I didn't personally bring our dog, but my husband did. So, a little background: Our dog was abused and then abandoned. Then she was adopted and brought back to the shelter. When we adopted her, she was scared and tentative. She ran away from us as soon she could! She's petrified of older, deep voiced men. (This is where the abuse came in, we believe) She has scars and her hip/one toe is extremely crooked. Needless to say, she's had a hard life. Well, I've fallen in love with this fur baby. When we moved, I was soooo scared to take her to a new vet. I have trouble with letting people handle her stronger than she is comfortable. She wouldn't hurt a fly, but she has given a warning snip (no contact) when getting her nails done. They muzzled her and I about cried. (This is not the same clinic, this was one before.) Fast forward yesterday: She had to get her shots, heart worm test, and nails cut. They let my husband help retrain her to cut her nails, no muzzle or nipping. She didn't want the treats (she can be a bit snobby...) so they went and got cheese whiz and started using it and, boom, she ate anything they used it on! This is the FIRST time anyone did something to make sure she was loved on after being poked and prodded. I am very impressed and will definitely be back with her!! Read Less
