I chose Garden City Park Animal Hospital when I adopted my cats because Dr. Dattner had always been…read morekind to my family's dogs when i was growing up (~20 years ago), and was not disappointed. Scheduling an appointment has always been pretty easy, and the front desk staff have always been very nice/helpful to me. After adopting my formerly feral girl, i was a frequent flyer for a few months with prep, surgery, and after care visits, and they were always willing and able to answer my questions regarding prescriptions and payments. Most recently, I saw Dr. Lotus Altholtz, who was very kind and gentle to my 2 nervous cats (though my cats might complain that she wants me to cut back on their treats a bit). The biggest stars though, are the assistants (nurses ?) who help keep my 2 calm and on the table during exams. They are all very friendly, and help put both my cats and me, a very nervous first time cat owner, at ease. Sometimes appointment waits run a little long, but its a small price to pay, and they are certainly more timely than any of my doctors! I would definitely recommend using them as your vet!

I used Naomi and James' service for over a year for my 2 cats, with frequent visits, multiple times…read moreper month, as I often spend weekends upstate. I was new to the area and sold by the good reviews, as well as a close family member who had used their service for *decades*. My experiences started out great--they have several people who do the visits and I only met one of them, but he did great with my cats and was clearly an experienced pet person. This was never an issue. There were a few bumps, like when I asked for my plants to be watered, and they said that it "wasn't necessary" since I would only be gone for 2 days, but I know my plants, and of course I come back to them wilted. But the cats were fine and they even used the hand-vac to clean up extra litter around the box, so I was fine letting small things like that slide for the sake of a consistent relationship with a small business who did a perfectly fine job for the premium ($43 per "30 minute" visit) which they charge. I was just glad to have consistent and readily available cat care to trust when I went away. I like to think I've always been an easy to deal with client, having super friendly and low-maintenance cats, a clean apartment (leaving the A/C on for days when I'm away in the summer), giving plenty of notice when booking visits, paying well in advance, and leaving all supplies neatly on counter. Over the last several months I'd noticed several inconsistencies with what I'd come home to find after being away--the most disturbing being both the cat's water fountains completely dry after 4 visits in January. This could've been a life or death situation if I didn't come back when I did, but nothing like this had ever happened before with them, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt if this being a one-off and didn't mention it. I always fill water fountains before I leave, and water they take several days to run completely dry--the steam gets lower for a day, and then goes out. This means to be left DRY, the only explanation is that the water fountains were not checked or refilled for several days in a row. After coming back from a weekend trip 2 weeks ago, I noticed several more inconsistencies, things which I've addressed with them before, and decided to send an email mentioning these, and finally deciding to mention the water fountain incident. My intention if this email was a tone of appropriate concern over these building inconsistencies, and really just needing and expecting to receive a reply like "so sorry this happened, we will be sure to be mindful with future visits when addressing the issues you've mentioned for future visits". Instead, they clearly took my comments very personally and replied very quickly saying that I clearly didn't trust them and they were going to mail me my keys and not come back. I was pretty shocked at the lack of professionalism and impulsive reactivity of this response, so I replied with another long email apologizing if I offended them, explaining that the reason I'm mentioning these things was because I DO (did) trust them and just wanted to ensure the same quality of care I've been paying for since the he beginning. With the water issue, the brushed it off saying that it was over a month ago so how were they supposed to remember what happened (this lack of response only validated my concerns). The screwed up thing is that after these defensive and unprofessional responses, I basically ended up begging them to stay, if for no other reason than I had booked them for this coming weekend, paid in advance, and would now have to scramble for last minute coverage or cancel my plans entirely. Additionally, my cats, like most pets take time to get used to new people, and hiring someone new causes them (and me) unnecessary stress. I don't like leaving anything less than a 5 star review for deserving small businesses, and unlike Naomi from Pet Sitter's Club, chose to wait and make sure I was level-headed and not emotionally reacting before posting my experience. All in all, Pet Sitter's Club provides adequate care for a premium fee as long as you don't provide any feedback that can potentially be perceived as criticism, don't expect consistent service, and don't want to feel valued as a customer. Now that they've showed their true colors, it's clear I should not have given Naomi and James my trust for as long as I did.

