I have been a dedicated client of Amity Woods for over 15 years. I used them for vet services and lodging while on vacations. This is not a review reflecting on the vet care my pets have received over the years but on a stay my French bulldog Rudy had in June. I dropped him off on a Friday for a 5 day stay with vet care. I received a phone call on Monday morning stating he can no longer use his hind legs. They say he was kenneled alone Sunday night after no issues but when staff arrived Monday morning he could not get up. He was x-rayed and needed emergency spinal surgery to rectify a disc impeding on his spinal cord. He had no prior issues to this. The expensive surgery was performed and he is on the road to recovery. My issue with the lodge is that they claim the cameras were off over the weekend and all the charting about the weekend was done after the fact Monday afternoon. They attempted to submit a request to their insurance company to help recoup some of the cost for us but as insurance companies do they denied that request. They claimed this is common for French bulldogs. I know no other frenchie with this ailment of being paralyzed after being in a kennel alone overnight. So then I gave the lodge numerous chances to do right by us and perhaps split the cost. My emails and calls have gone unanswered to. They have actually avoided us basically after the first week when they seemed to care. I don't believe they are in the business to hurt pets but it doesn't change the fact it happened on their watch and now we are teaching our frenchie to be back to his normal self with an expensive price tag attached. I'm very disappointed with Amity Woods Lodge and the conscience they have after the incident. Read Less

You will notice extra care the second you enter this beautiful clinic. It’s clean and very friendly with a sanctuary-like feel, thanks to the lovely finches who live in a beautiful enclosure in the waiting area. Their peaceful singing helps create a sense of calm throughout the space. I just brought my senior dog to Dr. Jones for her first appointment with him. She has developed a tumor over the last couple of months, and I was concerned about how to go forward. Ultimately I knew it was time for us to see a new vet, and I’m so grateful we came here. Dr. Jones is so knowledgeable and informative, calm and caring. My dog was so relaxed around him. Talking through possibilities and potential outcomes with Dr. Jones brought me a lot of peace of mind. Alanna the technician was also very informative and kind. I am confident that by taking my dog to Amity Woods, I’m doing the very best for her at this special time in her life, her senior years. Read Less

I have had the opportunity to work as a contractor at Amity Woods. I'm behind the scenes when no one is watching (even the employees) so I think it shows that what I see is consistent. Often times I hear people say, "I'll treat it as if it were mine" but at Amity that would not be near good enough. They treat pets as if they were a celebrity guest. It's unbelievable how good they take care of their clients! Trustworthy and full of integrity even when no one's watching. Read Less

I found Amity while looking at my options to euthanize my beloved Shih Tzu. Everyone there was so wonderful and helped me make the right decision for my Piper. Now I have my Shih Tzu puppy Reese and based on my previous experiences with Amity, I knew they would be the best vet for me. Reese just had his 12 week checkup and our visit couldn’t have gone better. You can tell that all of the staff love animals and want to do what is best for them. They explain everything they are doing and answer any questions you might have so you can feel at ease. I know that I made the right choice to bring my animals here from now on. Read Less

These people are phenomenal! They make you feel like family as soon as you walk in the door. Dr Ebbinger and Dr Jones helped my family through a couple of difficult situations with our animals. I've never had someone care so much for our babies, besides us. When you arrive at Amity Woods, rest assured, you will receive the best care and the best information. Another thing I love about them is, there are no stupid questions! They put in the time and effort that is required to keep owners, and the public, informed and educated about their animals.

