Rob said as soon as he got him to the vet they gave him painkillers to top the pain while we decided what to do. It was apparent that the damage was so great that we needed to euthanize him. By the time I got of work he was already euthanized. They brought him out for me to see, he was still warm so I kissed on him and cried for about 15 minutes. The staff was very compassionate. Let me take my time. I am grateful to them for that.

Just showed up to this vet in need of help - I showed up with my dog because their outgoing message…read moresays " for all services please come in" figuring it was ok to come in and inquire for help. Instead of helping me get on a waitlist for tomorrow to see the vet - the actual vet came out - ( seemed to have the time to do so) to tell me to call tomorrow at 8 am to get on the wait list because it's only fair. Even though I explained my dog has open tick sores that are getting infected. Zero help and zero heart. Even the other vet clinics I've called have been kind enough to put me on a waitlist for tomorrow. Would never go to this heartless logic less vet.

Within 5 minutes the clinician came back and said we need to euthanize with zero explanation as to why. It wasn't until they were already drawing the euthanasia into the needles that they explained there were tumors in her stomach and they had preformed an ultrasound to find them. She has had no history of this but I could see she was suffering so I agreed. When I was saying goodbye to my dog I've had since I was 10 years old they kept coming in asking if I was done yet. I was given 10 minutes to say goodbye to my dog of over a decade. They still charged the emergency visit fee on top of the cremation fee. I was out $700 and my best friend. There was no one else in the lobby waiting and they were still rushing me out. No sympathy to my situation, you'd think vets would be more compassionate to pet parents but no. The only reason i'm giving the two stars is because on another occasion, I needed to get my cat dewormed and the woman on the phone encouraged me to try a cheaper over the counter medication at a local pet store first, before paying for an appointment at their clinic.

Maci has also been super helpful in helping us find a solution to my dogs overactive glands that several vets haven't been able to do! The vibe is always calm and friendly.

The shelters are old, yes, but they are certainly not in danger of collapse. The fences are working fine; it's been a long while since they weren't. As for the owners forgetting to feed, that happened four years ago. If it's true they missed noticing horses with colic, that also is ancient history. As for animal control being called, that happened one time with a horse that was thin because it was very old and had bad teeth.The real problem at the stable is disgruntled boarders who wouldn't be satisfied with any situation.

TERRIBLE PLACE TO BOARD!!! I used to board my horse here. It's truly one of the worst boarding…read morestables I've ever seen. The facilities are crumbling and downright dangerous. The fences (hotwire) don't work most of the time, so horses get out routinely. The owners are NOT horse people -- they had no prior experience with horses prior to buying the stable a few years ago. In fact, they've missed noticing obviously colicing horses in the past! DO NOT trust the owners to feed your horse, either -- they've failed to feed horses in the past that they were paid to feed. Animal control has been called out before because of horses in extremely poor condition, which the owners had been trying to sweep under the rug. And the "arena"... The sand footing is way too deep. The owners were even told by the vet's office that the footing is dangerous and could cause tendon/ligament injuries to horses, but the owners haven't fixed it (or really anything else that's needed repairs). Run away from this place, far far away.

I scheduled with Bubble Buddies primarily because I have a very large and strong dog who is…read morecompletely blind and hates baths. She plants her feet and won't move if she feels pressured. She relies on my voice to calm her and I wanted to be nearby at least at first. This isn't something the nearest groomers would allow, so a mobile groomer seemed ideal. I decided to give a spa day to my second dog at the same time, in part because I wanted to make it worthwhile for this company to come to my house. My second dog doesn't like other dogs so we avoid situations like a groomer's. It was a wonderful experience for all three of us. The groomer had been a vet tech and she sincerely liked my girls. My blind dog, who is shy, trusted her right away and that's unusual. She was sensitive to their personalities and needs and so gentle (yet effective) with them. The groomer was really able to focus on each dog and personalize the grooming experience to them. For example, one dog was afraid of the blow dryer so she skipped that. She was sensitive to their needs, and that, as well as having the van come right to our house, was well worth the cost. I'm so pleased to find a service like this in Humboldt. I'm from Honolulu and we didn't even have one there. My special needs rescue dogs have endured a lot and it gives me great pleasure to treat them well and support people who do the same. I also got a big kick out of the bows on their collars after they were bathed. Generally I see little fluffy dogs with them after grooming. My sweet girls, although vastly different from expensive purebreds, looked even better. I hope this business is successful as I look forward to utilizing their helpful expertise again. Thank you, Bubble Buddies, for treating my dogs with respect and kindness, and giving them a positive grooming experience in a safe environment.
