son called her a whore under his breath. I said that absolutely did not happen. My son is not in the habit of calling strangers whores. She said well I've known this tech for years, and she would not lie, and walked out of the room. When the doctor came in, I told him I wanted an apology from the lady for calling us liars. He left the room, and 15 minutes later the lady came back in and said she doesn't owe us an apology. I said so you said your technician isn't lying, so we must be lying. She said yes. I said you know, it's possible no one is lying, and your tech misheard my son talking to me. She said it was possible, but she's not apologizing. We have gone to this vet for almost 8 years, and for them to let this horrible manager treat us like this is disgraceful. My son has anxiety is so upset he's having a panic attack. I understand trying to defend your employees from being mistreated, but when she spoke with us, and we told her nothing was said, she should've addressed it differently. She has ZERO customer service skills...she is a liability to the business.

We lost our sweet Bleu last night but the staff was absolutely the best and we thank yall so much.read more

The happiest surprise happened the following day at the Saturday curb market at Harmony Crossing when 2 young ladies yelled Lillibet. She was so excited to see two employees of Harmony who wanted to play with her! I was impressed they remembered her name. So she is going to spend the night this weekend.

They sent us updates everytime they came out to let the dogs out and feed them, which was huge so we weren't worrying them every second. They also switched out the puppy pads as needed and brought in our mail. Definitely worth it to have them pet sit for us. We will be using them any time we have to travel.

BEWARE OF COUNTRYSIDE VET in Jersey/Covington! We have a horse therapy non-profit and have been…read moreloyal clients at Countryside Vet for over ten years with 13 horses and several dogs and cats. We never disputed a charge and always kept our account paid and up to date. We had an injured donkey that literally couldn't walk and Dr. Brown came out that day and told us that she just had a bruised heel. It seemed odd for how much pain she seemed to be in but we believed her and put her on bute and contained her in a small area as she suggested. A few days later we called her out again because there had been no improvement and she said it was because our farrier had not trimmed her feet often enough. We knew this was not correct because we just had her trimmed and the injury was very sudden. We just tried to do our best and keep her contained and on pain medication. They next week we were on vacation a couple of weeks in Japan and the barn manager called them out. Dr. Brown did over $600.00 worth of X-rays without calling us to authorize and still did not diagnose her. When we returned our farrier came out and told us she had two bowed tendons. He is familiar with Dr. Carter and was so shocked that Dr. Brown had not known that immediately the day it happened he said he would call personally to help us dispute the X-ray charge. We have attempted six times to speak with Dr. Brown or Dr. Carter regarding this and they refuse to contact us. We received a notice from a collection company for the $600 00 bill instead. Dr. Brown misdiagnosed two other horses at the barn at which we boarded; one was a simple thrush issue that she padded the bill to over $1,000 and another was a tooth surgery where she damaged an eye during the surgery and billed to remedy the mistake she made into the thousands. This was also price gouging a different non-profit. It's sad to think they would lose a loyal client for over ten years over a $600 mistake that they are responsible for.

They are completely unreliable. They overcharged me. I wouldn't trust them with my pet ever again.read more

Cat Owner!...Speaking on behalf of my lovely cat…read more First time I had Jacob stop by to help provide for my cat twice a day for 15-30 min, he was a newly adopted 2 yr old boy. Incredibly standoffish at first, my cat became perfectly comfortable around Jacob very quickly. I was away for nearly 2 weeks. Jacob only took about 1 or 2 days for my cat to get acclimated to him. Fast forward 4 months later (a much shorter trip that I'll be on, and still a naturally skittish cat) but he remembers Jacob!! Usually he hides for a while but he seems to have immediately smelled Jacob's scent and felt comfortable with coming out sayin' hello and possibly having a bit of play time. I'm so happy to know that Travis can happily expect someone he trusts and looks forward to seeing! The best part of this service is the photos and real time text updates during the appointments. A serious A+ for communication. You can call in, text, discuss everything with him down to whichever specifications necessary (i.e food, behavior, etc). Nothing beats seeing your little one in real time via photos and understanding how they're doing through direct messages from the person that's taking care of them. It's a huge amount of stress off of your shoulders during a trip away. You've been fantastic Crate Escape! Thanks for making me feel secure that my little guy is taken care of and feeling good :)
