They left my dog alone unattended in an exam room using covid as an excuse for not letting me be with her. She got nervous and urinated on the floor, which they didn't even clean. When I objected, I was accused of not "trusting them" and told I need to have a vet come to my house. It's over. They were my vets for 14 years. No more. They have grown progressively bad, with sloppy services, rude staff, unreturned phone calls, and burned out callous attitudes. Very unfortunate.

When we started looking for a local veterinarian for our new Poodle, Apaw was recommended to us. Our first visit was very pleasant. We signed up for the puppy plan is I would recommend! It would save so much money. The vets are so informative and are very patient with our questions. I completely feel like I can trust them with our puppy. I love the welcome sign that list the animals visiting that day! Makes it a little more personal. They also do boarding! If you are looking for a veterinarian, APAW is a good choice

Georgia at Pick Up A Paw has been amazing and can't recommend her enough - our working cocker Winnie loves her little adventures! One of the services I found super helpful and not easy to find were home visits, especially for those early puppy days when Winnie couldn't get out on a walk and I had to be at the office. You really know that Georgia cares and takes time to understand where you are at with training and key words you are working with and most importantly loves spending time with your pup!

We thoroughly recommend 'Pick up a Paw'! Both our dogs LOVE going for walks with Georgia, she's friendly, great with the dogs, reliable and always manages to accommodate us at short notice! We also love how Georgia regularly updates the facebook page with lovely pics of the doggies! Amazing value for money, definitely give Pick up a Paw a try!

I can't recommend Georgia enough, she's so knowledgable and safety is her number one priority (which is especially important during these times). You can tell she loves all of the dogs as if they are her own and I've never seen Otis as excited as when she walks through the door to collect him for a walk! She's flexible to your needs and her communication is excellent. I know that Otis is in the safest of hands and most importantly has the BEST time on their walks. We can't wait for him to be big enough to join the pack walks!

I am now have a second pet with A.P.A.W. The first was there for 15 years and now a new puppy. the folks there are the nicest and have great follow-up. Everything is explained in detail and the animals are well treated. My puppy was in on Friday and we received a call to check in on her on Saturday. Fantastic customer service! I am a fan!
