They usually are busy and have an excellent following in the local area. The staff is always ready to help, even if you just need to purchase medication. I think the previous negative reviews aren't fair to those who work hard and have done great things for me and thousands of other area pets. This is a medical field, and things don't go always as planned, for the best bet or human doctors. I suggest you look at their years of business and repeat customers to see beyond these two limited reviews.

Most importantly to us, she was straight forward, but really patient with us humans. Not only does she know animals, she knows people.

I called ahead to see if it they would have a problem if I brought my dog in with me (obviously you can't leave animals in cars) and they were SO accommodating! She asked how big it was and if it was well behaved. I am so glad I thought to call and ask first, because they were able to put some cardboard in a cart for my dog to comfortably sit so I wouldn't have to carry him around the store. They were also able to make sure the birds that were still out wouldn't be upset by my pups presence. I whole-heartedly appreciate that while they certainly took a risk allowing me to come in with him (as some owners believe they have a well behaved dog when in fact the truth is the opposite) as they would've been well within their rights to say they preferred I visit without him at another time and I gladly would've complied! Fortunately for me he's well behaved therapy dog with excellent manners. Onto the actual review of the store since now you get the gist of how wonderful the staff are! The store, while it's pretty small, is ridiculously well stocked which can make maneuvering the aisles tricky (probably not wheelchair friendly, and it's definitely a dancing act with other patrons of this awesome store) but it is well worth it! They have the most incredible selection of bird supplies!! Scoop-yourself foods of different sizes and contents, perches, cages, SO MANY great toys to choose from, books, training supplies, bird safe cleaning products, flight suits, build-yourself toy pieces, medicine, AND bird grooming and boarding services! If birds aren't your thing, they also have another portion of the store for small mammals and reptiles, with a wide variety of supplies for each! I am very happy I decided to stop in, and I will definitely be back! Thanks again, this visit made my day!

Dr. Josh asked us to try pre medicating three days prior to nail appointment. Gave us two meds and instructions. ( meds were not expensive).

Dr. Josh sat on the floor with my dog and was able to clip the nails without anesthesia. Took his time all the while talking her and calming. Walked out with a $34 dollar bill and a happy dog. Highly recommend Soundside and Dr. Josh and staff.