For the last 15 years we have been so impressed with the care, the results and the compassion that the entire staff at Amithy Woods has shown to our pets and to our family. Today we had to put down Percy, our last pet. 10 months ago we had to put down her Brother, Bubba. The dogs were over 14 years old and have received excellent care from Amity Woods during their lives. I cannot express my appreciation for the care of our pets and the compassion shown to us in the good times and the end times. I don't know at this time if we will ever have another pet. due to our age, but if we do Amity Woods will continue to be our, and our pets, best friend. Read Less

Very good option for cat lodging. The 17 year old cat visited for 10 days and enjoyed the visit. Visit the vet in advance and have the vet coordinate with the lodge for the required paperwork and the required flea and ticket treatment. The location includes a separate cat location and a cat play location with a cat tree. The noted cat enjoys interaction with both people and pets so the visit was a good visit for both the lodge and the cat. Read Less

I knew I was impressed when I picked up my best friend's dog from boarding, and all the staff members were loving on him, telling us both how much they'd miss him. Then I rescued my own dog, and he came with a set of medical issues like non other. The staff has been incredibly patient while we try med after med after med. They've picked up the phone when I've called and talked things out with me. They've offered to run tests I didn't even know existed. I'm blown away by the ...level of love and care amity has to offer. One thing I know is, amity and their patients are family, and they treat each pet like they're a celebrity and the most important pet. Bills can run a little expensive, but what you're paying for is prompt medical attention, correct diagnoses, and true care. I love the fact that I can call at any time and receive advice (and sometimes get talked off the ledge of panic). You guys are amazing, I recommend you to everyone who's looking for a vet!!!

Everyone from the vet to the receptionist are very friendly and know what their doing. I've taken two of my animals there who sadly had to be put down due to cancer. They sent a card for my ferret to my wife and I saying how sorry they are for our loss. When we had to put down our first baby together cat they took paw prints and put it into a cast and wrote her name on the other side along with another card with kind words for our loss. They know what they are doing and only care about well being of your animal whether it be a ferret, cat, dog, rabbits, rats and so on and so fourth. These people are amazing and actually cares for your animals. To me it doesn't matter how much money they ask as long as my animals are taken care of and they do this even if some times it's hard on us who remain in the physical world. Money isn't everything it's the well being of your animals that should be the most important thing. So if you want your animals to be in good hands then I highly recommend this place because they truly care and want what's best for your furbabies. Read Less

We used Amity a lot when Jody ran the lodge. Since then it has deteriorated. We first noticed it when our directions were not followed. We asked for some biscuits to be given them each day. After a 10 day stay, the biscuit box was unopened. This occurred twice. Second our dog came back with teeth marks in her ears. We found the small dog playtime is unsupervised. Our beagles were attacked by a Jack Russell the second time after the ear punctures and defended themselves. Because of this they are no longer allowed with other small dogs so we had to look for other options. We found two alternatives, Pete and Macs where the attendants care more for the dogs than the job, second larger enclosures and the same price, and finally best of all supervised play time both for the small dogs and larger dogs. Better yet though we found an at home service where my beagles are having a wonderful time. Good Luck if you decide to use Amity. As I said once they were top on the list now they have moved to the bottom. Home Service, Pete and Macs, Elkhound Kennels, then Amity. We might try them again one day if they improve Read Less

So i took my dog there to drop him off when i got there i gave them all of his shot records and paid for it upfront.. when i went back 3 days later to pick him up they brought him out and the young kid was so high that could not walk straight line and was laughing nonstop so i made a comment to the lady behind the desk and all she could do is say im sorry. Then she asked for me to sign the paper work and then she handed me a bill for $320 i told her i had paid in fullwhen i drop him off .she the said that was just for the the boarding this bill is for the shots and to be seen by the vet. So she called her "megan" and she came down and said that they dont take shot records from petsmart and thay had to give all the shots again and had to be seen by the vet.

