Pet Boarding Training near Fairview

“They get to know your pet. Jackson was well cared for during his stay. He was exercised and had play time.“

“After trying out a class at Asheville Humane (nice people but way too crowded and chaotic) and meeting with another facility (way too expensive), I am so happy I found Ruff Life! After losing my sweet, very chill 14 y.o. soul mate doggie a little over a year ago, I adopted Harper, a not as chill, but just as sweet Husky mix puppy. I was not quite prepared for the energy and challenges of a high energy, young pup, but after taking the basic Ruff Starters class with Tessa, we are on our way to a happy, peaceful life together. Other than learning basic commands, I came out of the classes feeling like I understand the dog mind much better, so when puppy antics ensue, I have the tools I need to make sure Harper and I understand each other. I loved Tessa's laid back teaching style and that the class size was small (about 6 pups). It wasn't the end of the world if Harper wasn't grasping everything right away or acting out, so I didn't feel judged for my crazy little gremlin not being quite perfect yet. Once Harper is a little older, I plan on taking another class or two. For now, I am continuing to work on the basics and each day gets better and better, thanks to Tessa and her team. Thank you, Ruff Life!“

“Romeo's Doghouse is owned by a wonderful lady who truly cares about the safety and well being of my little guy. Very clean facility and the dogs that are put entrusted to her care are obviously very well taken care of. She also has gone above and beyond what was expected of her when my little guy developed a sudden health issue. I cannot recommend this business enough. I will never use another kennel. Thank you!“

“Best vet I've ever had. My 10 year old dog, Ziggy, had a bacterial infection on his leg for 5 months. He saw 3 other vets and was given tons of antibiotics and other meds to treat it (of course with side effects). I spent thousands on this issue with the other vets. In exasperation I drove from Asheville to Hendersonville to Dr. Howland. Dr. Howland asked if he could look at the bacteria under the microscope so we could treat the exact kind (what??why didn't the others do that?). He gave Ziggy a cream to treat it and it was gone in 2 weeks. The bill was $170. I literally was jaw dropped in the difference in care, price and customer service (the gals at the front desk are awesome too). Most vets have been bought out by private equity and run from corporate now - ie, have to give an expensive, elaborate "treatment plan" and charge at least $500 per visit but White Oak is a gem that still runs by knowledgeable skilled doctors and excellent staff.“

“Bella and Phoenix (cats) enjoyed their vet visit here. Bedside manner has been excellent and they loved their snuggles.“

“Our two Boston's absolutely love Stepamgar!!! They are excited when we pull up the drive!!! That tells me they are well taken care of and that is exactly what we look for in a kennel!!! I wouldn't even think of taking them elsewhere!!!“

“Took incredible care of my dog River for a week. It was only the second time I’ve ever boarded a dog, but the team there made it easy process.“
