Now was the time to start learning the in's and out's of poodle care. I asked a few friends where they took their dogs in St. Albert and only good things were said about Clippin'Along. I check yelp and read a good review here. So booked Mac in and we were set. The cut was great, they treated Mac so well he didn't want to leave. We have been back twice since then, Mac gets really excited when he realizes where he is going. I really can't say enough good!

Second time at Calico Hills for our Sammy. It remains the best cat boarding in the Edmonton area…read more The setting is a two story home gutted for all things feline. Everyone has more than enough space to ensure cat satisfaction. Our cat loves the solarium, aquarium and fire place. Smells clean, too - incredible w all those cats. Sammy was happy, clean and the same weight. Cats are those odd creatures that think if they starve to death, it's taught you a lesson. But never fear. Calico hills will provide a stress free stay and your cat will be happy and healthy. In fact, once again, Sammy had to be forced to leave - really. How ungrateful. But it just shows what good care they take of your beloved kitty. Absolutely no where else but Calico Hills.

We had a hard decision to make to say goodbye to our dog after 14.5 years. We decided to say…read moregoodbye to our sweet little Sophie at home with All Your Heart Vet Services, Dr. Kayleigh Mahony. This was one of the most difficult times in our lives and Kayleigh made us feel more comforted through and with the process. We decided to pick Sophie up ourselves from Atim Creek Crematory. From the phone call to let us know Sophie was ready to come home, to giving us words of comfort when we arrived to pick her up, Atim Creek was caring and professional. Thank you. Anne and George

Atim sent us an angel in the form of Dr. Kayleigh Mahony. She not only took the time to make him feel comfortable, and ensure he passed peacefully, she included our other dog and made us feel better with the decision we made. She also sent a lovely note with his paw prints afterward. Thank you Kayleigh! Will definitely go back - hopefully not too soon, though.

BEST PLACE TO SEND YOUR DOG/CAT that I've ever seen! I sent…read moremy 3 very shy, timid, keep to themselves, back away Pugs here for daycare and after maybe 2 visits totally changed them. They now play with other dogs, which I never thought I'd see! They come home so happy and now when I ask them "Wanna go to daycare?!" They run for the door. The floors in the dog area are heated and they can choose when to go out or in. The staff keeps me updated on how they're doing all the time. I was in Cuba and they even emailed me a photo of them. What kennel can you think of that would do that?!?! As soon as we go into the daycare all 3 of there tails start wagging and they instantly forget about me and run to the staff!! HAHA!!! I can't praise this place enough. Even if you live in Edmonton and its a little out of your way it's so very worth it. Changed my pugs completely, plus it's nice after daycare having them pooped out! LOL!!!

8 years ago we adopted a special needs dog named Berkeley. Berkeley had a spinal cord injury…read morerendering part of his back fused together. Berkeley could not do stairs but learned to "ski" down the stairs. He would lie down and sit differently than other dogs because he adapted to his injury. I was introduced to Larissa through a neighbour and when Larissa told me she was setting up a grooming shop in her home, I was delighted. I was anxious about taking Berkeley to a groomer because I wasn't sure he would be able to handle sitting for extended periods of time. As it turns out, Larissa became a neighbour and the convenience of taking my dogs for a walk to her shop proved to be invaluable. Larissa worked with Berkeley and they quickly found their rhythm. Like Berkeley, she adapted her grooming techniques so that he could be comfortable in the tub and on the table. When we adopted Berkeley, he came to us a sticky, matted, smelly mess of a dog. You would never have known he was a Shih Tzu. When I went to pick up Berkeley later that afternoon, I didn't even recognize my own dog! He was so happy, so handsome and loved his new haircut. Over the years, we adopted two more rescues, Japanese Chins named Belle and Toya. Both dogs suffered emotional trauma from being in a puppy mill and Belle especially was terrified of humans and specifically children. Larissa again learned to work with both dogs to make them feel safe. Larissa provides a safe, loving environment and has been extremely patient and gentle with all of my special needs dogs. I never worry that my "kids" will be locked up in kennels for hours or be further traumatized by their experience. As Berkeley aged, his body became more and more sensitive and arthritis kicked in. On a particularly bad day for Berkeley, he moved and squirmed and Larissa accidentally nicked him. She was immediately on the phone, advising me what happened, indicating that she had treated the cut (which was nothing serious) and asked if I wanted her to continue the groom or wait until a better day for Berkeley. She treated my boy as if he was her own dog. Sadly, Berkeley passed away on July 23, 2012. On June 2, 2013, Toya passed away suddenly at home due to a heart condition she was diagnosed with 3 months prior. In an extreme panic, I didn't know what to do and called Larissa, completely hysterical. Being neighbours, without hesitation, she came over immediately and attempted CPR but regrettably it was too late. Larissa spent the next several hours with my husband and me, providing comfort in our loss and then in pouring rain, drove us with our beloved Toya to Guardian Veterinary Clinic. Larissa has become family and gave of her personal family time to be with us when we needed someone most. I simply don't know of any groomer who would ever do this for a client. In the last month, we were gifted with an opportunity to rescue two more Shih Tzu dogs. Buttons is a 4 year old special needs dog that came from an abusive situation. Buttons is terrified of people and terrified of stairs and does not use them. Once again, Larissa has come through and has learned to find a way to help Buttons feel safe and calm and grooms him in a fashion that he feels comfortable, which I recently learned involved him refusing to stand on the table so she groomed him lying down! Our newest addition is a 2 year old Shiz Tzu named Bandit. He is full of energy and does not sit for long. He returned from the shop looking handsome and happy as ever. I would follow Larissa anywhere and if that meant moving to another city, I would seriously have to consider it. Larissa continues to take courses to improve her skills and spends time researching cuts so different breeds of dogs do get breed appropriate cuts. All 5 of our special needs rescues have been treated with love, respect, compassion and understanding. If ever there was a medical issue I needed to be aware of, Larissa brought it to my attention immediately. She never hides a nick, she tells me what kind of a day each dog had at the shop - were they nervous, did they have an accident, were they scared and I know that I never have to be concerned about their safety or care in the shop. Larissa has cared for my family for 8 years now and so long as she grooms, she will continue to care for my furry family in the years to come.

I started bringing my cat here after a closer vet clinic closed down, and unfortunately I've had to…read moremake quite a few visits this year as my cat's getting older and has had a few issues. Location - in a small strip mall, beside a fancy shoe shop and near a delicious bakery, so if you have to wait around for a bit, you have a couple things to look at. The bakery has some delicious options to take away while you're there. And there's plenty of free parking, I've never been unable to find a space. Vet staff - I've been seeing Dr. Jennifer Stelfox and she's wonderful; has been going above and beyond to help ensure my cat is not in discomfort, and is good at following up, even when it's clear that she's calling late after her normal work shift would have ended. She clearly cares a lot about her animal patients and treats them with care. My only complaint is that the quality of the front desk/assistant staff is a little mixed. Some are as great as Dr. Stelfox, but others have mixed up instructions to me (like forgetting to tell me that my cat needed to fast before a blood test). They have been good about apologizing when this did happen and discounting the follow up, so hopefully this is something that will be corrected soon. Overall, I would recommend this vet if the location is convenient to you.
