Dr. Grossman is wonderful however the surgeon didn't give us a cone which we needed after spay…read moresurgery!! We had to buy one the next day because our cat kept licking the wound. Truly unreal that a cone wasn't provided! ALSO it must be known by whomever runs this place that your receptionists except for Randi and Lauren are lacking severely in customer service i.e. empathy, kindness and patience. The younger short haired blonde is rude and so are the other girls. Very disappointing. I'd rather drive to Virginia than encounter this lack of empathy again.

Dr. Jay and his staff were super helpful and went well beyond the call of duty to help us, liaising with our "regular" vet, double checking with the agencies that the approvals had been issued and sent to the correct address, and keeping us informed at all stages of the process. We also got some excellent travel tips on top, all of which contributed to a smooth journey, despite the logistical complications / not flying from our home town. Thank you and we hope to be back when in OBX next time!

We found ourselves in a situation where were not planning on bringing our puppy on vacation but…read moreended up having to. We didn't know what to do and were beside ourselves. Enter Ocean Sands. Pam helped me book the reservation, and find the best price for us (it turned out that paying for boarding was cheaper than paying hourly, even though we didn't end up leaving our puppy overnight). We dropped the puppy off every morning (a 9-minute drive from where we are staying in Kill Devil Hills). She would hang out with Pam and Paul all day, then they would drive her back to us (Pet Taxi service) every evening. It saved our vacation! Our dog was so happy to see Pam and Paul every morning, which attests to the care and attention they gave her. This is a different kind of doggy daycare - the dogs don't play with each other but have separate, well-spaced kennels and are let out for play times every so often. My dog came back rested, hydrated, and she even ate while she was there (which is a huge shocker). Normally at regular doggy daycares, she will run herself into the ground and stop eating/drinking because she just wants to play all day. So this worked perfectly for us. Thanks, Pam and Paul!

We left our two dogs here for 6 days during our vacation. The process to book was very thorough…read more The two owners were super friendly. However, the first day they told us that the dogs were doing great -no issues. The second day the wife told us she actually doesn't interact with the dogs so we spoke to her husband. He told us the dogs actually ate for the first time the previous night. Even though we're aware dogs might not eat right away, we just thought it was strange it wasn't mentioned initially. Other than that, things were fine. When we picked up our dogs, I immediately noticed our older one had a TERRIBLE smell. When we got home I checked his ears and his right ear was bright red and filled with dark residue. Our vet tech cousin confirmed Oliver had a yeast infection that was about 3/4 days old. They never mentioned this to us. So we found this a little concerning as they didn't interact with the dog enough to notice because simply standing next to him you could smell it OR they did and just didn't mention it for no liability.

She had been abused and either abandoned or ran away. She was found wth a deep head wound that left her mostly bald and had several gashes around her neck. With some love and tlc she finally has a full head of hair but sadly her deep gashes (which my vet deemed most likely the result of battery acid burns, used as a baiting method in fighting dogs) still remain on her neck. She is so full of love and energy and a completely wonderful dog. I'm so glad this shelter found her and took care of her before me. When I was at the shelter, they provided cots in the dogs' pens for them so sleep on and kept the animals well hydrated in the summer heat. There is a nice play area for volunteers and potential adopters to spend time with the dogs. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. Overall I thought this shelter did an amazing job. Thank you for everything!
