“Just had our first visit and I am blown away!!! My 70-lb bully mix, Ferdinand, absolutely hates vet visits and this is the only office that made him feel comfortable enough to even be touched. Dr. East & Jessica were incredibly kind and understanding, even when Ferdie started to act out which I felt so bad about. He didn't need a muzzle during the exam which was shocking because we've tried 4 other vets in the city this year alone, and none of them were able to lay a single finger on him. Dr. East & Jessica sat on the floor with Ferdie and were super reassuring with him the entire time. Even when he started to snap at them, they were so calm and patient as opposed to all the other vets we've tried who got offended and refused to try comforting him. You can tell they truly love animals and had my dog's best interests in mind. The ladies at the front desk were also so lovely. Would highly recommend to anyone on the search for a new vet, especially if you have an anxious baby like mine. I am so grateful I found this office - finally one that I trust and plan to go back to. Thank you to the entire RVCOC team!“

“This is the first time I put my dog in boarding after 11 years as my dog sitter wasn’t available. A friend recommended Mahwah Groom and Board. I had him go for a few trials before my big trip. Both times, he came home happy. My trip was almost two weeks. They sent me pictures and photos of Dexter while I was away. He looked happy and I was reassured that he was in good hands. I also had him groomed before I picked him up. He came back happy and beautiful. I will definitely board him again when I am away.“

“Le Pooch Chateau is wonderful! Donna and her team did a great job taking care of our 5 month old puppy Maddy last month! They showed us around and sent us pictures. It was our first time being away from Maddy and we felt at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend Le Pooch chateau!“

“Deanne has been incredibly generous with her time and patience as I navigated life with not just one, but two puppies. Before meeting her, I was honestly feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Through our conversations, I learned so much and was able to refine both my approach and understanding of puppy care.
Whether it was arranging puppy playdates, being a supportive sounding board, or even running home from the park in the pouring rain—puppies in tow—Deanne was always reliable, flexible, and accommodating. Her written summaries were especially helpful for keeping me focused and reminding me of our current goals.
We all have our own ways of communicating and doing things, and I truly appreciated that Deanne created space for a therapeutic relationship to develop at a pace that felt comfortable for both me and my puppies. Her support has made a real difference for us.“

“The groomer and everyone on staff are amazing-facilities are super clean-really great experience“

“We are so appreciative of all the work they put in with Bella. A pleasure to work with and so incredibly good at what they do. After Bella’s training - we saw a night and day difference. Can not recommend enough!“

“Bailey loves his weekly play dates with Lauren! My very energetic fur baby learned to socialize and play with other dogs in a safe environment. So thankful for her.“

“As a professional certified trainer and AKC Evaluator, I see many dog handlers and professional walkers. Most of them I almost can't watch as they pay no attention to their pack. These ladies are proper handlers, love dogs and are super conscientious. The only reason I would consider offering board and train is because I will trust these ladies to properly keep the dogs while they are in a board & train two-week protocol. I know that not only are they seasoned dog people, but they love what they do!“

“We’ve done two sessions with Pat and we’re already seeing a difference in our dog’s overall behavior. Pat is knowledgeable, thorough, and affable. Would highly recommend“

“So far I like this place and what they offer. I’m a first time dog owner. Tho I had dogs when I was younger I didn’t own them. Alex helped me over the phone. He was helpful as well as Eric I believe his name was, he helped me in person. I appreciate the time and will be returning to this place. It’s far but worth the travel“

“My dog loves his time at HoundsTown and I love the staff there- knowing he is safe and in capable hands!“

“We love puppy play! Gives the pup time to hang out with other dogs and get social skills plus he is able to get out a lot of energy.“

“I took my dog Hershey, who has had bad grooming expierences else where. I have to say I was nervous but the staff and even the groomer Janet was amazing !!!!!!!!!!! Thankyou for handling my baby with care, patience and professionalism you guys are gems and a big asset to the location ! I can't thankyou guys enough! WE WILL BE BACK!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Brett is an awesome trainer who works well with both people and their dogs. He is always positive and shares good news from long term overnight stays.“

“Carols is a rockstar , he helped us out and addressed all our concerns including scheduling and availability. We are back to being happy and regular customers.“

