    Erin and her Little Zoo were amazing! She came for my daughters 4th birthday and all the adults couldn't stop commenting on how it was the best party zoo they've ever seen. She brought a variety of animals and was so engaging with all the kids. It was a super interactive experience and well worth it for the memories! I wish I held more animals!

    My autistic 8 year old son gets overwhelmed easily in social situations but he loves animals, specifically reptiles. He still wanted a birthday party with his classmates so we booked The Little Zoo as a surprise for him. They were fantastic in working with us and asking questions as how to make my son comfortable. Instead of a show and bringing him as center of attention, I asked them to keep it casual and my son and his friends were able to approach, hold and pet animals and ask questions. This situation put fewer demands on my son, and he was able to enjoy the experience. He held a skink, bearded dragon, tarantula, and so much more. I love this adorable rescue and Roberto and Jules were so great with my son and the kids.

    The Little Zoo is such a unique and lovely experience for people of any age, I can not recommend this mobile zoo enough! Erin is incredibly knowledgable about her animals and she's great at making people feel comfortable handling them. Meeting the animals was a therapeutic experience i recommend for anyone.

    This little 6 year old could not be happier

    Look no further, The Little Zoo is the absolute BEST. The animals were all so sweet and cute, The crew that accompanied the cutie creatures were very engaging , patient and kind. they kept 8, 6 year olds fully engaged for two hours. Every child was given enough time to handle and love on all the fabulous creatures. our party was absolutely epic... both children and parents LOVED IT !

    The Little Zoo was amazing! Erin made scheduling the experience very easy. She was quick to respond and address any questions I had. The day of the party Rob was great will all the kids and parents . He made an effort to make the birthday girl & boy feel special. I would definitely recommend!

    Rob from the little Zoo brought absolute joy to our daughter's 9th Birthday. He kept the kids engaged and excited for two hours. And what adorable little animals. Can't say enough. We got feedback from everyone that this was the best birthday ever. Worth every penny. Thank you Thank you to the amazing The Little Zoo crew

    My kid doesn't like to smile in her pictures so Erin did the same with her

    Erin has to be the most amazing one woman show in the mobile zoo business. She has the coolest animals to bring and the families at our party loved it! Erin brought a chinchilla, bearded dragon, turtle, bunnies, snakes, a tarantula (my favorite one), and more! She was so patient with our group of kids and shared lots of interesting facts about each animal. Everyone had the chance to hold an animal of their choice. My daughter is an animal lover who wants to become a "zoo keeper" when she's older and she described her birthday as "the best day ever" because of the little zoo. Thank you for making her birthday this year so special!

    The Little Zoo is such a unique and wonderful experience. Erin & her team are so attentive, caring and knowledgeable. And any fears we had about snakes were quickly diminished with the crew's assurance and guidance. Their little baby tortoise is so cute too! You gotta book The Little Zoo for your next gathering!

    Thank you to the Little Zoo Family for making Asa's 4th birthday so special! Having your sweet animals join us for his big day was an absolute delight for kids and adults alike. We appreciated working with Erin and her crew so much. I would highly recommend the Little Zoo family for your next event and hope to have them back for ours. Thank you again!

    The chinchillas were incredible! So soft and so clearly well taken care of and loved people. What a treat!

    Oh my goodness, where to start?!? This was the single greatest party investment I've ever made. Erin and her team are the kindest, most upbeat, most professional people I've ever met. And I've never seen a more beautifully curated and well taken care of little group of gorgeous, happy animals! There was incredible variety from snakes to chinchillas and bunnies, and the facts about them were fascinating. I just don't feel like I can gush enough to get across how absolutely perfect this little zoo and it's zookeepers are!!

Karen helped me get Chloe acclimated as she was leash reactive wanting to greet every dog we see on walks. It was important to me that Chloe was trained through a positive reinforcement approach and Karen's methods are aligned with my preference. She also taught me how to handle all her triggers, how to emergency u-turn, and suggested a type of no pull harness that was a game changer. I stayed consistent with her methods and Chloe learned very quickly. She now walks relaxed on a loose leash next to me and can learn to let go when seeing other dogs. After a year, Chloe started barking furiously nonstop in her car seat. Karen helped suggest a new car set up that instantly removed Chloe's anxiety. She now rides quietly in the backseat laying down. I also really appreciate Karen's detailed notes, links to suggested products, and next steps outlined each time after a training session. I still continue to use Karen as needed but training on different areas to help Chloe continue to thrive. We are so grateful for Karen's guidance and she is always so kind and patient with Chloe during the training sessions. It has enhanced not only Chloe's livelihood but also mine as we embark on life together. I'm so glad to have Karen be part of Chloe's support team as she now lives her best life.

Because his session lasts 45 min to an 1 hr, I could be with my dog during the session and I don't have to drive anywhere. He also provides discounted pricing if you book 10 sessions. From the start my dog lovedddd Josh! A lot can be said, when your dog is in love with a complete stranger! Josh is very kind, gentle, communicative and does all types of therapy depending on the progress. Within those 10 sessions in a span of 3 months, along with vet prescribed medication, my dog is now able to walk around the whole block without a carrier now! Thank you so much to Josh for helping Peanut get back on his 4 little legs!

My very alpha dog needed a lot of training and Dawit turned him into a more calm alpha dog who knows his place at home and in public.

