I happen upon two dog walkers with a crew of dogs during one of my daily walks with my dog at Schenley Park. I asked them if I could have their contact information because all the dogs were calm, content, and can I say "happy." They gave me their Go Dog Go business cards. Sheileen meticulously interviewed myself and our dog. :) Our dog completed the orientation process that included multiple dog outings and she is now a "regular." Our dog is now calm, content, and happy and so am I (giggle). Our dog loves her new friends and and the outings. Sheileen innately knows the needs of my dog and has helped me give my dog her best life.

Because of their care, responsibility, dependability and love for Oliver. People always say to me that your dog is so well behaved, calm, happy and healthy. I attribute it to his experience with Go Dog Go because he has learned to interact with other dogs and new people plus he gets plenty of exercise which is so important to his well being. I can't recommend Go Dog Go enough.

They said absolutely if she had all her vaccinations which she does. We arrived and they were so nice to her and us. We were given a link to keep an eye on her throughout the day, she had so much fun but was a bit shy! They took her to eat with them making sure she had a bit extra care. When we arrived they brought her to us with a gift bag filled with toys and treats for her and us. We were told she had an amazing day and was welcome back any time. We asked about how to pay and they informed us her first day was free. We were absolutely speechless, it isn't very often that a business cares and truly appreciates our business. We were also impressed at how they loved each dog that walked I. As if they were their own. I will definitely be taking her there for many of the amenities and services they provide. A huge thank you for taking the time and loving what you all do.

I have stayed with her but now I cannot. I called the day before my appointment for my female Airedale terrier this week. She's raised her prices again and I wanted to know the price. She quoted me $85 which as a $20 jump but I accepted it. The morning of the appointment my girl came in with small burr seeds in her coat. I spent some time brushing her legs and belly as well as beard to remove the bulk of them, her torso too but it is quite short cut. My dogs are very active but given the dry hot weather (and fact I've showered them numerous times to cool them off) she was not that dirty since there's no mud to get into as she loves to do. I dropped her off with clipping instructions to take her a bit shorter on her legs. When I arrived to pick her up I was charged $107. This is the second time with has been done to me and this time it was a slap in the face given I called the day before for the price. (I was charged $20 extra another time for my boy which I thought was slimy business practices. Dogs are dirty, groomers clean dogs. That's your business, right?) I protested the extra charge. The girl said "I talked to Rachel, had to bath her twice and she was matted). Bull. She was not matted as I brushed her before I brought her. She shouldn't have needed two baths if she was bathed properly the first time. And she says the new cut took longer. If you don't know a proper groom for an Airedale that is your problem. You are dog groomers who should know your business. And she nicked Mina's private parts in the process. I met a woman right after at another groomers I stopped at on the way home who also used to go the GT with Jen but found Rachel's grooming skills and professionalism lacking. Long story short. I'm done. I will not go back. You're a business owner but won't be for long at this rate, Rachel. Ps. I just got off the phone with Rachel. Although I was told the additional bathe I was charged extra now is standard - she said and I quote 'we bath all dogs twice; b) that the $85 was just a 'base price' so any additional charges- beware! They can charge what they like. And then she hung up on me.

I first looked into Walkers Pet Ho Tail after we "tried" to get our dog Bella, who is a rescue,…read moregroomed at a local PetSmart. Being a rescue dog you can't be absolutely sure what happened to her, except we know she was not treated well. Being armed with this we told the groomers that she may get irritated. Well she did, and they were not super helpful in coming up with a solution. I recommended using a muzzle and they refused. Seemed to me that that's not a very good practice and should be used for both the dog and the groomers safety if a dog is upset. What that left us was a half groomed dog. I called Walkers to find out how they handle dogs who aren't super excited about spa days and was told they handle a lot of irritable dogs and rescue animals. I asked about the muzzle and they said they do use them which relieved me as the other groomers kept saying she was trying to bite the clippers. They charge roughly $65.00 but that is for the works, bath, cut, teeth, nails, ECT. They do require a $30 deposit when booking simply because they have had their share of no shows. Bella has now been to their groomers a few times. She is still difficult to groom and they have asked us to have her vet prescribe something to calm her down. Even after giving her, what in essence was Xanax, she was still irritable per the groomer on her last visit, but she sure was happy when it was over! I am overall satisfied with our visits. They are able to completely trim here and make her look more professional...

