TOPSAILSTAR PET CENTER REVIEWS

Excellent service. My senior beagle was treated very well. I would like to extend my special thanks to all the staff who toke care of scooby. He loved going there, always got the extra attention and care needed. Unfortunately I my boy passed away on Saturday. It is a big loss he was my partner and best friend for 12 years. Best kennel in st John's. Take care.

Being away from my dog, for me, makes me extremely anxious! I had heard nothing but amazing reviews about TopsailStar ; and you guys did not disappoint! After boarding and daycare, my pup came home ready for some treats and a cuddle ! I appreciate it more then you know. And Aurora and I will be back for sure !!!.

our beagle gabby was happy, so we were happy,the staff our extremely friendly and knowledgeable gabby took to them right away that means alot we will definitely be back in the future, Gabby thanks you both.

LIV BETTER DOG TRAINING REVIEWS

My two year old mix-mix-husky and I have done two training programs - High School Hounds and College Canines - with Liv Better. Highly recommend! The space is great, classes are orderly, and positive learning happens at a good pace. The weekly High School Hounds take-aways are great resource material. The field trips of Canine College really help transfer the class learning to real-life situations.

Heidi is the best. Her love of dogs is evident and her knowledge is top notch. She is very approachable, welcomes any questions and is just so good at what she does. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, professional trainer. Harry loves her so much..he thinks her treats are the best.

Heidi is highly knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher. My puppy always has fun in her classes and learned so much. I’d highly recommend her program.

RUFFIN' IT CANINE CLUB REVIEWS

Puppy classes with Ashley have been great! She's super nurturing to every pup's unique personality and challenges, and really supportive to the puppy parents too. The puppy Play groups have allowed us to socialize our puppy during the messy winter months in a safe and fun environment. Thanks Ashley.

Fantastic grooming service for our two lads! It's truly a spa day for them when they go there! They were greeted at the door and had no hesitation being left there for the grooming. We've had several dogs now and have been to an array of groomers..............I have no hesitation in saying that this one is in a class of it's own! Try it once; you will return.

This is my second time taking Ellie my Standard Poodle to Monica to get groomed. Monica did a beautiful job both times and made Ellie look gorgeous. Ellie is sometimes nervous when it comes to getting groomed but Monica is excellent with her and I can honestly say that this time Ellie was actually excited to go there. Thank you so much...you guys are awesome.
