When I called to ask about what had happened, they told me they had "tried to call but accidentally entered in the phone number I had given into the computer wrong. Oopsie." A bunch of young adults work here who don't actually care for your canine. Please for the sake of your dog avoid at all costs!!!!!!

Highly HIGHLY recommend these folks for any grooming needed for your doggo.

I contemplated reviewing this and keeping my opinion to myself but if what I feel like happened is…read moreremotely true it needs to be shared for others to be wary. Ever since 2019 my dog has been staying at BJs and typically adores it there. I even let a five star review several years ago. Upon his last stay late May 2024 he acted very different upon pick up. He was kenneled for roughly 4 days and once he saw familiar family faces he almost took the door down to get out. He had a bath (& usually typically does) the last day before pick up and I'm led to believe he had to lay in his own filth during his entire stay as he had his first ever UTI (he is 6). He peed in the truck on the way home, peed in the house around 6 more times back to back the same day and he has not EVER done that (not since he was a puppy potty training). I always opt to pay $5 daily for him to have a raised pet bed & the largest bedroom suite but I feel he was NOT given that considering he acquired a uti. He wasn't let out enough or he just laid there in filth. I felt in my gut as a doggy mommy (& mommy of twin tots) when he was picked up that he was mistreated while he was there and I will never bring him back. It's unfortunate we have to go this route with BJs but I can't risk it happening again. EDITED TO ADD: I did try to call BJs 3-4 times that day and even the next day for answers & nobody ever answered or called me back. In the past I usually would always get a return call from BJs from a nice girl and didn't even have to leave a voicemail for her to call me back. No longer the case. It seems this establishment is going downhill fast due to careless staff.

This was our family vet years and years ago, and we stopped going because our concerns were ignored…read moreand our pets suffered for it. A few months ago, our elderly dog began seizing, and literally no other vet in town would see us except for this one. No need to make an appointment, just pull up and let them handle the rest. I was relieved to learn that they had a whole new staff, and at the moment everything seemed all right. Unfortunately, our little old lady passed away in their care, though I believe it was likely her time and they had tried their hardest to save her. Wednesday, December 8th, our regular vet who is located 45 minutes away performed a spay and mass removal on one of our cats. Around 6pm, she ripped out a staple and began bleeding and within an hour, she was stretched out on the floor, moaning and shivering. Our vet does not take emergency calls so we reached out to the last people who had helped us, assuming we could be seen especially given that they're 10 minutes up the road and all of their social media states that they're available 24 hours a day. That was the first lie. The woman who answered the phone could not have been in a bigger rush to hang up. She repeatedly asked if we were clients and I explained that they had treated our dog so we should still be in their files. She offered to page the after-hours vet then cut herself off and told me to call the "emergency number" instead. She was referring to the veterinary school at Mississippi State. When I pointed out that that's out of town and that we live right down the road from her, she interrupted with, "Oh, no, they're in Columbus." That was the second lie. As a tech working in a vet's office who regularly gives out referrals, I would expect her to know where they're located. I did call the number she gave me, and after getting nowhere, I called her back intending to ask that she page the vet since I now knew one was available. She picked up, waited a beat, gave the loudest, most dramatic sigh, then put me on hold without saying a word. I then had to explain the situation to a second tech who had no problem taking my number and having the vet on call contact me. I then of course had to explain for a third time what was happening and ultimately was told that it was most likely a bad reaction to either the anesthesia or the painkillers and to get ahold of our regular vet in the morning. If it weren't for the fact that it looks like our baby is going to be okay, I would give this place absolutely zero stars. I truly believe that the doctors are good people, and that means a lot, but at least one member of their staff needs a swift, hard kick in the ass. You have no business working in this industry with such a disrespectful attitude. How they manage to book patients with that woman handling the phone, I have no clue. It's also wrong to advertise that you are open all day, every day when you apparently close the doors at 7pm to anyone who isn't a "current client." Change your hours, discipline your staff.

Brought our beloved dog to the Village Animal Hospital who was limping with a sore paw. He was…read moreseen by Dr. Camille Comer. She sedated him and x-rayed with my husband's approval. She then, without our notice and approval cut into our dog's paw. After this she did not wrap it and he contracted a severe staphylococcus infection that threatened the loss of his paw. When our dog was returned to us the wound in his paw was not sanitized or wrapped and was visibly swollen 3 times its normal size. We could tell he was not doing well and immediately took him to a different vet for to hopefully safe his paw and probably his life. This 2nd vet did a culture and confirmed the staph infection and immediately disinfected and wrapped his paw and started our dog on antibiotics 3 shots a day for a month costing us over $1,500 so far. We are so disappointed in Dr Comer and the Village Animal Hospital. They have yet to even call and check on the status of our pet. Even after I called them to let them know how bad he was doing. After years of being patrons of this clinic, we will never return.

I recently helped a friend by taking her senior dog to this clinic for a dental procedure. She had…read morecalled ahead to confirm that someone else could drop him off, and was told that would be fine. No one mentioned anything about needing paperwork filled out in advance. To be safe, she went to the clinic in person before the appointment to ask what else needed to be done. That's when they gave her the required paperwork. Which I suppose they were expecting me to do, had she not double checked in advance. When I arrived to drop off her dog with the completed forms, things felt disorganized. The staff didn't immediately realize I wasn't the owner, and at one point, someone even tried to hand me more forms to fill out, even though it wasn't my dog. One staff member eventually said something like, "Oh, right, the owner isn't dropping him off today," which made it clear that communication among the team wasn't great. Then, because the dog is older, I was asked to approve a $165 blood panel. I told them I wasn't sure and that the owner would have to confirm. My friend had previously been told that recent bloodwork had already been done and that no new testing would be necessary. She followed up right away (15 minutes later to be exact) and was given conflicting information. First, they said there was no bloodwork on file, then that it wasn't recent enough, and finally that it had to be within 1 month (after she had been told 1-2 months). She had the original records faxed over, but was told they still weren't acceptable. She was also supposed to get a call from the vet to discuss the bloodwork and procedure before anything moved forward, but that call never came. Had she received it, she likely would have canceled the appointment due to the unexpected charge. The final bill ended up being over $400, when she was originally expecting around $230 for just a dental cleaning and nail trim. She only found out her dog was ready because the clinic called her mom, not her. And when she picked him up and tried to address these concerns, she was handed a letter stating that she was no longer welcome at the clinic. This was a stressful and disappointing experience caused by a lack of communication, unclear policies, and inconsistent information. I wouldn't recommend this clinic. Save yourself the stress and go somewhere that communicates clearly and respects its clients' time and money.
