I am surprised in this area in which I live, with all the dogs in my neighborhood, there are only 2 reviews for this business. The lack of positive praise on line and a neighbour's not-so-great opinion of At The Oaks almost kept us from going here but one day we did call to see if we could drop by, same day to check out the facilities. It is just so close to home for us. Us coming by was no problem at all. Staff have always been great on the phone with us. There is a vet area and in a separate building right next door, grooming and boarding for larger dogs. In the vet building, there is a room for small and medium sized dogs re boarding. The buildings were clean and Bobbi was happy to show us around. Several dogs were being boarded in both areas. Dogs go out x2 a day and I like the fact that they are not socialized, just in case. There are outdoor runs for the dog to do its business, run and play but the outdoor run is not connect to the indoor run as I have seen in other places. If your dog is a digger, we were told that the fence continues underground so there can be no escape.We were impressed enough that we took our puppy in for an exam and her shots this week. The space was just as clean today as it was last week.There was a bit of paperwork for our first time in but no wait beyond that. The girls at the front were very nice and loved on our dog. The vet was prompt and was all business. No small talk. He checked our pup out, voiced that she was very healthy and administered her shots. I was surprised how little time it took and I was ok with that. (no questions asked of us about what food she is eating, did not ask us if we had any concerns/questions) Then poof, he was gone. I know this may be a turn off for some but we just wanted her taken care of and at a fair price.TIP On Saturdays, this business has a clinic 8am-noon where vaccinations are 25% off. I will know next time to take advantage of this!I would have have no problem returning here for my dog's and cat's needs. Read Less
