This was…read morethe first time we used "Almost Home" and we were very nervous; but we could not be more pleased. The staff was great, the establishment was so clean, the price was great and the best part our baby was happy. While we were gone they sent pictures of him playing and having a good time. This was a great comfort to us. We will definitely use "Almost Home" again for boarding and day camp. Thank you to the staff for making this a very great experience for our fur baby and us. I highly recommend to all the doating fur baby parents!

Their Puppy Prep program has been so great for him and myself as a dog-owner newbie. The Puppy Prep program is seriously too good of an offer to pass up! Your pup can attend every day, Tuesday through Friday, between 7am-6pm until they're 20 weeks old. The trainers work with your puppy to help them learn potty training, kennel training, leash training, basic commands, and obedience! AND!! This program includes bi-weekly Wednesday night group training sessions!!! Seriously - this program couldn't be any better! The trainers and owners are SO nice and SO GREAT with the dogs. They go above and beyond. Ember's trainer hadn't worked with a Catahoula Leopard dog before so she *researched* the breed so she could better understand his needs and then she tailored his training to his needs and learning style!! How amazing is that?! Check. Them. Out!!! PS - does anyone know how I can keep my dog from aging because I never want him to age out of this program!!!

This is ridiculous. I can't pay $250 at City line for just a spay. Tried using it takes a village got one cat done but this cat went into heat 2 days before appt and they screwed me over so it cost 230 for my other cat plus they snatch your pet to go into who knows where give them back kick you out basically my cat was not my cat for weeks.

We just recently had our 4th grooming session. When I went to pick up our dog, I was told the fee was increased to $65. I wasn't told this before the grooming session but after which I didn't think was right. When I asked why, the groomer told me my dog was not a mini goldendoodle but a standard size poodle. No way he isn't close to a standard size poodle. Was also told that the last time or two he was hard to groom around his head areas but he wouldn't hold still. We will NOT be going back there. If should have been told of the increase and why before the grooming session. The groomers reason for not telling us before was and I quote- "you probably would have walked out if I told you before" Very very unprofessional in my opinion.

Thx in advance and feel free to keep the above as part of my review. I was recommended to come here YEARS ago (1999). I had three cats (Prelude, Gismo and Nala) and they were all treated with compassion on each visit. Please note, I no longer have the first cat (an old friend took him) or third cat (in heaven), so the rest of this review is for Gismo only. I moved out-of-state back in 2010, therefore had to find a new vet for him (side note: flying Gismo was probably stressful). I've been to 5-6 vets out here (i.e. annual checkups, shots and once for Cali's crappy flea infestation/deworming treatments) and so far they've all been either rude, uncaring and/or aggressive. I know most people would say their pet is the best, but my baby Gismo IS the sweetest being one could ever meet (EVERYONE - including those who hate cats or even allergic to cats - love him)! So you can imagine how I felt when he's not getting the attention he is used to and deserves. Another side note: Gismo is currently sick at 15 years of age and I believe I finally found a comparable place to ACC so I'm thankful (hopefully he gets better asap). WHY DO I GIVE SUCH A HIGH/GOOD RATING? In November 2014, I decided to DRIVE 2,000+ miles back to IL (avoiding another plane ride for him since I know he actually likes car rides) so he could have a visit with my great vet in Rock Island, IL! That speaks volumes for this company and I want others there to understand how lucky you all are!!! I did not know they changed owners, nor did I read posts on here beforehand and during my visit NOTHING HAD CHANGED (I did not notice any difference from all the years I had been there). They took pix of Gismo with their winter scenery and even mailed me the prints, too! I love this place and highly recommend it. Thx for taking the time to read my Yelp review.