Cookie was loving but she had a TERRIBLE nipping problem (along with other issues). She had gone through 2 trainers already and nothing was working. With a 7 year old child in the house, Cookie spent most of her time in her crate. I just could not risk my daughter accidentally getting hurt. Cookie went with Danny for 4 weeks and she came back a whole new dog. Before Danny, cookie was never allowed to roam the house. I am forever grateful for Danny's patience. He would send me updates, pictures and videos on Cookies progress. He even followed up with another lesson to show my dad how to properly handle Cookie at home. Thank you Danny! You saved Cookie.

My seven year old mini schnauzer had always been a nervous dog, and it only got worse once we moved…read morefrom the city to the suburbs: he was anxiously alert, became wary of all strangers, and began nipping at and biting people, and was very overprotective of me and of the house. I contacted Michael after a recommendation from our vet, who herself had noticed the escalating change in my dog. Michael was a god send! Not only does he really know and love dogs, but he's a great teacher. He was great at helping me understand the way dogs think and taught me what I needed to do in order to better command my dog and give him the boundaries, direction, and leadership he needed to feel more calm and confident. Not only did my dog LOVE our sessions with Michael (he would even wait for him by the door when he knew he had "school"), but he learned very quickly and is now a LOT calmer over all. Situations that were once stressful and even sometimes dangerous for us are now calm and much better controlled, and we can resume normal life activities again. Michael taught me to understand what my dog needs from ME, so that I can get better behavior from and provide a happier and calmer life for HIM. That being said, remember that dog training involves training the owner in order to train the dog, so you also have to put in the work! Just calling Michael and not doing any of the training on your own between sessions will not solve anything! Additionally, Michael is very professional and kind, is quick to respond to questions or problems via text, email, and phone, and is very flexible with his scheduling (we did the private in-home sessions). He takes the time to address all your concerns, and always aims to use safe and positive reinforcement training methods, rather than other trainers I had researched that use methods that include things like shock collars and consequence-based training, which I personally did not prefer to use for my dog if I could avoid it. Calling Michael was the best thing I could have ever done for my dog, and for my family as well. I can't say enough about how great our experience was with Michael! I would highly recommend him!

I have been taking my dog, Chloe, to the PetSmart grooming salon at this location for over two…read moreyears, and she has always been groomed by Desai. From her very first appointment, I was always happy with the quality of the grooming and never had any concerns. During our last visit in March, there was unfortunately an accident. After bringing Chloe home, I noticed her toes were bleeding. I immediately called the salon, and Desai asked me to bring her back so she could apply a powder to stop the bleeding. The following day, I also noticed a cut on Chloe's ear that had formed a clot. I called again to let them know, and I was told it should heal on its own. They apologized and offered me a 25% discount on Chloe's next grooming appointment. At no point did I make a big issue out of what happened because I understand that accidents can happen, especially when working with animals. I appreciated the apology, accepted that mistakes happen, and fully intended to continue bringing Chloe there. Four months later, when I tried to schedule Chloe's next appointment online, the website gave me an error instructing me to call the salon instead. When I called, the groomers told me they weren't sure why but that they could no longer groom my dog. After speaking with the manager, I was told it was because Chloe had "conflicts with multiple groomers." This was both shocking and untrue, considering Chloe had been groomed by the same groomer for over two years and had never had issues before. What is most disappointing isn't the accident itself, it's how the situation was handled afterward. Instead of taking responsibility for the injuries Chloe sustained while in their care, the salon chose to shift the blame onto my dog and refuse future service. Rather than having an honest conversation, they created a narrative that made it seem as though Chloe was the problem. For a large company like PetSmart, I expected much more professionalism, accountability, and integrity. Loyal customers who have trusted you with their pets for years deserve honesty and respect, not excuses or blame. It feels incredibly unfair that after standing by them and understanding that accidents happen, I was ultimately punished for something that wasn't my dog's fault. This experience completely changed my opinion of this location. The accident could have been forgiven, but the lack of accountability and the way I was treated afterward cannot. I hope PetSmart takes situations like this more seriously and ensures that long-time customers are treated with the fairness, transparency, and respect they deserve.