They tell you one rate over the phone and then charge you another rate. I would not have used their so called services had I of known that there were untrained children that take care of your pets and they over charge by far. I called around and found 3 other places so far that chrage half their rate of which once again was not what they had quoted. None of their staff seems to be on the same page as far as any type of care or any other concerns regarding your pets. I have had multiple experiences with them so far where they would flat out tell you one thing then do another. The medical treatment I paid for in advance for my dog wasn't even being given to him until I said something about it, even then the other staff members weren't aware of what I was told by the other staff member, which seems to be the case quite often. They lure you in because yes the facility does look nice, but why would anyone want their loved animals cared for by a staff that doesn't know what they are doing half the time. You are better off going somewhere better and I can assure you there are many places better than this one in this area. And beware they are more concerned with $$$$$$$ than they are about your pets care. Read Less

I have been a dedicated client of Amity Woods for over 15 years. I used them for vet services and lodging while on vacations. This is not a review reflecting on the vet care my pets have received over the years but on a stay my French bulldog Rudy had in June. I dropped him off on a Friday for a 5 day stay with vet care. I received a phone call on Monday morning stating he can no longer use his hind legs. They say he was kenneled alone Sunday night after no issues but when staff arrived Monday morning he could not get up. He was x-rayed and needed emergency spinal surgery to rectify a disc impeding on his spinal cord. He had no prior issues to this. The expensive surgery was performed and he is on the road to recovery. My issue with the lodge is that they claim the cameras were off over the weekend and all the charting about the weekend was done after the fact Monday afternoon. They attempted to submit a request to their insurance company to help recoup some of the cost for us but as insurance companies do they denied that request.

You will notice extra care the second you enter this beautiful clinic. It’s clean and very friendly with a sanctuary-like feel, thanks to the lovely finches who live in a beautiful enclosure in the waiting area. Their peaceful singing helps create a sense of calm throughout the space. I just brought my senior dog to Dr. Jones for her first appointment with him. She has developed a tumor over the last couple of months, and I was concerned about how to go forward. Ultimately I knew it was time for us to see a new vet, and I’m so grateful we came here. Dr. Jones is so knowledgeable and informative, calm and caring. My dog was so relaxed around him. Talking through possibilities and potential outcomes with Dr. Jones brought me a lot of peace of mind. Alanna the technician was also very informative and kind. I am confident that by taking my dog to Amity Woods, I’m doing the very best for her at this special time in her life, her senior years. Read Less

I have had the opportunity to work as a contractor at Amity Woods. I'm behind the scenes when no one is watching (even the employees) so I think it shows that what I see is consistent. Often times I hear people say, "I'll treat it as if it were mine" but at Amity that would not be near good enough. They treat pets as if they were a celebrity guest. It's unbelievable how good they take care of their clients! Trustworthy and full of integrity even when no one's watching. Read Less

I found Amity while looking at my options to euthanize my beloved Shih Tzu. Everyone there was so wonderful and helped me make the right decision for my Piper. Now I have my Shih Tzu puppy Reese and based on my previous experiences with Amity, I knew they would be the best vet for me. Reese just had his 12 week checkup and our visit couldn’t have gone better. You can tell that all of the staff love animals and want to do what is best for them. They explain everything they are doing and answer any questions you might have so you can feel at ease. I know that I made the right choice to bring my animals here from now on. Read Less

These people are phenomenal! They make you feel like family as soon as you walk in the door. Dr Ebbinger and Dr Jones helped my family through a couple of difficult situations with our animals. I've never had someone care so much for our babies, besides us. When you arrive at Amity Woods, rest assured, you will receive the best care and the best information. Another thing I love about them is, there are no stupid questions! They put in the time and effort that is required to keep owners, and the public, informed and educated about their animals. Thank you so much Amity Woods! Read Less

For the last 15 years we have been so impressed with the care, the results and the compassion that the entire staff at Amithy Woods has shown to our pets and to our family. Today we had to put down Percy, our last pet. 10 months ago we had to put down her Brother, Bubba. The dogs were over 14 years old and have received excellent care from Amity Woods during their lives. I cannot express my appreciation for the care of our pets and the compassion shown to us in the good times and the end times. I don't know at this time if we will ever have another pet. due to our age, but if we do Amity Woods will continue to be our, and our pets, best friend. Read Less

