What Reviews Say

237 reviews analyzed

Town and Country Animal Care Center receives overwhelmingly positive reviews for its veterinary services, daycare, and boarding, with many customers staying 10-20+ years. However, significant concerns emerge around the grooming department (multiple reports of dogs being shaved incorrectly), safety incidents (dogs returning injured or sick), and management attitude lacking empathy. The facility is praised for its caring staff, excellent vets, and dog happiness, but value concerns and occasional communication breakdowns prevent higher scores. The boarding and veterinary sides appear to be separately owned, which may explain the discrepancy in service quality.
