Katie was exceptional with answering any and all questions we had concerning our soon-to-be new pup. We were looking at several throughout the Good Dog website but always returned to Katie's page. When we finally decided to take the plunge, she made the process very easy. Thank you for making this experience one to remember. Our little guy, Beignet (Beni), is doing great.