“I have a diabetic senior dog who is on a very regimented schedule for feeding and insulin. For the past 5 months, I've had to hand-feed her meals 3x a day to ensure she could receive her insulin doses. This process became unattainable and very stressful, so I reached out to Frank at Behavior Plus for advice. He offered an assortment of suggestions - adding specific products to her meals to entice her, removing metal bowls from her feeding, adding in a treat/reward approach during feeding times, etc. He also suggested her actions may be related to behavior issues and associating the kibble with pain. We made the changes Frank offered and now our dog is eating on her own for the first time in months! Big thanks to Frank and his team at BPDT - their compassion for pets (and their human parents) are like no other. I am forever grateful for his time and expertise in getting my dog back to her normal self.“

“Mixy Paws was perfect! I needed 3 times a day walking for 2 weeks for my planned surgery. They were willing to work with me in advance. I wanted to make sure I was covered as I was more nervous about my dog than my own surgery. Someone came to my house to meet my dog, Lola, (no charge) before beginning. They aimed for 2 primary walkers… All the walkers were great and super punctual. After every walk I got a little narrative, a picture or 2, and documentation of ifshe did #1 and/or #2. And a request for my rating of the walk… always excellent. They were absolutely terrific.“

“The owner takes a lot of pride in striving for five star service with both grooming and day care. Friendly staff, and excellent accommodations. Had a groom I needed for my mini schnauzer, and although they had to cancel last minute due to a conflict within their staff, the owner went over and beyond to make it up to me. Can't expect perfection all the time, but the way a business handles customer inconvenience speaks volumes to the character of their business and service. Camp canine did just that. Highly recommended!“

“We love Puppy Tale Lodge! This place is a gem. The staff is unbelievably kind, caring, and patient. We love how they let our large dog roam around after his bath instead of keeping him crated up. He always smells fantastic after. They do a great job cleaning his ears and cutting his nails. You can tell they really care for the dogs and like what they do. Would recommend to all looking for any grooming service. We feel so comfortable leaving our dog here for a few hours. They offer optional payment through an app, and notify you when your dog needs to be picked up. Puppy Tale Lodge also ensures all vaccinations are up to date which we really appreciate.“

“Lex and her team of groomers always do a fantastic job with our two Morkies. I especially love how quick the girls are in and out - in under 2 hours - without spending all day there. And, I also love the personalized attention our girls get. I really disliked that at a different place I previously took them in Montclair that would keep each pup for 4+ hours which was extremely stressful for them.“

“My husband and I have a five year old Whoodle (wheaten terrier and poodle mix). She has issues with resource guarding with myself and my husband when we are around other dogs. We’ve seen various trainers over the years with mix success and assurance over their credentials.

After long deliberation and research, we decided to get another Whoodle puppy. My husband has allergies to dogs and this is one of the few breeds he has found that do not cause inflammation. I was very anxious about the situation in case our current dog would be aggressive or unsettled with the addition. Before we got the puppy, we consulted with our vet, Heart of Chelsea (who is generally amazing). Heart of Chelsea recommend we contact one of their preferred trainers, which included Amanda Gagnon dog training.

From the point of booking the initial session, they were lovely to work with. Their services might be slightly more expensive that the neighborhood dog trainer, but they are worth every penny as these people are the real deal. Melissa came to our apartment to meet our current dog and help us with some tips on how to integrate a puppy as well as how to approach our dog’s aggressive behavior toward other dogs. Melissa so professional, smart, but also real. It didn’t feel like she was in any way judgmental or condescending. She offered great advice in person and also via email for follow-up questions. We had her come back again after we get the puppy to check-in on approach and progress. Their services SIGNIFICANTLY reduced my angst about the new puppy situation and made me feel like I had realistic, logical, and positive methods to tackle the situation.

I cannot recommend this Company more for care with your beloved dogs. Melissa and Amanda Gagnon are now go-to resources for us in making sure our furry family members are happy and healthy.“

“Best dog sitter I have ever had! I am from Canada and used this service for my youngest pup while travelling. I wish they were closer. Will certainly get them again anytime I am in the NJ/NYC area. Very fast at responding to messages, very polite and kind, incredibly reasonable price, and my little boy seemed so happy when I picked him up!“
