I have a 4 day work conference in October and needed to do a dry run with my 11 month old pittie. After ***passing*** his 30 minute temperament test (a requirement before they will board your baby), I left him for that weekend while I was home, our first time apart. I was neurotic, he was having a blast. The team sent me videos of him playing the next morning and my heart was warm again. A huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Most importantly, I trust these people. You can't put a price on that. All the staff there are exceptional and care about every one of their pups. Their facility is well laid out, organized and clean. The play yard is also conducive to safety and playtime for my pup. I'll be doing a day care package so he gets socialized. They do it all. Super place and I'm glad I found it.

They require a temperament test (which is good!), and my dog passed with flying colors. When I picked him up, he was happy, tired, and -- best of all -- didn't stink... which isn't always the case after being around a bunch of dogs for a few nights! Very, very reasonable prices. This place will be my go-to, and I'll probably get my dog groomed here next time he needs a cut too!

Dr Tribby and his staff are knowledgeable, professional, and took great care of our babies. They went above and beyond to do micro testing for my kitty whose ears have been bothering her, got us the results and antibiotic drops before we left. Check ups and full vaccination boosters as well as the test and additional treatment for one of our cats under $450 is very reasonable. We will be gladly returning and I recommend this facility to pet owners in the area. My only complaint is that they had 2 large peace lily plants in the treatment room, which are pretty well known to be toxic to cats. Not sure why they would choose to have that in a vet office. Other than that it was a great experience!

Excellent Pet care. We took our birds there until we found an Avian vet. Staff is very caring.read more

We've never had any issues and he always comes home properly worn out from a long day of play and he loves everyone who works there (and they all love him, too!) It's also done wonders for his social skills. When we first started bringing Dexter, he was extremely dog reactive and was completely unable to focus on anything if there were other dogs nearby. Now that he gets to play with other dogs regularly, he's much more well behaved on walks when we pass other dogs.

I brought my Cockapoo in with clear instructions and multiple reference photos showing exactly what I wanted. Instead of following those instructions, they shaved her down without my consent leaving her completely shaved with a poodle type head and a lions tail. At no point did anyone call or text me to ask permission, even though they later claimed "matting" as an excuse. Any competent, professional groomer knows you ASK the owner first before making a drastic decision like that. They did not. The haircut itself is awful -- uneven, careless, and nothing remotely close to the photos I provided. My dog looked embarrassed and stressed when I picked her up, and I was honestly shocked at how bad the job was. What made this even worse was the groomer's attitude when I confronted her. She was rude, dismissive, and showed zero accountability or concern. No apology. No explanation. No attempt to make it right. Just pure indifference. This place clearly does not respect their clients, their instructions, or their pets. If you care about your dog, do not come here -- because they will do whatever they want without asking and then act like it's your problem.

I have went back and forth on whether to write a review for a very long time. The Ritz Pawton hurt…read moremy dog while grooming and cut him multiple times. He had to wear a cone for 10 days with ointment also so his cuts did not get infected. Upon picking up my dog I was not informed of any of his cuts. When I got home he would not stop licking his belly so I then saw the cuts. I notified and sent pictures to the owner which in turn throughout the whole process made excuses and blamed my dog for sitting too much. The owner, Fallon, explained to me my dog was just a puppy and would soon learn how to stand more for longer periods of times. He sat down multiple times and they allowed him to sit bare belly on an unprotected guardless clipper blade. When I asked why he was not in a harness she explained that another groomer was using the only harness they had. My dog was tired from standing is what it sounds like to me. I was given countless excuses the entire time I questioned why this happened to my dog. My dog being a puppy is still and prob never will be comfortable with going to a groomer. I give him Trazodone now when I take him to our new groomer because his anxiety is so bad. Praying this review helps to save another sweet fur baby from being hurt like mine was and still is

He was wild when we got him from the previous owners. He refused to deal with me and my wife. He loved my two Grandsons (who live with us) and stayed in the room with them. We had to go out of town, and we boarded Gizmo with them. That's when I found out that Rebecca ran a training program. It was a 30-day session. While we missed him greatly, we kept in touch thru texts and pics. On September 20, Rebecca brought Gizmo home to us. I would have never believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. He had settled down. He came to us. She went over the different commands he understood, and we practiced. Soon she left to go home. He went outside with me on a leash. No pulling. No wildness. A completely different dog! Two weeks in and he comes when called. He jumps up on the chair with us. He keeps me company as I work daily. He loves belly and back scratches. This week, I decided to try going outside with him with no leash! FANTASTIC! Does his business then wants to play! This is the dog I wanted when we chose Gizmo. I cannot thank Southern Camp Canine and Rebecca Starling enough! Just a superb job of training. He is a joy to have in the family. David W. Hepner, Sr.
