I dropped my 8 month old Great Dane off on Friday before the Labor Day weekend at PAWS. I felt rushed and was not given any playtime options for my dog, nor was I told that he would NOT be taken outside unless I paid extra. When I came to pick him up on Monday, the staff told me that he was hesitant to use the doggy door and had used the bathroom on his bedding. Instead of helping my dog to learn how to use the doggy door, they made him stay in the kennel and sleep in his own urine. Instead of calling me to let me know that he needed to be taken outside, they neglected him, when he was CLEARLY in distress, to defecate in his kennel. They didn't even bother to bathe my baby! He was visibly upset and unclean when I picked him up and stressed for the rest of the day. I couldn't believe how negligent and unkind these people had been to my dog. As the proprietors of a dog kennel, you would think they would show some compassion and help out a dog in need. I would gladly pay extra for my dog to not be traumatized! And they told me that I should have told THEM to take him out for walks... I will NEVER subject my dog to these people ever again. Ridiculous!

We have taken our animals to Trish and the folks at PAWS since 2005 and
have had nothing but quality care. Our little Brussels Griffons are a
handful, and despite their moodiness, the staff has found ways to bond
with them and make them at ease during our trips out of town. We've
never had a problem with ticks, fleas or any other parasites, and the
dogs always greet us well fed, clean and happy. I've tried many kennels
over many years, and these people are by far the best I've found so far.
PAWS is not a fancy place, but it's run by dog people. They'll treat
your animal right.

We took our dog there for an extended stay and when we returned the dog was covered with ticks.
Our dog was a very small Yorkie that they chose to clean up last as we arrived to pick it up. The dog was clearly stressed so my wife stayed there for several hours helping to pull hundreds of ticks off the dog. They said they noticed the tick infestation on a Friday but did nothing to help our dog until Wednesday. They did not even contact a vet to research the type of tick. After taking the dog to the vet we had to quarantine the dog for another 4 days until all ticks died off. The owner agreed to pay for vet visit and costs due to this which only came to about $85.00 but still we have received money. This place did not do their due diligence to pre-check all animals before letting in and then made a very poor effort to give the care needed to the infected animals. I would never take another animal to them.

Last month, I took my cat to the Bingle Vet, and I was disappointed. The nurses and assistants were great and very sociable to me and to my cat. My cat wasn't thrilled by the number of dogs there, but that will happen at almost any vet.

The part that bothered me is when Dr. Vaughan examined my cat. She had some bleeding on her abdomen, so he simply grabbed her up and threw her on her back. Then he wrapped his hand around a mass with his fingers digging in and then flipped her back upright. He made no gestures to the cat other than to throw her around. Then he announced that she had a tumor which was probably going to be terminal. He was not personable at all and just made the blunt statement and said she would need surgery.

Dr. Vaughan did perform the surgery and appears to be technically adept as my cat is doing okay for now. My husband took her back to have her stitches removed and I had to take her back a third time as they missed removing one of them. Again, the nurses were very nice to me and my cat.

I will be looking for another vet however. I did not appreciate the rough treatment of my sick cat nor the abrupt nature of the doctor.

I take my schnauzer here for grooming and I absolutly love the services and the clean condition of the kennel. They are so kind to her and she looks like a prize dog when I pick her up. I will not take here anywhere else.

Update: It seems my cat had a common UTI after having been spade. She's doing great now, and I will recommend this vet. A very friendly staff as well.

I found Dr. Dempsey to be great. He is engaging, caring and totally up on the latest medical techniques. Obviously there are always going to be people who do not like change, but Dr. Schulte could not have selected a better person to replace his style of caring for my pets. I highly recommend this clinic if you want solid, quality care for your pet.

I HIGHLY recommend this company! Lauren is amazing with animals, and she is VERY reliable, kind, and understanding of pets' various needs. I trust her completely and highly recommend her. Her rates are very competitive, too.

Dr. Schulte was a great vet but retired earlier this year. His replacement is horrible! I have since moved all 3 of my pets to a new clinic. Avoid this clinic!!!

I've been looking for a place to leave my dogs that THEY would love. I finally found it here. The placed is set up for the dogs and mine had a great time (as evidenced by their excitement the second time I brought them).
