We were Disappointed. Services are truly Overpriced as compared to other local veterinary…read morepractices. Bills were inflated by "nickel and dime-ing" and repeating charges. No consideration for loss of our very young pet! Never Again. Think Long and Hard before you take your pet here. I wish I'd read these and other site reviews Before we did.

My story - I have been taking my dog to this vet for a year with minimal issues. However, I took my cat there earlier this week when she had some dramatic weight loss ever since a vacation a few weeks ago. Upon seeing her, they proceeded to go on about how sick she was, which didn't surprise me considering the weight loss. They insisted they had to do a full blood panel that cost $260 along with several other measures, bringing the bill up to over $400. I tried to ask which alternatives I could use and of course, everything was absolutely necessary. Luckily, I was able to pay this fee at that time. Upon the exam completion, I told the results would be back on Thursday. When I got home I noticed that I was double charged the exam and the medical waste fee and there was also a couple other mysterious descriptions on the bill. When I called to inquire, no one seem to know what was what but they did agree to refund me for the erroneous charge. While talking to the office on Wednesday afternoon to fix the bill issue, the receptionist informed me that my cats test results were in. I asked her what they were, and she claims she was not allowed to tell me over the phone and that she had to wait for the doctors to read them. OK, I get this - but expected someone to call me Thursday at a reasonable time. I called three times through their business hours at once I didn't hear from them by 12 or 1 o'clock today with no response. Finally, at 6 PM tonight I received a call back with the results. It indicated that she had a urinary tract infection, but the doctor was saying that they would like to do a culture on the urine to narrow down what the bacteria was. When I asked if they could give her a broad-spectrum anabiotic, she said that they "don't do that. "I asked what my next steps were and she said that the office was closing for a week due to a Covid outbreak and therefore they couldn't do anything. I asked if she could call in another antibiotic that was likely to work on the type of bacteria that they identified, and she says that they don't call in pet medication's to a human pharmacy ( Walgreens etc) and that it's "not their policy to call prescriptions into a pet pharmacy. " I'm like WTF?!?!? I asked what they expected me to do then, as my cat is obviously ill and needs treatment! She said that they call a friendly partner Vet that will agree to see their patients while they're closed down, and they'll ship their records, but I will still have to pay another exam fee and an additional test fees for them to make their own determination as to what is wrong with her! So basically I have to re-pay hundreds of dollars more to take her somewhere else because they refuse to provide care based on their results because they're the only pharmacy in town that will not call in a prescription to a pharmacy. I accused her of being money hungry at this point, to which she didn't deny but just said oh I can't have that conversation with you right now. I asked how she slept at night knowing that an animal is suffering because they refused to provide medication. She then cited the CDC guidelines for Covid. I get that they have to close down and I'm all for preventing the spread of Covid, but there is absolutely nothing about Covid that says that they cannot call in medication to a pet pharmacy like every other vet in the world. That is where they are being simply money hungry and absolutely sadistic and cruel. She then said, that she was sorry for my distress and that she feels she did her job by informing me of the results and informing me that they will be closed. I told her that she did not do her job in fact, and she basically just stole $400 from me for doing absolutely nothing but that if that helps her sleep at night then good for her. So now I'm out $$$$ and obviously will have to spend hundreds more to take her to a vet that will actually do their job and follow through and provide treatment on an animal that they examine. This is the most obscene misuse of power that I have ever seen, and obviously will never take either of my animals back there.

We met Jennifer while she was helping foster a cat we wanted to adopt. Several months later when we…read moreadopted our dog and discovered his nearly debilitating separation anxiety, we asked her for help. She came to our home and helped train him in some basic commands (turns out you *can* teach an old dog new tricks), as well as training us to recognize signs of stress in him and helping us cope with his anxiety. My fiancée had never had a dog before, and even when it looked like we would have to return Tank to the rescue, Jennifer reassured us that things just take time. Finally, through a combination of training with Jennifer and some puppy Prozac (also at Jennifer's suggestion), Tank is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted dog. Also, when we adopted a second cat who did NOT get along with the first cat, Jennifer taught us how to give both cats enough reassurance and sense of safety to make them comfortable with each other. As I write this they're playing together and chasing each other up and down the hall (for such small cats they make a LOT of noise). All of this is to say that without Jennifer we would not be the family that we are. She brought us our first cat, helped us rescue and rehabilitate our dog, and made sure our second cat was safe in our home. We are very grateful to her and would 100% recommend her business to anyone in need of assistance with any pet related issues. She has always been there for us to answer questions or offer support and we can't thank her enough.

Jennifer/ L'Chaim Canine Dog Training is top notch. I recommend Jennifer to anyone with dogs or…read morecats. Jennifer has helped me integrate a new dog into my pack and gave each of the 5 dogs individualized attention and assessments. She recommended books for me to read to augment my training sessions with her. Jennifer has a keen intuition for the needs of dog and owner and the education to implement the techniques to meet the needs of both. Strongly recommend.
