TL;DR: My dog has razor burn all over his belly and nicks on his ears and armpits. He also has what…read morelooks like bites. He's on flea meds and I've never seen a flea or these bites on him before. Don't take your dog here. I was recommended this place by a friend. I'm pretty sure they're friends, so I was hesitant to leave a review. I told him that I just needed the basics. Sanitation cut, glands, and nails. I dropped my dog off at 10. I called at 2 and he wasn't ready. I don't know how you need 4 hours when I made an appointment, but whatever. I finally got to pick him up around 3. Was charged almost $100 and was griped out by the guy saying that next time he had to "do all that" it would be $120. All that? He did way more than I asked. I am actually find with that. Hair grows out. I'm not okay with the nicks and razor burn. He's been licking and chewing himself for 4 days. He never used to do that. He keeps licking his anus, which worries me about how gentle they weren't with expressing him. The cut itself is super choppy looking. Like he has short spots and long spots right next to each other. But even if he looked perfect, I'd be upset by the razor burn and the little nicks. I wish I had listened to myself. I really didn't want to leave him there. My brain kept screaming for me to leave. I should have listened. Now I had to spend another $40 on hot spot sprays and skin soothing lotion.

Dr. Naqvi took him in for an appointment and explained to me the different things that could be happening to him. We decided to have him neutered and Dr. Naqvi was able to take him in sooner for neutering than other clinics and my boy was taken care of in a week. My boy is an 85lb American Bully and he immediately felt very comfortable with the staff and Dr. Naqvi. Every time we came in during our ordeal, he was a happy boy because he knew he was going to get hugs and kisses. Shoutout to Alondra, Lupe, and the rest of the staff for making him feel so loved! When I had concerns for his bruising they didn't hesitate to check him out and let me know he was okay. One week afterwards, our girl developed an abscess on her paw that was red and painful for her to walk. We also brought her in to Dr. Naqvi and they were able to determine it was a foxtail and were able to have her undergo a procedure to have it extracted. My girl is a shy Presa Canario and they were also able to make her feel comfortable. She was also undergoing a severe allergy episode and Dr. Naqvi was able to work with my family during this difficult time and my babies are recovering really well! I brought my boy for his stitches removal and he was so excited to be there and immediately rushed Alondra for his hug tax, makes me so happy to see him happy and comfortable and loved. Dr. Naqvi has become our family vet for sure and will be bringing all my babies here. Definitely recommend them!

After putting a lot of thought and waiting a few days so I can be more logical about the situations…read morethat Suzie and her business put us through, I will start from the beginning so all dog owners and animal lovers in general that are looking for a good dog sitting/boarding business can grasp just a bit of what we went through. Me and my husband found Suzie's pet care on Yelp, we lived very close to her and my husband was pleased with the rates she was offering, on the other hand I did notice a 1star review from a previous client (that Suzie has managed to remove through yelp) stating that her dog was bitten by another dog under Suzie's care and she was concerned about the amount of negligence that caused the poor dog to be bitten so horribly. That scared me but my husband wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and we really wanted to save money on our travels (big mistake) so I called and talked to Suzie regarding this review I noticed and how it concerned me, she responded by how she learned from that mistake and how she had responded to the review, which was great and all ..then she went on assuring me that my dog would be in good hands. We picked our dog up the first time after we had her boarded and everything seemed fine except my dog smelled like a cigarette head to toe. I was so upset and disappointed but I just let it go, how ever we needed to find a dog sitter for our next trip months later, so I contacted Suzie and addressed the smoke smell on our dog that wouldn't go away. The one thing I did like about her service was the fact that she would send pictures and updates, she told me it was "the fireplace " they use.. well if that's the case I'm more concerned about the amount of smoke vs. oxygen in her home and how come my dog smells more like a cigarette then your home when we walk in? My husband didn't think we had enough proof to think other wise so again my dog for the last time went under Suzie's care while we left for Thailand 11 days. Suzie contacts my Husband via what's app to let him know her father passed,and she had to leave town and she's leaving our dog with her daughter.Now at this point we are concerned but we want to be sensitive towards her situation because I know how it feels to lose a parent, but Suzie failed to communicate with her daughter and with us, we did not even get a courtesy call or perhaps to ask if we were ok with this change, she tells us she's leaving our dog with her 23 year old daughter, that we never had any contact or communication with up until we dropped off my dog and she was Asked by her mother(Suzie) to come say hello. A couple of days go by and we have tried to contact Suzie via phone, text the business anywhere we possibly could email to see how our dog is doing, No response what so ever. I was having a anxiety attack and tried to book a flight back home from my birthday trip just so I can go get my dog and make sure she is still alive and well. I couldn't enjoy my trip nor did I want to stay anymore at that point. Long story short my cousins go to pick our dog two days before we are supposed to come back, because we couldn't book a flight without paying a extra $$800. While we are on FaceTime and my cousins are picking up my dog , the daughter of Suzie didn't even know which crate belonged to my dog, how could you not know something so simple which is where she was sleeping? Come to find out not only did Suzie leave and not have her daughter communicate with us she also thought it was ok for her daughter to sleep in a bed with my dog. No Suzie it is not ok, it is not ok for you to leave clients that pay you in advance worried and just leave without asking us if we are comfortable with this situation, your business is separate from your personal issues and as much as we are sorry for your loss, our dog is our family too and we expect the proper care you promise to serve and provide. I have attached a few text messages regarding this situation so you can see what type of responses we were getting and please yelpers do your research! A few good reviews doesn't assure safety and security anymore I'm afraid.

I have used Suzi for boarding approximately four times since my first review. The care she and her…read morefamily initially provided was excellent but there was a noticeable decline in attention to detail (I was sent home with the wrong toys, dishes, etc. or things were lost) and getting the correct items back required additional effort on my part (I re-purchased another harness, re-purchased a missing dish on the first occasion, and when yet another dish turned up missing, Suzi went with me and purchased a replacement set of dishes). On the last occasion my 9 year old dog was bitten on the ear and cheek by one of Suzi's dogs. Accidents happen but I wasn't informed of the incident until a day AFTER it occurred. Furthermore, she didn't take the initiative to take my dog to the vet to get checked that day (or the following day, for that matter). I did ask her to take my dog to the vet first thing Monday morning, which she did, and I also asked her to take my puppy to the same clinic to get her rabies shot. My older dog was examined and put on antibiotics. My puppy did not go to the clinic (okay, fine) but Suzi lost my puppy's vaccination records. This meant that I had to circle back to the person I adopted her from and get a copy of the records which was a hassle. Overall, I would prefer entrusting my dogs' care to someone I can trust to make the hard decisions I can't make when I am out of town. I need someone who will communicate with me in real-time regardless if the news is good or bad. Suzi lost my trust so I won't be utilizing her services anymore.
