This mama was ready to deliver anytime and this group of twisted individuals made the decision to kill them. If there was a medical concern there are other options to help this mama.

Love them and love how well they run their business.

I just had the best visit with owner April at Shooting Star Services in Elk River!…read more If you you have specific needs for training, treats and food...this is the spot!! I came here for three reasons: 1) I have a dog that pulls on the leash and she was able to fit my corgi properly with a harness (because I was certain I was doing it wrong.) and she gave me tips and encouragement to continue training for better behaviors. 2) I am super picky about ingredients in dog food and treats and she was able to give me a ton of insight to confirm my research and suggest some things to pay attention to. 3) Lastly, my dog is a chewer and I have been scared that most options out there have the risk of tooth breakage. April was able to give me lots to think about and had good options on what else would work for us.

We purchased both of our labs from Jeff La Tour at Elk River Kennels and they are the best dogs…read more Also, he trained both of them for hunting and retrieving and basic obedience; both are wonderfully trained. On Oct. 1, 2020, Erin DeMars made FALSE allegations of abuse against La Tour and Elk River Kennels. She stated that her bulldog Olive had blood all over it and was bleeding when she picked it up. In Nov. 2020, a district court Judge determined that DeMars' statements were fabricated and grossly exaggerated. The judge issued a restraining order against Erin DeMars to stop her defamation against the La Tours and their business, Elk River Kennels. Be sure that this is a very reputable dog trainer and your dog will be well cared for while staying at Elk River Kennels. We board our dogs here too when we go on vacation and they've never had any issues.

We recently used South Shore Animal Hospital for the first time after leaving a veterinarian we…read morehave used for 24 years. I loved my vet there but the staff was what set me looking elsewhere for care for my two dogs. I went to South Shore on recommendation from two people. My first experience was neutering my puppy. South Shore was significantly less expensive than other offices (I checked cost) and the service they provided was incredible. Everyone in the office was incredibly professional and caring. I felt totally comfortable with Dr Emily Van Arsdale Trent. She listened and explained how the day would work and most of all demonstrated compassion for my pup and for me. Because I had such an awesome experience at South Shore, even though it is a lot further to drive, I will be bringing my pets to them for care. Thank you to Dr Emily and the entire South Shore Team. You make a difference. Laurie Young and puppy Graham
