Makes you wonder what goes on behind the scenes when one is NOT around! I grabbed the dog's leash from Dodie's hands, hightailed it out of there and never returned. FYI, I was the night manager at a dog spa/hotel for 4 years and I would have been fired if I had displayed the unprofessional and hurtful behavior shown by this owner. You've been warned. Oh, forgot to mention an earlier incident at this establishment . . . months prior to the above altercation, I picked up my pup to discover he had a bloody cut on his left leg. It was a pretty obvious wound. When I asked what happened you could hear a pin drop. They had no idea. Do they not inspect the dogs for injuries during the day or at least prior to handing them back to their owners? I should have known then that there was something going on behind the scenes right then and there.

Hi, I'm the "tiktoker" one of the reviews warned you about. I worked at DDH for a month and half…read more Was very excited because I would be working with dogs again (6 years experience as a professional dog walker and pet sitter) and I could bring my dog to work. I quickly realized the atmosphere of diamond doghouse was not one I wanted my dog to be in. Me and my coworker saw the most senior employees kicking small dogs. When my coworker went to dodie and told her what she saw, dodie didn't care and didn't do anything about it. There was no training for employees on how to handle misbehaving dogs or overly active dogs, we were just told to spray them with the water hose. They occasionally put e-collars on hyper dogs without the dogs owners consent, and shock them when they get rowdy. One time my coworker was bit by a dog and a dog fight was about to break out, the older guy who works in the dog yard (who is dodie's favorite employee), threw a big metal scooper across the yard that came an inch away from hitting my head and came dangerously close to hitting a dog. I recently told that story and someone that worked there 8 years ago, knew the name of the worker I was talking about because she saw him do that multiple times 8 years ago. Now let's get into how dodie treats the workers and the dogs. Dodie for 70% of the time stays inside but for the 30% of the time she was in the yard she was constantly YELLING at dogs and her workers. When I started, I was getting yelled at nearly every day for anything, my coworker told me "that's just the way she treats new workers". On my last day at diamond doghouse, I had a dog leaning up against my leg so I bent down to pet them. Dodie saw me petting the dog and ran over to me screaming. Saying I "didn't take the job seriously". After that day I left and never came back. I would never recommend anybody take their dog here. There are a couple of long term employees that have been with dodie for several years and they are very comfortable mistreating the dogs because they've been doing it for a long time and instead of facing repercussions, they are treated better than other employees by the owner. Me and 4 other coworkers all started around the same time and tried to do right by the dogs but we all ended up leaving after seeing how bad it was and how it wasn't going to change. I recently shared my experience working at DDH on TikTok. So many past employees reached out to me sharing their experience working there and they were all just as horrible as mine or even worse. Since I shared my story, the handful of customers that love dodie have been harassing me on TikTok and leaving positive reviews for the business. There was a review on here from someone that had a working interview at DDH, during their one day there they saw employees using sticks on dogs for behavior management. That review has since been removed. I'll be taking a screenshot of mine to see how long it's up.

You lied and stated the dog climbed a 6-foot fence knowing that was impossible! You never took accountability for what happened you covered up your employees' lies even admitting how unwelcoming she responded to what happened! In addition, you have been dishonest about several situations surrounding this matter. A customer posted that her dog died in your care and you didn't tell them until later! You are dishonest and have caused a serious lack of respect for both you and your so-called 30-year business! I give this business a 0 rating

Swift Creek Animal Hospital did an excellent job caring for our two cats while they boarded. Our…read morecats aren't accustomed to boarding, and the staff handled everything with so much patience and kindness. You can tell they truly pay attention to each animal as an individual--they were caring, attentive, and thoughtful about each cat's specific needs. They also did an amazing job working with each cat's personality to ensure a smooth experience and to prevent unnecessary stress. Because of how they managed things, I feel confident our cats will have a better boarding experience in the future. We're very grateful for the great care we received and highly recommend Swift Creek Animal Hospital.

My husband and I have taken our dogs to this vet for 15 years, but never again. Our dog began…read morehaving seizures for the first time and had 4 seizures in the evening and overnight. We called an emergency vet and they said they would need to see what was happening to properly diagnose her, so they advised waiting and taking a video if she has another episode (which is a separate issue with another facility). Rather than risk a 30 minute drive to a questionable emergency vet, we figured Swift Creek would help. We were in the parking lot waiting when they opened at 8am. My husband explained the situation, and my dog clearly had seizures (we did take a video at that point), but they told us to go to urgent care. Even when told that she was now having seizures 3-4 hours apart and waiting another 3 hours for urgent care to open would allow time for another seizure, they still said they would not see her. They have been this dog's vet for all 5 years of her life and have seen all our other dogs over the course of 15 years, yet they turned us away when our dog really needed help. Fortunately, we found another vet that was open and willing to see her. They gave her a sedative and seizure medication. They did nothing that Swift Creek didn't have the ability to do, other than show compassion. Swift Creek might be fine when your pet is well, but don't count on them to help when you really need them.

That was no problem at all. We will be using this location from this point forward whenever we have to travel without the pups.
