“I'm nervous about strangers and the staff is patient and kind. They always take the time to explain and educate and I never feel like they are rushing to their next appointment. I've also found the front desk staff to be responsive and helpful. 10 out of 10 recommend.“
“Everyone here acts like a professional, with focus on the pets. Dr Rakow was wonderful to squeeze in my rabbit for an emergency spay. Price for surgery was very reasonable.“
“The only place I feel like my dogs are completely safe and well taken care of. The approach to dog and owner training works well and I feel is the best way to maintain the dog/owner relationship and good behavior.“
“While RVing, stopped in Ventura to take boat to the Channel Islands on a Sunday. We needed to drop off our dog at a doggy daycare for 4 hours. Called 4 places with high ratings and no one answered. The boat rental company gave me Tail of Success number. I called Roy last minute and he couldn't have been more polite and accommodating. I brought our dog over 30 minutes later and his place was new, spotless and filled with happy dogs. He communicated with us via text for updates, sent a video and even took him for a walk. He was a true lifesaver! 5 Star rating!“

“A friend referred me to Dr. Thurman and team and I cannot thank her enough. I recently took the first of two cats for an annual exam and introduction. I immediately felt "at home" from the moment I walked in. I also appreciated not having to wait an extensive time; I feel like they schedule appropriately to see the animals (and their humans) in a timely manner.<br>Upon my first call, the office was not accepting new clients. While disappointed, I admired that they did not over schedule themselves. I have since been able to secure a spot thankfully.<br>I highly recommend giving this team a call if you're looking for a new veterinarian.“
“A great set up! Lots of glass to see your babies and the friendliest people to take them. Extremely clean and easy parking. I took two of my girls for grooming a couple months ago and just forgot to to Yelp! Sorry! It's time again and I'm going back! Loved them!“
“Kind and compassionate staff and doctor. We are so happy with this wonderful business“
“Before contacting Nick at Elevated Canine I thought my stubborn schnauzer would never go outside again because he was so reactive towards people and other dogs. Neptune and I went through the standard package training and it has been an amazing experience. My only regret is that I didn’t start the training sooner. I feel like I have a new confident dog. I take him for walks everyday, he’s crate trained and he can even hang out in the front yard without running away. Nick and Kassandra are great trainers, very well organized and extremely knowledgeable. The studio is always clean and a very comfortable place to bring your dog. I have recently gotten a new puppy and have started applying the training I learned to him and he is doing great as well. Elevated Canine has been worth every penny. I recommend them to all my friends and family.“
