Pet Boarding Training near Spring Hill

“I was so lucky that there was a cancelation and they were able to take my brothers dog while he was having an emergency. They did a great job with Holly and she was well cared for. She was bathed and happy when we picked her up.“

“Matt helped us when our dog Zeppelin started showing dog aggression and went after a neighborhood dog. Matt gave us great tips and tools, which made a huge difference in Zeppelin’s confidence, as well as our confidence in Zep. We have learned to advocate for him, and not put him in situations that could set him up for failure. We highly recommend Matt.“

“Was not a client. Had an emergency for my dog. Got me in immediately. Very nice, compassionate staff.“

“My husband and I were visiting from out of town when our senior pup suddenly started some very erratic behavior. The care he received at Goose Creek was wonderful! They fit us in quickly and connected with his vet at home, provided a thorough exam, and took plenty of time to talk through his symptoms and care options. If we lived in the area, this would be our go-to vet.“

“We love Bear Creek Boarding! The owner is super sweet and took care of our Golden Retriever for 5 days while we went to Michigan.“

“I'm not sure how I'm writing this today but that goes to show how meaningful and moving our experience at this vet was yesterday when we had to put our french bulldog Oliver down.

We have been taking our dogs to Dr. Mitch since we moved here 5 yrs ago. Oliver was mostly there because he developed IVDD when he was 5 soon after we moved here. IVDD is a genetic spinal disorder common in this breed. A month after bringing our dogs here for vaxs, Oliver had a flare up overnight and we had to rush him to the emergency vet in CS. He could barely walk. Their response was either a $10K surgery or put him down. We were devasted but my gut told me to wait for Dr. Mitch in the morning and do some research. Well we did and thank god we did.

Dr, Mitch saw him first thing and and did acupuncture on him as well as prescribed us some meds and also chinese herbs for dogs. He was realistic and matter of fact but extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He said there was a chance it wouldn't get better but a bigger chance that it would. We would likely have to deal with this on and off because its genetic but it could improve...and in 2 days it did! Dr. Mitch gave us an extra 3 yrs with Oliver. Was he back to perfect? No, but we knew what we had to do and eventually knew it would take him but boy did he live well those 3 yrs.

Fast forward to a few days ago...Oliver had the worst flare up yet. None of his limbs were working properly. He couldn't walk, eat or go potty. We brought him to see Dr. Mitch (who Oliver didn't really like lol and he'd try to bite him) and we did more acupuncture and meds. We brought him home and this time it didn't work. Dr. Mitch was honest and said if he didn't improve we'd have some choices to make. He didn't push an expensive surgery that was a 50/50 shot, or push us to do anything he was just good at treating animals.

We ended up bringing Oliver in to put him to rest. It was one of the worst days of our lives. It seems dramatic, but he had been there while all of our kids grew, during good times and bad and even when we brought him a new friend home...a wiener dog who he loved. All of our 4 kids were there with us and Oliver but Dr. Mitch wasn't in that day. Dr. Cason was and what a blessing that was. Believe it or not, I had never met Dr. Cason before but he did something our family will cherish the rest of our lives. Dr. Cason saw our despair but explained what the process was. His staff was genuinely sad for us and very helpful. He then asked if he could pray for us and Oliver. It was so kind and thoughtful and eased the experience and also cemented why I'll never go to another vet and why we moved to TN. That 1 act alone changed everything. Thank you Dr. Mitch for trying all the things, thank you staff, and thank you to Dr, Cason who was such a huge blessing for our family during such a difficult time.“

“Amazing experience. Friendly, wonderful, affordable and did a fantastic job. We will be regulars.“
