My dog King has been going there for a little over a year he is 2 years old right now 70 lb German Shepherd. He loves to staff there he gets his shots there the veterinarian took the time to speak with me over the phone over questions that I had the last time I took him for shots. Over the last couple of weeks he has been boarding there as well. The team is extremely polite, friendly, & informative.
The place is very clean, they are efficient and effective. I'm very particular about my dog because he is my family he is my child but when I leave him there I feel happy and comfortable and trust he's in great hands. I highly recommend you bring your pets here. When I was unable to be reached they even reached out to my uncle in Atlanta because I had lost my phone, they went above and beyond doing that and I really appreciate it. I highly recommend this place!

The doctor and staff are wonderful with our two dogs, including the one who is very owner protective and dog reactive. I trust them completely with their care. Update: Oaks North did us a HUGE favor by boarding both our dogs when a family emergency came up and we had to leave town right away. They gladly took them in with very little notice. I can't thank them enough.
