Cedarcrest Animal Clinic

best care
Reviewer: C r

I have exotics, and was bouncing between Cedar Crest and another clinic. I found Cedar Crest to be the best for the care of my exotics. They have performed amazing feats with them. The staff has always been polite, and never rude. I have never seen dogs in the pet runs when I have been waiting. I drive over 2-hours to take my exotics for their special needs. I highly recommend Cedar Crest.

I just spent 3 weeks working in the Fisherville area and Cedar Crest was recommended to me by the hotel staff. I took my Shih Tzu, Chyna, there daily while I worked. The staff was great, everyone treated Chyna as their own. She was happy, well cared for, and ready go back the next day! My thanks to the entire staff that I met and interacted with each day; my work days were worry free knowing Chyna was in your care! Hope to see you again.

Okay so I think it is time to set the record straight about Cedarcrest for everyone on here. I worked there for about a year and honestly there isn't a review on here that I completely disagree with. Cedarcrest is the cleanest facility you can take your animals to in the area. Even the sidewalks are clean. The only thing wrong with Cedarcrest is their management technique and the way the employees are treated. Yes, some of the animals belongings are put in a closet, SOME, but the reason is so they don't tear them up out of anxiety and the owner isn't mad or frustrated that they now have to go replace it. The animals are checked every 20 mins and as for the comment about them being out in the winter, when I worked there they were only out for a maximum of 30 minutes while we cleaned the runs. And that maximum is if there was a huge mess. Now about Dr. O, he's a pretty good doctor when it comes to patients, the only time I had a problem with the medical side of it is when it came to my animals. The employee's animals aren't taken as seriously as regular patients. But I was there many times when we all stayed late because an emergency came in, whether it was a stray or a regular patient. So their heart is definitely in it. Cedarcrest is a great place to take your animals, but some ex employee's have been upset with the way they are treated so they tend to only see the negative. I am being completely honest with you, as for Megan, some of the things she said were exaggerated. The only thing I suggest if taking your animal to Cedarcest to board is to bring your own food, the food they feed is horrible, lowest grade you can buy. Oh and la te dah, if the kennel looked that bad, it probably meant someone was out sick and they were short handed OR someone was not doing their job, but I worked there for a year and NEVER saw it like that.

Megans dumb.

Reviewer: Maddy

I currently work at Cedarcrest as a care provider and have to disagree with any negative comments made. I know we all work very hard to keep all pets comfortable, happy, and very clean at all times!Any special instructions by owners are followed and we give our guestthe best care. I'm sorry to anyone who has had a bad experience but Cedarcrest is by far the BEST.

I have to agree with Megan. I have never worked there, but I have had nothing but bad experiences with these people. Most of the employees and the Dr's are VERY rude. You can tell that the staff doesn't want to be there. The Office manager is the rudest person I have ever met in my life. I caught them off guard one day and asked for a tour of the kennel. first of all the smell was horrible. There was poop and pee everywhere and I never saw the first person back there except for the woman who was giving me the tour. She immediately called for a staff member to come and clean. It also seems that every time I take my dogs in there, they come out worse off then when they entered. I will not take my animals back there and I don't recommend anyone else going there either. From reading previous comments I see that many of you are very defensive about Cedarcrest. Maybe you just have not had any bad experiences yet. We all have out opinions, and this is mine.

I too worked for Cedarcrest
Reviewer: Ecb

I too worked for Cedarcrest (as well as other local vets) and I won't take my pets anywhere else. Dr O is great, and when I was there all staff was always on the ball. The level of clean in this facility is unmatched anywhere. I am proud to say my pets are taken to Cedarcrest.

Cedarcrest from an ex- employee
Reviewer: Charity

Cedercrest is a great place to take your animals to. I worked there recently and often found myself wishing that I was a dog so I could stay there and get treated so well. The way all of the employees treat the animals is with love really. I loved working there enjoying seeing the diffrent dogs that came in and seeing the owners faces when they would have their dog returned to them. The dogs are checked very 20 min to make sure their water is fresh and that the guest are happy and comfy. Nothing megan said was true at all please take it from me. They are the best place to board your dog.

~Cedarcrest puts their hearts and souls into our animals and I think it is sad that anyone would put down such an amazing place and amazing people. God bless Cedarcrest and all the kindness they share.~

Reviewer: Kelly

My pets have stayed at Cedarcrest many times I personally would not board my pets anywhere else. They have always made arrangements for me no matter what the issues are/or why I have to leave on short notice. My dog spent alot of time there before he died and I'm truley thankful that he had people around him that knew and loved him before he passed. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that when he was at cedarcrest he was well taken care of. Dr. Olkowski is the best and will do whatever it takes to help save a pets life. So for Megan to come up with the things she is saying is ludacris. I have toured the kennal and they are very clean, So clean that you wouldn\\\'t even know that dogs were kept there. So I don\\\'t know why you left, but I\\\'m glad you are gone because if they let you go you most likely didn\\\'t do your job the cedarcrest way. My advise to Megan is to try and find a job that better suites her. Cedarcrest is the very best and I hope that others caught on.

Megan, if you are going to complain about ex-employers it might be wise to leave you name off the form. I hope you never need them for a future reference.

Reviewer: Jim

I agree with Bob, my pet goes to Cedarcrest and I have been nothing but satisfied with the service and care that my pets recieve.

Reviewer: Bob

Wow, Megan, sounds like a bad employee got fired and is acting out. My experience with Cedar Crest has been wonderful. I sure hope you were off the days my dog was there.

Reviewer: Megan

Cedarcrest is the absolute worst place you can take your animals. Knowing from personal experience as an ex-employee, I have seen what happens behind closed doors and you would be horrified if you knew some of the things that went on while you left your pet in their care. When specific directions are given to take care of the pet they are disreguarded. If the pet is left overnight with belongings, they are put in a large wooden closet in the vestibule with the pets name on it instead of being given to the pet as directed. In Wintery conditions, the pets are still left outside in the runs for up to 5 or 6 hours in the freezing cold and or rain. There have been numerous animals that have died under Dr. Olkowski's care which are then wrapped in blue plastic and put in the storage shed right outside of the front of the building when there is no more room left inside. These animals are taken weekly and sometimes daily to Commonwealth to be cremated. Needless to say I never brought my animals there and found a job elsewhere soon after my 90 days. If you would like to speak with the woman who is in charge of all of these "protocols" as she calls them, simply ask for Cindy Barret herself.
