Pet boarding/training in San Rafael

“I live 35 minutes away up in Petaluma area and for a variety of reasons went to San Rafael Animal Hospital for the first time with my dog Rose. I was pleased with every part of our visit. Dr. Davis even started chipping some tartar off my dog's teeth as he was examining her just because. They even managed to X-ray Rose's leg without anesthesia (and without me there) I believe because she felt secure in their care. Normally she would get anxious if she doesn't see me. Fair prices, too. The neighborhood is sort of industrial and the office is no frills, but the care is exceptional. I'll be coming back all the way down here from now on.“

“Mary is an outstanding trainer. She is incredibly knowledgeable—not only about dogs, but about all kinds of animals. She is professional, patient, and consistent, and it is clear that she brings years of experience to her work.

Her love for animals and genuine passion for what she does are apparent from the moment you meet her. Most importantly, Scout absolutely loves her! I feel very fortunate to have found someone I trust so completely with him. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced trainer.“

“Terra Linda Vets have looked after our Labrador since we moved to San Rafael in 2013. Dr Adams has a lovely manner with our now nearly 14 yr old dog, giving us lots of sensible and gentle advice as we navigate her senior years. She’s doing great! Appointments are punctual and easy to schedule. Office staff and Vet technicians are excellent too.“

“We adopted a doberman mix and it was clear on day 2 that this was not going to be an easy dog. He was very willful, energetic and had some very unpredictable aggression issues - as in I could not walk him without him lunging and even, to my horror, nipping people on several occasions. My dog was also determined to rip my shoulder out of it's socket. Now we walk without incident and pulling. There have been other bumps along the way, but John always handles them in a very calm and compassionate manner. My dog, who is not overly affectionate, loves to see John: his tail always thumps upon John's arrival.“

“GDB does a great job raising and taking care of dogs. As a care provider they take appts for their dogs and the vet team does a great job monitoring the dog's history. Just brought dog in to take care of allergy and itch related issue and picked up monthly heartguard medicine, weighed, nails clipped and got some antibacterial soap and mint toothpaste. We're ready for the weekend“

“I cannot even begin to express how grateful we are for Lisa, Pete & Carissa!! My father in law always watched our pups when we were out of town. He passed away in January and we were so scared to leave our babies with strangers. Well, they are no longer strangers!! They’re our pups’ best friends!! The up to the minute updates and photos were so reassuring that they were in good hands!! Thank you all for treating our babies like your own❤️“