I knew I was impressed when I picked up my best friend's dog from boarding, and all the staff members were loving on him, telling us both how much they'd miss him. Then I rescued my own dog, and he came with a set of medical issues like non other. The staff has been incredibly patient while we try med after med after med. They've picked up the phone when I've called and talked things out with me. They've offered to run tests I didn't even know existed. I'm blown away by the ...level of love and care amity has to offer. One thing I know is, amity and their patients are family, and they treat each pet like they're a celebrity and the most important pet. Bills can run a little expensive, but what you're paying for is prompt medical attention, correct diagnoses, and true care. I love the fact that I can call at any time and receive advice (and sometimes get talked off the ledge of panic). You guys are amazing, I recommend you to everyone who's looking for a vet!!!

Everyone from the vet to the receptionist are very friendly and know what their doing. I've taken two of my animals there who sadly had to be put down due to cancer. They sent a card for my ferret to my wife and I saying how sorry they are for our loss. When we had to put down our first baby together cat they took paw prints and put it into a cast and wrote her name on the other side along with another card with kind words for our loss. They know what they are doing and only care about well being of your animal whether it be a ferret, cat, dog, rabbits, rats and so on and so fourth. These people are amazing and actually cares for your animals. To me it doesn't matter how much money they ask as long as my animals are taken care of and they do this even if some times it's hard on us who remain in the physical world. Money isn't everything it's the well being of your animals that should be the most important thing. So if you want your animals to be in good hands then I highly recommend this place because they truly care and want what's best for your furbabies. Read Less

We used Amity a lot when Jody ran the lodge. Since then it has deteriorated. We first noticed it when our directions were not followed. We asked for some biscuits to be given them each day. After a 10 day stay, the biscuit box was unopened. This occurred twice. Second our dog came back with teeth marks in her ears. We found the small dog playtime is unsupervised. Our beagles were attacked by a Jack Russell the second time after the ear punctures and defended themselves. Because of this they are no longer allowed with other small dogs so we had to look for other options. We found two alternatives, Pete and Macs where the attendants care more for the dogs than the job, second larger enclosures and the same price, and finally best of all supervised play time both for the small dogs and larger dogs. Better yet though we found an at home service where my beagles are having a wonderful time. Good Luck if you decide to use Amity. As I said once they were top on the list now they have moved to the bottom. Home Service, Pete and Macs, Elkhound Kennels, then Amity. We might try them again one day if they improve Read Less

Kennel staff are young kids and dont care and the owner is there only for the money.... i called and they gave me a price for 3 days and was goin to be $67 . So i took my dog there to drop him off when i got there i gave them all of his shot records and paid for it upfront.. when i went back 3 days later to pick him up they brought him out and the young kid was so high that could not walk straight line and was laughing nonstop so i made a comment to the lady behind the desk and all she could do is say im sorry. Then she asked for me to sign the paper work and then she handed me a bill for $320 i told her i had paid in fullwhen i drop him off .she the said that was just for the the boarding this bill is for the shots and to be seen by the vet. So she called her "megan" and she came down and said that they dont take shot records from petsmart and thay had to give all the shots again and had to be seen by the vet.

They tell you one rate over the phone and then charge you another rate. I would not have used their so called services had I of known that there were untrained children that take care of your pets and they over charge by far. I called around and found 3 other places so far that chrage half their rate of which once again was not what they had quoted. None of their staff seems to be on the same page as far as any type of care or any other concerns regarding your pets. I have had multiple experiences with them so far where they would flat out tell you one thing then do another. The medical treatment I paid for in advance for my dog wasn't even being given to him until I said something about it, even then the other staff members weren't aware of what I was told by the other staff member, which seems to be the case quite often. They lure you in because yes the facility does look nice, but why would anyone want their loved animals cared for by a staff that doesn't know what they are doing half the time. You are better off going somewhere better and I can assure you there are many places better than this one in this area.
