This wasn't necessary because my dog isn't even a patient at this vet but they chose to try and help in any way that they could. I really appreciate them taking the time to advise me on my corn cob conundrum. It speaks to the care and compassion they have ever for pets who aren't their normal patients

***WARNING*** Please if you have pets that go to Muddy…read moreCreek PLEASE consider going somewhere else. Muddy Creek, specifically Dr. Leibert, misdiagnosed and mistreated my little Maxwell. You are just a number there and the care is not there. Dr. Leibert couldn't figure out that Maxwell had pneumonia even though he had the blood work, X-rays, and every symptom that SHOWED he had it. Yet, hundreds and hundreds of dollars spent for Muddy Creek to be perplexed on what was wrong with him and be told there is nothing more they could do you'll have to make an appt with internal medicine. I know this because we got a second opinion and the vet knew right away after looking at Muddy Creeks records, blood work and xrays and symptoms that he had pneumonia. Unfortunately, likely due to the poor care at Muddy Creek Maxwell passed away May 4th. I write to you all not to be vindictive but to provide insight and my experience with Muddy Creek and to prevent another family and animal from going through what my family.

However, all my anxieties faded away when I arrived and talked with Dale. She showed dogs for many years and now boards dogs in her former show kennel - which is the lower story of her house. This is a person who loves dogs and has vast experience with them. I can't imagine a better place for a safe and happy "camp" experience for your pet. Thank you Dale and all the staff at Camp Bridlewood! (P.S. I forgot to bring home Winnie's bowl and without asking, Dale wrapped it up and mailed it home to me - the frosting on the cake!)

As soon as we pull into the parking lot, one starts barking excitedly and lunges toward the door when I take her out of the car. When we go through the entrance, they run over to the great folks that work there, tails wagging like crazy. It didn't use to be this way...One of my dogs (the lunger) had a bad experience with boarding elsewhere, and it took a few years before she stopped displaying extremely anxious behavior when left in other people's care, even in a new place. She's quirky and often misunderstood, but the folks at BF were patient and brought her back out of her shell. Now she can't get enough time there! We have been coming to BF Boxford for at least 5 years now, and it's wonderful knowing that we can go away and our beloved dogs will be in great hands. The people working there appear to really love animals, which, IMHO, is the most important quality to look for in a boarder. The grooming is awesome too!

Astrocats is basically feline heaven: clean with cute individual condos; thoughtfully designed to meet any "guest's" desire to mingle, play, or enjoy a quiet nap; and just plain adorable with funky space-age design, decor, and toys in every cat-friendly nook and cranny. It's clear a lot of love and personal attention goes into this business and those lucky enough to be staying there. We also couldn't get enough of Alissa's awesome Instagram updates throughout the week! (Her posts deserve a much bigger audience--check 'em out even if your cat isn't a current guest.) We'll definitely bring our kitty there the next time we go away.

We used to take our very elderly cat Skeezix there, when she was still with us…read more She had kidney problems, liver problems and thyroid problems, and a heart murmur. Basically, she was a sweet but feisty bag of fur. We started boarding her during our vacations when she got to where she couldn't afford to miss her meds (she wouldn't always allow the cat sitters to catch her). The first think I noticed walking up to the cat boarding area was the total lack of cat smell. It was super-clean, and the cats there all looked well cared-for and reasonably content. They have different kennels for active kitties (more room, more stuff to climb on), and for special needs kitties (enough room, but all on one level). They took such great care of her. The her out to play daily, and let her sit in a special window box so she could watch birds (heck, you can rent a tv for your cat and let it watch videos if you want), and one tech in particular would always try lots of different treats to see what they could get her to eat - and would give us a list of what she liked. I highly recommend the place - even if your cat doesn't need medical care, it's a great facility.

Some of the staff took her for walks in a small garden with a leash my parents provided. When they picked her up after their emergency trip they heard about the wonderful time that their cat had while staying at the inn. Several years later, my husband and I adopted a cat with some health problems. We recently had to travel and knew we couldn't find anyone to care for out cat for an entire week, so we arranged for him to stay at the Cat Tail Inn. We were initially afraid of leaving him at the inn as we'd never kennelled him before, but that staff assured us he'd be well taken care of and that they'd call us if they needed us. Upon embarking on our return-trip we were informed that one of our flights would be delayed, so I called the Inn to tell the staff my mother would be coming to pick up our cat a day early. The staff I spoke to said they had enjoyed caring for our cat and gushed at how well behaved he had been. The staff person I spoke to said that our cat's primary care provider would really miss our cat as she enjoyed patting, holding, and playing with him. When we arrived at my mother's house to pick up our cat we were happily reunited with a very relaxed and happy cat. I know that he was relaxed and happy as a result of the wonderful and thoughtful care he received at the Cat Tail Inn at Muddy Creek.
