I have not found a preferred vet since moving to Kansas City. This is the second I have tried…read more Walking in there is a large fish tank, high ceilings and although the furnishings are old, the facility is well maintained and does not smell of animals. The front desk staff was welcoming upon entry and the wait time was not too long. Scheduling the appointment online was an easy process and there were many available openings. We saw Dr. Nickell. I chose her because I thought she would be the most familiar with Frenchies, as she has a boxer. It was apparent that Dr. Nickell had reviewed the uploaded records prior to meeting with us so that was a plus. We went in for a annual wellness exam and updated heartworm and flea preventative prescriptions. I did not like that I did not see any portion of an exam being conducted. Dr. Nickell felt my dog' abdomen, but then took him to the back for his weight and a heartworm test. I did not see her assess his ears, eyes or teeth and she did not comment on anything besides his weight for prescriptions. He had been on a lower dosage, but would have to be moved up as his weight increased a couple pounds. He needed a heartworm test prior to the new prescription. It was $80, which is on the higher end for a heartworm test. I was told I could wait in the waiting room and someone world come out to tell me the results, but no one did. I asked reception on my own. Overall, Dr. Nickell was not very personable and I did not like that I paid for a wellness exam that I did not see and was not discussed.

In my opinion and observation…read more.. So disappointed. After years of loyal patronage, it's painfully obvious this place sold its soul the moment it changed hands. The guy who sold it is now cruising around in his shiny new McLaren, while the rest of us get to enjoy "premium" flea and tick meds with one price in Riverside and a suspiciously cheaper one in Tiffany Springs. Because nothing builds customer trust like location-based price gouging. Prices keep climbing well above market rate, proving they're not in the business of pet care anymore -- just maximum profit extraction. Dr. Sparks should be ashamed. Congrats on helping your predecessor upgrade to supercar status while the clients get the bill. Time to find a vet that hasn't forgotten what integrity looks like. Never again.

I even wrote this down for her. He has a nice long tail that curls up, and she cut off all the hair 6 inches from his bottom up.

The hair on his back and body is the same as when he went in, the hair on his head should be rounded like a poodle, but she cut it flat with2 inch tufts of hair sticking straight up on each side. And I don't think he was bathed

I wouldn't go anywhere else! Dr. H and his staff dote over my babies every time we go!…read more More importantly, every time I call, they go beyond to make sure to have an appointment time for us! We live 1 hour away. We built a house east of Blue Springs, but I continue to make that drive to be with a team that cares! Pricing is right in line with animal science and you can always choose what you approve. We boarded our kitties there while out of town for a major trip, the outgoing cat was able to go "work" in the back room and he loved it. The skittish cat had no signs of being upset for being left a week. That says a lot in my eyes. One particular aspect of this office... they will not immediately steer you to expensive diagnostics. If your baby might have an inflamed intestinal condition, they will just help correct the diet and treat the symptoms as needed. Other businesses are quick to do intestinal biopsy and ultrasounds. Sure that might be your choice to do, but I like how practical the team is. My kitty with the intestinal issue lived to be 20 years old, and he was supported through old age with fluids, and b-12 shots as needed. Those last years could have cost me thousands of dollars, but we got the standard of care that he would receive anyway. Our rescue skittish kitty had stomatitis 4 years ago. The remedy is removal of the molars. The staff quoted us $1200 as standard estimate. We paid it and came to pick her up the next day. The staff corrected our bill and refunded us $400 because the surgery did not take as long as expected and since she was young, the removal was not complicated. They saved her life! Not only by knowing how to treat her, but they offered an option to euthanasia. Kitty is still sassy and happy today. When we got our new puppy, Dr. H was my first stop on the way home! The cuddles and loves for new babies are so genuine! Dr.H took the time to educate me, the cat mom, on how to raise my puppy. I'm so grateful!

I have both boarded my dog and done the doggy daycare. I hadn't had a dog in a long time, and had…read morenever done boarding before so I was nervous and did a lot of research. K9 Resorts was very highly rated, and fairly close to our house. Every time my dog comes home from daycare he is exhausted. The second time I brought him in, he got so excited as soon as he recognized the place. All of the staff are incredibly friendly. They clearly care about him, and he absolutely loves going there. I love that they have different levels of rooms, depending on what your dog needs or you want. I prefer to do the completely private room, even though my dog is small, to lessen the external noises he has to hear. Around Halloween they had "trick or treat" bags for the dogs by the front desk. This place is amazing, and I highly recommend it!

Each location is an individual franchise and the terms as well as prices per location is at the discretion of each franchisee. Furthermore, I had brought my dog here before and he did fine. It's a new location and the facility is clean. That said, I would recommend finding boarding at another location if possible. I had previously made a boarding reservation here for the holiday weekend for my dog. However, with inclement weather approaching, we changed our travel plans due to potential road conditions. I had to pay a deposit equal to half of the cost for stay. When I called, they said due to their policy of it being a holiday weekend, I would have to cancel 1 week in advance. Otherwise, they would keep my deposit. No exceptions. I had planned to drop my dog off Friday night with Tuesday pick up. I had called other franchises and each have their own policy. The other location required only a 50 dollar deposit refundable if cancelled 72 hours in advance. If cancelled within that 72 hour period, the 50 dollars is kept but credited to the owner's account. Compared to other franchises, this makes the cancellation policy at this location much worse. I will not be bringing my dog to this location again in the future.

Richard has done AMAZING things for our whole family after 4 weeks-I even extended her training! Zona is just a happier girl and I'm no longer nervous taking a 70+lb guardian breed (at 8 months) out in public, greeting people, or on walks. And the girls who greet her every day are just as great! If you are considering professional training for your dog-just go for it. Richard worked with me to read her cues, loose leash walking, heeling, recall, working towards neutral with other dogs (WIP), and many more things. I'm as much a work in process as she is, but the patience they have shown is unmatched.

Our dog Ruby just went through a 4 week behavior modification training program with Steph at the…read moreGladstone location. Ruby was reactive on leash and at at our fence with the neighbor dogs, and had problems focusing on us (and what we wanted) while she was outside. She's the first non-food-motivated dog we've ever had, and so we had no idea how to get her attention when she was so focused on everything else. We had only ever trained with treats and that just wasn't working this time. But Steph did know how to train her. After training, our dog is calm and confident. She can loose leash walk in the neighborhood at heel. She's patient and well mannered. A model citizen. She will focus on us when we're outside and come when called, which used to be a struggle if there was a nice breeze, or an interesting leaf, or a bee, or the moon to gaze at. I highly recommend training through KC Dawgz and the associated Digs boarding facility/play group in Gladstone. We dropped Ruby off every morning and picked her up after work, and got to take home a well behaved dog in the evening. She learned while we were working, when we didn't have the time or expertise to do it ourselves. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. If you just have a wacky four legged roommate or a furkid who has a tougher problem, Steph can sort them out for you. The initial consultation was free and easy to schedule and the package we went with included in-home training lessons to make sure everything worked out right at home, too. Some of the best money we have ever spent. (Thank you Steph!!!)
