    At first Dog House was awesome and a true up and coming business. I wholeheartedly supported the…read moreowner and appreciated her once excellent services. I spoke as her witness at town council when noise violations were brought up against her business and the verdict went on her favor. Later on in Jan/Feb 2025 timeframe I noticed her employees were never there. Owner had her very young son in the grooming area 3 times looking dirty and tired. My pup isn't trustworthy with small children unfortunately. I mentioned this and the owner said, "well he needs to learn how to act around dogs". I didn't like that answer but also empathize with working moms so I continued to support her business. My last visit was a disaster. I scheduled a week in advance, the toddler boy was there again and yet another new employee. 6 hours later he still wasn't groomed fully groomed just bathed. I went to get my pup because I don't want him locked up all day. I mentioned I don't like him being kenneled all day without potty breaks and water. She claimed to walk the dogs when they are with her all day. I didn't believe that to be true because she was watching her son and grooming with a new hire and her husband. If she didn't have time to groom my dog in 6 hours how would she have time to walk him? Furthermore they forgot to use my shampoo (the shampoo they use smells terrible to me and gives my pup dandruff) she said her husband forgot to use my shampoo. Her husband isn't a groomer and I didn't like that random people were working with my pup. The prices are about 30% hire than other groomers and I always tip $20.00 but I later learned the tips are not given to groomers. Dog House was once an excellent groomer/ boarder but the employee turnover and tip controversy and long groom times and very young children walking loose just are not acceptable to me. I wish them well, but they must treat employees with respect and pay better attention to client requests.

    Blacksburg Animal Clinic - This is a transcript of how hateful DR Watson was with me. I'm on disability and refused to give my service dog her meds.

    This new owner is very hateful. He has seen my service dog for over a year. Since he took…read moreownership, he said I was rude to the staff and argued over 80 cents. He also stated I'd have to go see another vet. This is all slandering and untrue. I was short 80 cents and was going to go to my car to get the 80 cents, but a wonderful staff member said she would take care of it. This Dr denied my prescription for my service dog because he said I was looking for a new clinic. Why in the world would I look for a new clinic until he denied me the prescription for my service dog. Yes, I said I would have to look for someone else if he refused to fill any medication for my service dog. I did have to take her to Mountain View Humane to get her spayed due to my disability and lack of income. I thought at one time Blacksburg Animal Clinic was the best! This is not the case after DR Watson bought the clinic. He actually spoke with me on the phone as well and was very hateful and domineering. I tried to explain and he said he would send my medical records to whoever I wanted, then blocked my number as I only had a few hours to choose a new vet. I then emailed him to try to explain because he wouldn't give me a chance to speak on the phone when he called back. I said I'd have no choice to report him to the state board and DCA. He just gave me a hateful answer and then proceeded to tell me to do as I see fit. It's like he doesn't care! Who wants a vet like this?

I called them up and fortunately they had a drop-off slot available. When I dropped Millie off the staff was very friendly and welcoming. By the early afternoon one of the veterinarians rang me, and went onto express she had contracted an ear infection. He administered some medication, and explained I shouldn't have to worry moving forward. When I picked her up she was clearly feeling much better. Since the visit Millie has been just fine. I'm most thankful for everything the folk at BAC did for her. They are officially Mill's vet! Thanks again y'all!

I took my dog and cat to get groomed at Heartstrings pet lodging and spa on PHD. A girl named Megan groomed my cat. This is Leo. It was his first time going to the groomer. I've always been the one to groom him and he's never been aggressive... I took pictures of my cat before bringing him in incase anything happens, which is him on the left, before the groomers. Not even 15 min later I bring my dog back so she can wait to get groomed while Leo is getting groomed. The lady comes running out saying I should take my cat to the vet. I say what do you mean?? I walk in and see him on the table, they lift up a whole flap of skin and all I see is this huge gash! It looked like he was sliced by a knife and it was about 2 inches long. They said the wound was already here when I brought him in. Alright my cat had nothing wrong with him before I took him here. I IMMEDIATELY took Leo to the vet and the vet said this wound is FRESH. That it did not look like a puncture wound from another animal. That it either had to be the groomer or he got caught on bobwire which isnt possible under the circumstances. I waited for the owner of Heartstrings to arrive. He was a very rude old man named Rick. He didnt want to believe that my cat was wounded by his groomer even though everything is pointing to the groomer. I was very upset and he wasnt wanting to do anything about this situation or have any care about what happened to my cat. He refused to pay my cats vet bill and was just absolutely SURE that the groomer didnt do it even though theres NO CAMERAS! I have a picture of my cat right before taking him. I wish I got a picture of the gash but I was so stressed about taking him to the vet I didnt think about taking a picture I just have one after the staples and $300 vet bill. Can someone please help me on what to do about this situation because justice has to be done and I feel so left in the dark with this!
