    Verified owner · Sept. 2025

    Marina was very nice, she was knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions regarding diet and grooming quickly. She ensured that my visit to pick up my puppy was smooth and that all the paperwork was in order for my puppy to be ready to come back with me to her new home and family.
