Never disappoint. We had an incident upon picking our pup up from boarding. She had a hot spot and was very fatigued ( not at the fault of our great boarding place ) STAH took us for a same hour let alone same day appointment. Thanks for the great service !

I was looking for a more affordable option, because the place I was taking my pets to had gotten way too pricey for me.
