Healthy Hounds and Fat Cats

"My dog has been attending daycare at HHFC (commonly referred to as puppy play school in my house) for about 5 months now, and today he is just as excited and happy to go as he was as a little guy, which speaks to the level of care he is given there, and the fun that he has at daycare while I work 4 days per week. He has also boarded with them on several occasions, and he is happy at drop off and pick up. It has become his second home, and I love that I can leave him while I work or go out of town, knowing that he is safe, happy and well taken care of by his extended family there! The peace of mind is worth every dollar, and I’m so happy to have been referred to them when I got him. Whenever we say we are going to puppy school he gets excited and is ready to go. :) I would also like to note that Ollie has been going there since he was a little pup, and I have not experienced behavioral problems with him at home, so I do believe that the staff has reinforced the things that mattered to me when he was little, such as no jumping or biting, and my now 50 pound pup does not jump on people when he is excited or bite hands when playing or being fed treats etc. Lastly, I appreciate that the owner does not allow unvaccinated dogs to stay, as it has helped keep my pup healthy despite his very social lifestyle!"

"The ladies at Healthy Hounds were amazing. 10/10 recommend! The building is hard to find, and don’t use Google Maps as it takes you to their old location on highway 160. Their new location is at the intersection of Bodo & Turner drive, and not well marked. Our family adopted an Aussie who was quite overgrown, and yes, I know they’re long haired, double-coated dogs. I was expecting long hair, but he was shaggy! Brodie had probably 6-7 inches of hair and looked more like a sheepdog than an Aussie. We could tell he was hot and uncomfortable, not to mention matted and dirty from not getting the grooming he needed for a couple of years. We had called around Farmington, Aztec, Bloomfield, and Durango, and everywhere was booked up for over a month, but these ladies were able to pencil us in on a cancellation a week sooner than any appointments available anywhere else I called. They gave Brodie the full treatment top to bottom for $150, which was more than I liked but much less than I expected for how much work he was. To get him sheered down, de-shedded, de-matted, with a nail trim, sanitary haircut, and gland expression, plus a wash and dry in under 5 hours was excellent. Y’all, don’t sleep on these ladies!"

"This place is terrible! We called them to try and get our dog boarded while we rode the train. We are on vacation and needed a place to keep her for a little bit. They said they needed her vaccinations...so I called and got them emailed to them. Then they said they needed a specific one not given in Texas but available at Tractor Supply. I tried to call them fifty times for information and no one would answer the phone. At the last minute they said she should have gotten the vaccine a day or two beforehand. I guess while they weren't answering the phone"

"Their hours align with some of the train timetables which is fantastic. And if the train is delayed in returning they'll keep your dogs in an area accessible outside so the customer can retrieve their pups after hours, like our case recently. They even speak German which was appreciated since our dogs are trained in the language. Wonderful place."

"I would not bring my dog back here unless I absolutely had to. The reason I'm giving them two stars over one is because at least I was able to get the dog washed. I use a lot of do-it-yourself dog washes and this was the worst! They were out of half the shampoos and they had no conditioner. The area was dirty and if it hadn't been that I needed to wash her so badly I would have left. In addition that was the most expensive do-it-yourself dog wash I've ever done and they didn't even have what I needed. I wish they would have told me that when I called because I could have brought my own products and use their facilities and I would have been happier. It wasn't until I got back and realized that they didn't have the things I wanted and it was too late to leave which was frustrating because when they took my money at the beginning of the dog wash they could have told me they were out of certain items. When I asked if it was just that the containers were not full she told me that they were out. I wasn't offered a discount or invited to come back when they had everything in stock. Instead they were full of excuses. They took my money and did not deliver the experience I expected. The attitude of the woman running the front was that I should just be happy I was able to get my dog bathed."
