We had a geriatric pet some years back, and they actually taught him (an old dog) a new trick while my wife and I were out of town. Now that I have retired from 22 years of active duty military service, I was blessed to be awarded a legitimate (lots of training, and from a good bloodline) Golden Retriever service dog. While she can legally go with me pretty much anywhere in the US, if my wife and I travel to remote locations (such as only accessible by small sea plane/helicopter) due to weight constraints and cabin size, we can't bring our "golden girl". Internationally, some countries don't recognize service dogs as well. So Dog Daze has us covered, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. The only downside is that if you do things last minute, you absolutely won't be able to use them as a resource, because responsible people, who love their dog more than you, planned ahead (sarcasm). On a serious note, plan early, but they can possibly accommodate emergency situations if it's not a busy holiday, especially if your pets shots/vaccines are already in their system. For active duty/veterans they offer 10% off. We really are fortunate to have DD as a Columbia resource, when immediate family or friends aren't able to.

We knew we needed to have our pets in the comfort of their home with someone to feed and exercise them. It's nice to have family and friends to help, but you also don't want to inconvenience them. This is where Dawn from All Fur the Luv of Paws came into the picture. After meeting her during the consultation, we felt very comfortable leaving our babies with her, which we did. She was very thorough and was also in constant contact with us during our vacation. One of our dogs is a picky eater and she went out of her way to try anything to make him eat. We are happy to announce that we did not come home to skin and bones this time around. Lastly, we have cameras in the house, but it was nice to get picture updates via text messages regarding whether they ate, about their walks, etc. We used to worry about our dogs when we would go on vacations, but not anymore. We will now use Dawn to watch our babies and would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Gone is the dog who strained against the grasp of anyone who wasn't me...she leaps into the arms of every PPC team member the moment we walk in for daycare and gives me a "see ya later" glance as I wave goodbye.

My dog loves camp and they know him by name. He pretty much lets himself in through the doors when…read morewe get there! And, he's always super tired when I pick him up. The socialization and play piece is wonderful. I have used the boarding and day camp frequently over the last few years. I have also gotten the exit bath a few times. I like that there is always a Camp Counselor (human) in the room when I check on my dog via the web cams during day camp. I agree with other reviewers in that it sometimes seems like the Camp Counselors are not interacting with the dogs. You can see them on the web cams leaning over the fencing apparatus and facing away from the dogs. Nevertheless, my dog must enjoy camp since he always comes home so tired. The exit baths have been fine, but I do prefer the baths from my usual groomer. I feel like they are always trying to up-sell you on the exit bath. Either way, in-house baths are a convenient option and I'm glad they are available. I appreciate that the staff is communicative. If they don't answer the phone when you call them, they will call back. My dog did get mild kennel cough-type symptoms a few times after camp when he was younger. I always figured this was pretty much unavoidable in boarding situations. It's not been a problem as he's gotten older. My biggest criticism is re: the pricing. Prices went up significantly at the beginning of the year. For example, one night of boarding without a package was $35 and now it's $42. I know this because their old prices are still posted online as of the writing of this review (http://www.campbowwow.com/columbia-sc/services-pricing/dog-boarding). I feel that they should either honor what's posted online or change the online posting. After looking around online, I saw that other franchises increased their prices as well but several had posted notices online on their price page so that pet owners could buy packages before the prices increased. I wish I had been notified of the upcoming price increase, as I would have taken advantage of such an opportunity. In fact, I didn't find out about the price increase until I picked my dog up from boarding one weekend. At this time, the prices weren't actually posted anywhere (they are usually on a framed printed off piece of paper next to the front desk). I understand that prices have to go up from time to time, but some communication around the price changes should have happened. I have also noticed some changing faces among the staff. Before the prices increased, there were a few employees who always seemed very attentive and approachable. However, they don't seem to be there anymore. Some of the newer staff, while still friendly, just don't seem to have the same levels of love and enthusiasm for the job as previous staff.

Excellent service, kind and knowledgeable staff. I was very anxious about raising this puppy on my own but every time I visit Griffin I feel reassured and confident. I had Harry neutered elsewhere, but when I saw him trying to lick his stitches I called Griffin and Dr. Callaghan and company saw me right away - provides a cone and medication at low cost, and checked Harry out to make sure he was OK. I have used their boarding services which were quite cheap ($13 fir the day) and Harry always enjoys being there. Dr. Callaghan is wonderful and enthusiastic and helpful - I wouldn't have anyone else take care of Harry. Same with the staff! Their faculties are clean and modern, very pleasant, and there are kindly resident dogs whom Harry is friends with. Would most definitely recommend, if you want a high quality, responsive, personal, and affordable vet!

To be clear I left Griffin Animal Hospital over a year ago and could not be happier to have done…read moreso. I am writing this review now because I went to my new vet(Cat Clinic) the other day and had a wonderful, easy, affordable experience, and it made me write this review. First issue is the never ending "required tests" stool tests, bloodwork, and other things. They make you do them or at least made me every single time I came in regardless of the issue. This of course ran the bill up every single time to around $600-$700 dollars. Second issue was Dr. Griffins attitude. She couldn't be more abrasive if she tried and I always tried to be nice but I always got the feeling she seemed to feel like she was wasting her time talking to me. She was condescending and definitely didn't respect or care about my time. The final straw was when she said she tried to have me bring in another stool sample only two weeks after a prior visit just to get anxiety meds. It's literally 30% a scam to earn extra money. Lastly for example the Cat Clinic for a yearly check up was only $250 with two vaccines, Flea Meds for 2 cats, and anxiety meds. Which is the primary reason for writing this as I do feel I have been overcharged by Griffin for years. The Cat Clinic has never asked for a stool sample and they ask if I'd like to bloodwork which they don't recommend unless there's a concern. Goodluck with Griffin Animal Hospital if you don't believe me.
