Our dog was boarded here before we adopted him and he couldn't have been happier or cleaner! The place didn't smell like a vets office! Cheryl was amazing!

I have been using Snowflake Pet Center for all my pets for the last 15 years. They have always been kind, compassionate and have thoroughly taken the time to explain matters to me. Dr. Dielo & Dr. Brooks have been wonderful. The receptionist Cheryl is knowledgeable and very friendly.

These people DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR ANIAMLS behind closed doors. They seemed nice and when i picked my dog up it was bleeding and traumatized and starting to bruise. They had no remorse for this action they did and juts shrugged it off and demanded payment. DO NOT BELIEVE THE FAKE 5 STAR REVIEWS. this is not the first time ive heard them abusing our pets.

We have been fostering all the labs we rescue from the New York City area here since 2000. They're very kind and take care of them and very reasonable since we are a non-profit saving labs I would highly recommend them