    Where do we even start? Our dog, Cooper, was adopted from a shelter after being surrendered twice…read more We quickly learned that he struggled with severe separation anxiety and couldn't be left alone. We became prisoners in our own home. We either had to take him everywhere with us or have one of us stay behind. It became a huge burden, and we found ourselves scheduling our entire lives around our dog. We decided to work with Dawit, and little by little, things started to improve. When we got Cooper back from training, he was like a completely different dog. He no longer pulled on the leash, was not reactive when he saw other dogs, his recall was amazing, and many of our typical worries disappeared. However, the separation anxiety still persisted. This is where Dawit truly deserves recognition. He never gave up on us or on Cooper. Our training journey probably lasted longer than most because of how severe Cooper's anxiety was, but Dawit went far beyond the typical follow-ups. Over the course of several months, the training sessions, check-ins, texts/videos, communication, and home visits finally paid off. There were times when I genuinely thought we'd never be able to return to a normal life, but our consistency combined with Dawit's continued support and new techniques made all the difference. Cooper can now stay home alone in his crate without issues. That being said, training only works if you put in the effort. We followed through with everything Dawit recommended, even when it was difficult or when we didn't see immediate results. It's easy to fall back into old habits or give up when progress feels slow, but perseverance truly pays off. Side note: Dawit is just an all-around great person who genuinely cares about what he does. Our dog absolutely adores him. We also love the boarding services he offers -- especially because Cooper comes home exercised and happy. Another huge plus is that Cooper is now off-leash certified, and we fully trust him to make good decisions. Yes, it can be costly, but it's an investment and honestly, I don't know another dog as well‑behaved as ours. I'm incredibly proud of the work it took to get here.

My pug was dealing…read morewith a deterioration of a lower disk in her spine, which caused nerve damage as well as arthritis in her back legs. I found two hands four paws as it was on a list of physical therapy locations from my veternian. I am 100 percent confident that two hands four paws allowed my stella to have a more mobile and comfortable life for almost two years longer. Some of her symptoms were dragging her back legs, struggling to squat to pee and slow to stand up/sit down. We started off with just physical therapy, so doing the water treadmill and the obstacles. We put her on fish oil and other supplements that were recommended. I will admit that physical therapy is expensive, no matter the location. So there were times where we had to pause for a few months, and we could absolutely see a difference when we didn't take her consistently. After about a year, stella started to have fecal incontinence, and so we transitioned to acupuncture in which they suggested Chinese herb supplements. The combination of both definitely helped the fecal incontinence which was great! Unfortunately we began to experience a decline in her health (pee incontinence more frequently, her inability to move as well and be as lively) so we recently decided it was best to have her cross the rainbow bridge. The staff were amazing after sharing the news, and they send a card signed by all of the staff and an early picture of my girl in the water treadmill. If you are on the fence about physical therapy, please try out two hands four paws. I would highly recommend Anna, she was amazing with my girl.

Initially I started to go to 2H4P after he had undergone surgery in his left hip for a more advanced condition of dysplasia. At that time, the X-rays with the surgeon had showed the beginning of same condition in the right. His recovery was very difficult for all of us, but we were informed that there was a place to take him that was excellent. We jumped on it. He started the treadmill hydro, but his love of playing with water was making him go too wild and not keeping with the program. One of the trained therapists said it was time he went swimming in the big pool, and I explained that, despite his passion for water play, he was extremely resistant to going into a big pool on the many occasions we tried, but I wanted to try. Bryan was his first teacher, and within 10 minutes, with a life jacket, Ace was swimming the length! Now he can't get enough of it. He has become an expert swimmer ( after 3 weeks the life jacket was unnecessary), and I can't thank 2H4p nearly enough for this in valuable help. Now his right hip has no advancement and he is the happiest dog in America! Every Tuesday gets his 30 minutes of laps come rain or shinIe! I will always be grateful to the staff, and I will always recommend these wonderful people to anyone I know or meet!

Many things were said they were gonna be done didn't get the recommendations/ the prescription, they come in for 5-10 mins max and try to see what they can write you in for if not next case. Makes you think if they don't value a customers half hour this business clearly doesn't care for nearly 2 plus hours.

There are date guide lines that are followed by the book at most places. Most meat if frozen before the date are good up to 3 years past. Most canned goods are good for over a year past date. Dry goods stored properly are good for the most part 3 years past date. Just like camping and emergency food. Most now don't understand that those dates are now not best by dates but fresh by dates just so that theirs tastes better than the competitors for repeat purchase. That's why there's so much food waste here that they had to make a law to make places donate instead of trashing it. You can easily look online now days and see. Example: barbeque sauce if stored properly is good for a year or more past the date. I myself recently had such a thing in my cupboard that expires May 2024 I ate it last month August 2025 I'm still alive and it honestly tasted the same as if I just bought it. I also recently did the same with Easy Cheese that was 1 year and 8 months past date. I am not saying everything is ok I suggest smelling things first and taking a small taste prior, but we throw so much away because manufacturers are trying to make you buy theirs again in stead of another that we are all fooled into throwing away edible items. If a can is expanded it's not good but if not it's probably good far far past the date. We live in the information internet times now type it in and see what is suggested to be ok but always trust your own judgement by smell, taste, and tell. Please don't throw it away just because a company that wants you to buy from them again say that date makes it trash. Also please please stop complaining about places trying to help they really struggle to keep doing what they do most all are nonprofit which means they have to ask for money to be able to have a place to give, a way to get the things to give, and to have the people there to help. They are basically in the same boat as the ones who come for help as in the don't have money and are trying to get food. The difference is they give it away for free after the struggle. I worked at one for 14 years. I know the struggle when you have more in need them more that give. Most do it all with out thanks or appreciation! There are government guide lines to the dates of the food to be given out and they would be shut down if not followed and yes they are inspected very often most have many visits through out the year. Please think before you post because your ignorance can have a place shut down for no reason.
