The Doggie Parlor
“Yesterday, I took my pup to a local vet because he had an embedded dewclaw in his paw pad. After spending $259, I was told that he didn’t like being restrained and was sent home with Gabapentin and Trazodone. I was then told I could either try to cut the dewclaw myself or bring him back and pay another $109–$326, depending on whether the medications calmed him enough or if he needed to be sedated. Needless to say, I was pretty upset and wasn’t comfortable with either option.
I called The Doggie Parlor and explained what had happened. From the moment I spoke with them, they were so caring, understanding, and reassuring. She told me, “Don’t drug your baby up. Just bring him to me.” ❤
They were absolutely AMAZING! She took her time getting him comfortable and never rushed him. Once he was on the table, she let him sniff her hands and the clippers so he could get familiar with everything. She went slowly, talked to him the entire time, and even gave him little breaks between trims to help ease his anxiety.
And you know what? He did SO well! He wasn’t nearly as anxious as we expected, and she was able to take care of his dewclaw without having to drug or sedate him.
She told me to bring him back anytime and didn’t even charge me! 🥹❤
We will DEFINITELY be back! If you have a timid, nervous, or anxious fur baby, I highly recommend The Doggie Parlor. They truly take the time to make your babies feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can tell they genuinely care about the animals in their care, and that means everything to a worried mama! 🐾❤
Thank you, The Doggie Parlor, for treating my baby with so much patience, kindness, and love!”
