              Please do not take your fur baby here or to any of their locations. My dog has gotten Giardia, had her paws hurt on multiple occasions, and came out limping in pain. All times they did not want to cover veterinary costs or take any responsibility for the injuries and our illnesses that occurred on their premises. Each time I was blamed. I requested video this last time and I have been given the silent treatment.I would like to help prevent anyone elses fur baby from sickness or injury from this awful business. As an animal lover and advocate for animals I think these people need to be held fully accountable and they will continue to operate unless we speak up and help our animals who dont have a voice.

              When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
