About 6 months ago I noticed that my boxer had a soft lump that had formed on her back leg. I made an appointment and took her in. Dr. Black saw us for only 5 min and without even putting his hands on my baby he said "Oh this is nothing don't worry about it, and it would be an unnecessary surgery and cost about $400.00. He also said that the body would absorb it eventually". In the last month it has gotten huge (the size of a grapefruit)!!!!!!! I took her to another vet and he said IT HAS TO BE REMOVED!!!!!! Now I'm looking at a $1,500.00 surgery. WHY COULDNT HE HAD JUST LOOKED AT IT A LITTLE CLOSER????

Our dog had TPLO surgery and while the procedure is not inexpensive, we found their estimate to be middle of the road and the experience performing the procedure to be the most extensive. They were really good with our girl and so far, the results have been better than expected. The location is right off the I-5. It's easy to find and to park. As far as I could tell, it was the closest location in our end of the county to receive overnight care (as opposed to having a traveling animal surgeon perform the procedure at a local vet office and sending her immediately home) for TPLO.

Bonnie Dilly, owner/operator at Lost Horse showed me kindness and compassion during an extremely…read moredifficult time. My 27 year old equine companion suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the veterinarian recommended to humanly euthanize. I was devastated and barely able to function. He had been in our family for almost 2 decades and provided us with endless hours, days, weeks, months, and years of happiness, service, and companionship. So with it being Friday and the vet saying it would be OK to wait through the weekend, I begun making his end of life plans for Monday. It was important to me that the timing and transport go through without hitch. I really didn't want my guy out there in the heat, or with flies. It was also very important that he be treated with the dignity and respect he so deserved. Bonnie was on time and even called when she was on the way just as she said she would. When she arrived she handled the situation like a true professional, and got my guy compassionately loaded as quickly as possible. She also kept in contact with me all the way through drop off/check in with the crematory. Should you need aftercare services (compassionate transport) and/or cremation (group or private) for your horse, I highly recommend Bonnie. Current cremation rates: $1 per pound for private and $.65 per pound for group. Transport rates vary.

This review is entirely to help make her business known, but coming from someone who sees how much…read moretime, effort, and money she puts in, I am happy to help. I am her daughter, so I might sound biased, but please hear me out. From going to pick up new puppies to helping them give birth, I can honestly say that she does an excellent job, and she most definitely tries her best. She puts a lot of love and compassion towards her breeding business. Although she is new, she has lots of resources and she's excited to learn new things about the breeding world. If you have any questions or concerns, she's happy to help as she has worked in customer service for 20+ years. Her dogs are excellent quality, and they are AKC registered. They also come with a care package full of necessities that pet parents sometimes forget about. I highly recommend purchasing your next fur baby from Furever Poms.

From the owner: Hello and welcome! My name is Tammy Owens. I have been raising dogs and cats for over 30 years…read more Once we became the owner of a Pomeranian, he stole our hearts. He is a red sable male; his name is Bailey, we adopted him in 2010, and he is still living his best life as of today. He is the reason I decided to become a small hobby breeder. I will do my best to not only achieve AKC standards but to raise a happy, healthy Pomeranian. Our puppies are raised in our home and are loved and cherished from the second they are born. We have several sizes of Pomeranians. Poms used to be 30-pound dogs, but over the years, they have been bred down in size. You will see Poms ranging in size from 3 to 15 pounds. They do and will vary in size. I breed for a variety of exotic colors such as Blue Merles, Blue Merle Parti's, Chocolate Merles, Chocolates, Chocolate Parti's, Black and Tans, Blue and Tans, Blues and Tri-Parti's.

Our 8-lb, 3-year-old toy poodle suddenly began showing aggressive behavior. We immediately had him…read moreevaluated by two veterinarians, including appropriate testing, and confirmed the issue was behavioral--not medical. We contacted Bark Busters in Livermore due to strong reviews. That trainer referred us to the trainer covering our area, Sarah Harrington. She assured us she had handled similar cases many times and that their method--different from traditional training--could correct the behavior, although there is no guarantee. Based on that, we agreed to proceed despite the high cost. The fee is $1,875 (lifetime training), paid in full upfront. In hindsight, that should have given us pause. At the initial visit, our dog reacted very negatively--barking continuously and backing away. This was unusual, as he is normally friendly with new people. The trainer also appeared fearful, explaining she had recently been bitten by another dog. A significant portion of the session was spent reading from a binder rather than actively engaging with us or demonstrating techniques until after the total fee was paid in full. This method does not use treats at all. We followed the approach consistently for over three weeks. Instead of improving, our dog became more fearful, his personality seemed to change, and the aggression worsened. When we raised concerns, we were told to continue. The trainer did not proactively check in; we were told follow-up was our responsibility. Given the seriousness of the issue and the cost, we expected more support. We ultimately decided to stop. No partial refund was offered. We were told the contract would become void if we did not re-engage within seven days. We were also cautioned about posting a negative Yelp review. We are sharing our experience so others can make an informed decision. We hope your experience is better than ours.

If you're struggling with behavior issues or just want a better relationship with your dog, I highly recommend Sarah and Bark Busters Central Valley!

But I had found out that the manager, who was always there happened to be on vacation. The week we left our dogs and whatever staff was there. Did not do what they are supposed to do to take care of my dog at the time. But in 2024, we dropped our dogs off and the manager, and another long time the staff member was there and they took excellent care of our 2 dogs as they normally had done in the past several years. Except for that one year when the manager was gone. Her and her son were great.I know the son left and went to another vet office.

Last year I would have given VIP Pet at any mobile location a 5 star rating. Not today. I gave them…read moreone star because not all of their associates were as rude, insulting, disrespectful and patronizing as the vet. Backgrounder: we bought a house with a large, fenced yard so that our hunting dog could have the freedom to run and explore to his heart's content because walks were never enough for our registered field dog. So he usually runs around our property without a collar which we only use when we take him out. Today, we couldn't find his collar in our hurry to make it to Discount Pet on Hammer Lane for his heart worm test before VIP Pet closed for the week, so we used what was in sight: a one-piece leash with a loop at the end aka a choke collar just so we could make it on time. Although she knew absolutely nothing about us and our dog, the vet immediately started criticizing us for using such a collar, saying it was "unacceptable" in a very patronizing tone, going on and on, asking if we wanted such a collar around our necks, and even having the temerity to tell my husband he didn't know how to train our dog who is an 8-year-old veteran of multiple, always successful and safe hunting trips that would be impossible without careful training. Despite knowing nothing about our dog's temperament, our relationship with him (he's our baby), or our background as loving dog humans for over 30 years, she was disrespectful, obnoxious and highly presumptuous, putting us off ever using VIP Pet Services again. Through the years, we've spent hundreds of dollars at VIP Pet. I liked the convenience and their staff until today. You can be sure that after this bad experience, I'll be looking for a good neighborhood vet who knows how to treat humans, as well as dogs, humanely and respectfully.
