I've taken three poodles to The Soggie Doggie even though they are an hour away. The care that they…read moregave my first poodle throughout his life was outstanding but most importantly was the care during the last 12 months of his life as he battled cancer. They were beyond compassionate. Understood that all his appointments had to be made around his radiation and chemo treatments and overall gave him 110% care. After his passing I finally got a second poodle who is fearful but he loves the ladies there and because of their fear free certification (something I also go to a vet with) I feel safe leaving him. As you can see in the picture he's a very calm happy boy there. And my girl goes in and greets them like long lost family. She'd live in the salon if she could. Absolutely recommend

I took my dog here a couple times, and the last time he went, he was bitten. Things happen, but…read morewhen we picked him up, it wasn't mentioned at all. We found out because we was acting off and had a bump, so we took him to the vet. The vet shaved it down and revealed the bite. The disturbing part about this is that it wasn't mentioned. This either means the employees witnessed it and said nothing, or weren't watching the dogs/didn't hear my dog yelp when it happened. We've attempted to email twice with no response. This is our last attempt to show something happened. I don't recommend taking your dog here as it's pretty disturbing that a bite was never addressed. You want to take your dog somewhere they'll be happy while you're not with them, and this experienced has not been reassuring that the Dog Barn provides that.

We asked for visits every other day to feed her and check in on her. They fed her the wet food (meticulously rinsing out the empty cat food cans and neatly arranging them on the counter so that I could see the quantity and flavors he gave her) and filled her dry bowl and water on every visit. They cleaned the cat litter and refreshed it, leaving it incredibly clean. They also played with her, taking out her favorite cat toys and giving her lots of attention. One day while we were away, Dan sent me video of her playing -- it was so cute! We will never have anyone else care for our Cat or Home ever again!

A great place to spend an hour surrounded by new friends!…read more LOCATION: There are two separate lots: the main lot where the entrance is located and a very small area that can hold 4-5 cars. The entrance was a little hard to find but there was someone standing there to guide you in. There are a lot of sings that say "do not enter" so be wary! STAFF: All of the staff was VERY welcoming and friendly. The staff member at the front gave us a rundown of the rules and told us we can roam around freely. We went for the autumn festival which was just a scavenger hunt. The staff helped us around with the clues and introduced a few of the animals to us. ANIMALS: We were greeted by Velcro - one of the friendliest cats I met. We also saw Jack, the resident dog, sniffing around. The animals all have very interesting but sad backstories - it's great that they ended up here at Winslow Farm. Some of the animals are kept away from the guests but you are allowed to pet! Many roam around freely! GUESTS: We visited on a Saturday afternoon and didn't see too many other guests - the staff probably outnumbered the guests. I did witness some boys chase around some ducks and geese. If you bring your kids here, just be alert and parent. This is their home and you're the guest - kids will be kids but also teach them to respect the animals' space. PRICES: The admission goes towards feeding and maintaining care for these animals so it all goes towards a good cause. Overall, I respect the farm's mission and I think it's a great place for everyone to learn about the animals. lol

We had a great time with kids over there. They fed chickens bunnies we bought some fresh eggs.read more

It was heartbreaking hearing some of their stories, but so blessed to see they're happy and can live out their lives in peace. The tour guides were wonderful! Very informative and we were able to tour the farm and see many animals. There are cows, pigs, goats, chickens, geese, llamas, and more! The goats are so cute, and you're able to pet them freely. I highly recommend this place for any vegan looking for some animal loving or families looking for a fun and educated afternoon. Remember, this is a place that has saved many animals from being killed, not a petting zoo! It's wonderful!

When I told friends how we were going to visit a farm sanctuary, one of the first questions was…read moreusually, "What is a farm sanctuary?" A farm sanctuary is a kind of refuge for animals. Many of the animals are rescued from factory farms, from slaughter, abuse, or from abandonment. One of the things that distinguish Maple Farm Sanctuary is that it's the only sanctuary that was formerly a working farm. Jim and Cheri Vandersluis had a dramatic change of heart and a move of conscious that made it impossible for them to raise animals for slaughter. Their story is told in the documentary Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home. We visited Maple Farm Sanctuary on Father's Day and honestly I wasn't sure how my kids might respond. They're incredibly unpredictable. Would they enjoy the Farm Sanctuary? Would they be disturbed? Would they be frightened? Would they be bored? Would they complain? One of the things that make a farm sanctuary interesting and a sometimes troubling is that most of the animals have a story. Many of the stories are tragic and sad. These are stories of how the animals were often mistreated and treated inhumanely and how they eventually found a home here. It should also be said that while our guides at the Maple Farm Sanctuary were more than willing to share the stories of these animals in detail if asked, they were also sensitive to the presence of our small children. One sheep Tara Ann was rescued from three women who were beating her with sticks. Apparently these women didn't see anything wrong with beating an animal they were going to eat anyway. A Holstein cow Cassie, was raised in almost complete darkness for much of her early life. Her owners were just waiting for the day when they could bring her to slaughter. In Cassie's case, she did something remarkable, which rarely happens. She escaped the slaughterhouse by jumping a six foot high fence. One of the sad things about Cassie is that because of her experience, she suffered a great emotional trauma. As a result, she doesn't like open spaces and doesn't like spending time with other cows. Our guides shared about Cassie's story and about her slow recovery. We enjoyed feeding Cassie some carrots. Although, the stories of the animals were often troubling, it was somehow reassuring to know that they at least found a home here, where they can play, live and grow old. From my own perspective, the animals at the Maple Farm Sanctuary seemed genuinely happy. They were free to walk about and socialize and express normal animal behavior. The nature of life is that sometimes we don't experience a happy endings, but for these animals they found something of that happy ending. The animals that were most beloved by my own children were the goats and the llamas. The goats were incredibly friendly and affectionate. Although, you had to watch them, because otherwise they might nibble on your clothes. Overall the entire family had a great time at the Maple Farm Sanctuary. In fact, our youngest who is never shy about complaining, offered her highest praise when she said that she wanted to come back again.

I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised at the service I received and how inexpensive it was. My dog received excellent care AND it didn't break the bank!

They'd already leashed my dog and taken her to the back when I casually mentioned she'd be chill because I gave her a single trazedone dose which she only takes for vet visits. All the staff members present froze in place and one said "oh no, we can't take any dog who's on anxiety medication". I was stunned - I asked, why wasn't this policy mentioned anywhere on the grooming website or at any point in the scheduling process? Two staff members were apologetic. One staff member said, "well did you ask?" A service-ending policy regarding a factor as common as anxiety medication should be clearly stated at the beginning of service scheduling, included in email confirmations (it wasn't), text reminders (not there either!), and clearly posted at the check-in desk (nothing was posted). Petco: please don't let this total waste of time and uncomfortable interaction happen to future customers or your poor groomers.
