I took my Doberman Kobe here for his ear cropping. When I adopted Kobe from someone online I was lied to about his age but they still worked with me and did great on his ears! I’m more into the longer crop but I do understand because of his age at the time it would of been harder for them to stay up and I think his ear crop suits him. Also I do wanna add that my dog also had skin irritation that I had been trying to help with before the ear crop, when I picked him up his hair was so so much better and it had grown in the spots that were lacking. I’m not sure what they used but it worked great. Would recommend and would come back!

It was my first time going so I didn't know what to expect. Then it got crowded, but I didn't panic because I had an appointment. That, however turned out to be irrelevant because the doctor was running an hour late coming from another location. I didn't leave because I didn't have anything pressing to do. I was glad I waited. The doctor and his assistant were very polite and knowledgeable. They did a thorough exam on my dog and gave him his yearly rabbies shot. I was impressed. I do plan to go back.

You pay exactly for what you get. I took my dog there and they did not feed him. How did I know, glad you asked. The food I sent him with well he came back home with the same amount. Secondly, I could see my dogs ribs and that wasn't normal. My next complaint is that I picked my dog up and they gave him to me with no problem but I wasn't the individual who dropped my dog off. I gave my boyfriends name and they gave me the dog with no problem. How safe is that! I was also told that my dog couldn't come back because he was hyperventilating. Well, if he had some food and water he probably wouldn't have been hyperventilating. I wasn't upset by them saying he couldn't return because I didn't plan on him returning anyway.
