Pet Boarding Training in Virginia Beach

“After the loss of one of my dogs and several moves across the country, my German Shepherd, Finley, started showing some random bouts of dog aggression that I wanted to get a handle on ASAP. Adam was instrumental in this process and allowed for me and Finley to build a new relationship in which he listens and trusts my word more than ever before, ultimately making him a more trustworthy dog and more comfortable when we are out and about. I highly recommend Adam to anyone dealing with behavioral issues with their dogs. He will take it seriously and it is obvious that he is very passionate and knowledgeable in his field.“

“I wish I could give you all 10 stars. Andrea is an amazing person and trainer. She loves what she does. She has compassion and patience and she never makes you feel uncomfortable and Pickles and myself look forward to our sessions. I 100% recommend Freak on a Leash.“

“1st time leaving my dog overnight. Everyone was very nice and reassuring. Sent pictures everyday.“

“I have been taking my dogs and cats to Acredale for almost 30 years. Dr. Alex is fantastic with my Siamese! I drive the extra miles just to take him to be treated by her. She is the best!!“

“After I kept a friendly feral cat born in my neighborhood, he had to get his shots. I already have several rescued animals and needed to start saving more on vet costs. Therefore, I have been going to cheap shot clinics for his needs. This is the best one that I've been to. It's seamless. You show up, check in on your phone and even if you don't have a car, they have a waiting room for you to sit in. You don't have to just stand in the aisles of a store in a long line. They come out, talk to you and give your pet his/her shots/deworming treatments. Then, you get checked out and go on your way. It's great. Prices are fair. This is the cat that went...his name is Perseus and he is the friendliest feral I have ever met.“

“I love working with Dory. My pup and I have truly learned a lot. Dory teaches you so much, not just about training your dog but how to be a responsible owner and how to do what’s best for your dog. The class I recommend the most is puppy kindergarten. It teaches you so much, nips bad habits in the bud and teaches the foundational building blocks of socializing your dog. Once you start with Dory you won’t want to stop. She’s a great trainer with lots of experience and is always a text away. Dory helps me be a good dog owner!“

“Our hyperactive two year old border collie absolutely loves Camp Bow Wow. He does his happy dance when I say the word "daycare" now and grabs his own leash to walk himself in because he's so excited each morning. Although it cost a little more on the expensive side you do actually get what you pay for here. The staff are kind, understanding and super knowledgeable. We love the individualized activities. The environment is safe and controlled and when I don't see our pup on the cameras I can call and ask and someone knowledgeable always answers immediately. We referred our neighbors and they love it, too. The owner, Anthony, is the nicest man and he is super involved and actually cares (it shows). Our pup is a rescue and doesn't normally like baths but he feels so comfortable here he lets them groom him fully with no problems in addition to his fun filled days. It's such a safe environment. We toured eight different daycares before choosing here and I'm still convinced we couldn't have made a better choice. Highly recommend!“

“Very cozy and clean. The staff were very friendly, accommodating, and kind to my dog and I. The visit was not rushed, the prices were fair, and I didn’t feel pressured to buy anything we didn’t need.“

“We were vacationing in VA Beach and experienced an emergency with our dog. Our dog was promptly scheduled for a visit by the staff and evaluated by Dr. Johnson within 2 hours of receiving our call.

After evaluation, we were provided with a thorough explanation of his findings along with a detailed cost estimate for the treatment plan. As this was our dog's first visit to this vet, the treatment plan included taking necessary precautions (drawing blood, physical examination, etc.) to make sure our pet would not have adverse reactions to sedation. He reviewed the treatment plan and associated risks with us, spent ample time addressing all of our concerns and provided a detailed account of the procedure afterward. The treatment plan was reasonable and did not include anything egregious or unnecessary - very noteworthy since we were from out of town and experiencing an emergency with our pet.

The staff is excellent as well - very professional, compassionate and dedicated. In addition to recognizing the need for immediate care, the staff provided answers to all of our follow up questions the day of the procedure and during the routine "follow up" call the next day. It was very comforting to know that our pet was in good hands throughout the entire process.“

“We’ve been taking our animals to General Booth for years and they have never let us down. My kitty developed a heart murmur and Dr. Keller saw us within the week. We formed a game plan that is safe for kitty but also not going to cost a fortune. I love their honesty in explaining routes for treatment and they always seem to put themselves in your shoes to offer you the best treatment advice.“

“Best vets and personal ever. Makes you and your furbaby feel special. And the callbacks make you feel really secure in the care of your furbaby. And they have always taken us right in on an emergency call.“

“They are amazing and take such good care of care of my King. He is so excited when he gets there, he just runs right in! I am so thankful to have found them.“

“My pup absolutely loves going to see her friends at Bark. Everyone is always so welcoming and happy to see her. She sits by my car in the morning waiting to go to doggy daycare at Bark. She comes home happy and exhausted. As a busy family with an energetic puppy, we are so grateful to have such a fantastic place for her to go play while we work. You can really tell the staff are all animal people.“

“We have been bringing all our dogs to kempsville since 1998. They’re very knowledgeable and caring. I can highly recommend them for boarding too“

“This is a wonderful group of volunteers that love dogs and know what they are doing. I've taken all 4 dogs here and will continue to recommend HROTC to anyone that asks. Their pricing is reasonable sonce theyre not for profit, unlike Zoom Room and others that charge a few hundred every time you go.“

“Deborah is a wonderful trainer! It's amazing to watch her work with the dogs in class.“

“We had our baby girl spayed.. they were so caring and took the time to explain and put us at ease!!! They took great care of our baby!“

“Our Belgian Malinois pup is only 8 months old and we are very particu of who we let keep our girl. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we are so excited for her next stay.“

“Nothing but positive reviews for this vet. They went above and beyond during our hard time losing our girl Shaka. The vets helped us when she got sick and made us feel like Shaka really mattered to them too. Thank you all for your help during this difficult time.“

“The Dr's and nurses are great. Very caring and helpful. Prices are a little high in comparison to other animal hospitals in the area. We continue to go here because of the convenience and kindness of the people there.“

“They've been my vet for at least 20 years and always provide great care. This picture is of Calypso "Callie" and Ziva.“

“Had an excellent time there just these past few weeks. Was in town to help my cousin move into the area, and I couldn't leave my pup at home due to separation anxiety. I liked having access to the webcam and being able to see that any time day camp was going on, there was a person in the room to supervise. He was a bit clingy with the room teacher, but they treated him wonderfully (I felt so bad, he barked so much but they didn't seem to mind!!). I saved a clip of him playing with a cute lab puppy and shared it with my family during dinner, we all got a good laugh out of it. Will be coming back next spring when I visit my family again and bringing my pup Rand with me.“

“Hank after a day settled in well. They make his food as directed yea. Clean suites another bonus. Staff was wonderful and very caring with our boy. Even better they are very close to home. Will have no problem boarding him again. Thanks for the bonus as I was referred by a friend. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Highly recommend this place they always treat my dog (Coral) so good. She's never hesitant on going in. My husband is a 1st responder and he always takes her so she's well cared for, all the people working there know my husband and dog like we are family. I am so thankful for this place“