I was going to another vet in the city and getting charged $95 just for being seen for 10 minutes. The tech fee is half of that here. There's a large parking lot. And they're quick. My dog has come here for her regular vaccines, the vaccine clinics, her annuals, and when she's not feeling well. I've had a few administrative issues with email/contact information so that could use a little work. Otherwise, I love coming here. I can't say the same for my dog, because every time she comes she has to step on a scary scale and/or get poked. But this is to be expected!

Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh (HARP) is a nonprofit that operates veterinary medical centers…read more(mostly for preventative care and NOT for emergencies), a shelter, and a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. This location in the East Side of Pittsburgh has a veterinary center and a shelter and also offers obedience training classes. In the past several years, I have visited this HARP many times. In 2015, I adopted two cats from the shelter (for details, please see my previous review below). These two cats still happily live with my family and me. Most recently, I donated several bags of pet supplies to this shelter. HARP collects new and gently used pet supplies for Ellie's Attic, which then gives the supplies to families who have pets and are financially struggling. I dropped off dog beds, cat beds, dog bowls, disposable diapers, a sweater, a training bell, etcetera. I placed the bags near the entrance inside the building. An employee at the front desk kindly thanked me for my donation and asked if I needed a donation receipt. Next, I asked the employee if I could visit the dogs who are available for adoption. Unfortunately, the dogs could not be visited on that day, but I was allowed to view a binder that contained printed descriptions of the dogs. I did visit the cats, and I felt pleased with the size and cleanliness of their cages.

I am extremely disappointed with the grooming service my two Golden Retrievers received here…read more When I dropped my dogs off, I was very clear about what I wanted. I asked for their coats to be trimmed as short as they could safely go because they have double coats, but I specifically and clearly stated that I did NOT want them shaved and I wanted their double coats to be safe. When I picked my dogs up, I was shocked by how short their body coats had been taken. Their coats were left extremely short and very uniform across the body. My issue is not simply that I didn't like the haircut. I understand that grooming involves some interpretation. My issue is that I specifically communicated a limitation -- short, but not shaved. There is also a reason owners of double-coated breeds are often advised against shaving or taking their coats extremely short. A Golden Retriever's double coat serves important functions beyond appearance. The outer coat helps protect the skin from environmental exposure, while the undercoat provides insulation. Removing too much of that coat can reduce the dog's natural protection from sun exposure and temperature extremes, increase the risk of sunburn and skin irritation, and in some dogs the coat may grow back unevenly or with a different texture. It can also remove the natural protective barrier that helps protect the skin from dirt, insects and other environmental irritants. That is precisely why I made a point of telling the groomer that I did not want my dogs shaved. I expected a professional groomer to understand the risks associated with taking a double-coated breed extremely short and to respect the limitation I gave them. I called the business to ask what had been done. Instead of having someone calmly explain the grooming process, the groomer was rude and dismissive and essentially responded with, "So what's the issue?" And the groomer denied shaving them completely. I ultimately asked to speak with the owner because I did not feel my concern was being handled appropriately. The owner did eventually call me and apologized, which I appreciated. However, when I requested a partial refund, the owner refused. Instead, I was offered 50% off another grooming appointment for each dog. I don't feel that offering me a discount on a future service addresses the problem with the service I already paid for. I also don't appreciate being told that the owner has "never had anyone ask for a refund before" as though that somehow invalidates my request. Please look at the photographs and make your own decision. I would strongly recommend being extremely specific about what you want and making sure the groomer understands exactly how much coat you are authorizing them to remove. $190 spent, an unwanted haircut, no refund, and no confidence that I would receive the service I requested if I returned. Below is a before and after of my dog..

The *only* issue is that it can be difficult to get a quick appointment, so they are just not a great option for urgent needs. But I come here for all basic wellness and vaccine needs!

We flipped through binders that described the available dogs. We did not see any dogs that were a perfect fit for our household, so we did not arrange to meet any. My husband and I did walk around and look at the rooms. The animals appeared to be living in good conditions and to be happy and healthy.
