   Sunshine Pet care in League City is the best pet sitting place. Also,yummy dog treats.

8. 

   Cheryl Phillips on March 6, 2011 at 2:21 pm

   Sunshine Pet Care in League City is the best! The owner is a very caring, nurturing dog-lover and makes delicious snacks for your pup, also.

   Where is the best boarding/cats or cat specialties listed ? Even though there are far more cats in U.S. households, they seem to be somewhat forgotten. And since they are our quieter friends I feel we should draw more attention to their speciific needs. We, in Houston are extremely lucky to have at least seven cat only veterinarian clinics and many multi-animal practices who have cat specialists on staff. We really need to publicize this so that kitties get the care they need from a vet who doesn’t treat them like a small dog. Cats are defineitely different. So how about more cat specific articles?

    Jackie Beasley on March 6, 2011 at 5:30 pm

    Live Oak Pet Service is a pet crematory that has been there for me before and after the hardest times in saying goodbye to my pet. Thank you live oak staff for your heart felt concerns and care.

    Best Friends Veterinary Hospital & Best Friends Boarding & Grooming in Spring Texas South on the feeder of I-45 right past Woodlands Mall. … All pets are treated with nothing but the love & attention to all their needs from the moment they enter the door till the moment they leave…Highly recommend.

21. 

    mmantor on March 7, 2011 at 1:19 pm

    The categories for cats are best cat grooming, most friendly staff and best boarding facility (this was not distinguished between cats and dogs because many of the pet resorts also board cats. FatCat Flats is one of the choices..thanks for your input! And yes, we need more cat articles. It seems that only veterinarians want to write about cats. If you have ideas of wirters that would like to submit cat topics, we are all ears!

22. 

    DeAnna Gillenwater on March 7, 2011 at 8:25 pm

    Different Strokes Pet Boutique is the BEST!! I mail order all of my cat and dog food from her and they have the cutest pet costumes!! The homemade dog biscuits are wonderful–my dog just loves them! The owner is so knowledgable and is so caring — Im so glad I found this boutique!!! One of a kind!!

33. 

    Cindy on March 10, 2011 at 6:19 pm

    PET PARADISE located by Bush airport is THE BEST , hands down ( or paws down ),

    I am a picky doggie mom and I am totally satisfied how they take care of my baby !

34. 

    Sarah B on March 12, 2011 at 8:33 am

    Catnip Inn is the best cat groomer in town! They also have the best cat boarding facility se up in the world!!! Cats who are not confrontational can roam freely and not put in a small 2×2 cage (or something ridiculous!)

    The staff is also wonderful! They truly care about your :kitties and our cats like going there! They are the BEST!!

35. 

    Fran Brown on March 12, 2011 at 11:41 am

    I was surprised to see, once again, that Different Strokes Pet Boutique is not on the ballot for Best Re-tail Shop. The solution, obviously is to write it in. It’s a great shop, carrying unique and useful items for you and your pets. I’ve dealt with them many times and have always been satisfied!

36. 

    Gizmo on March 13, 2011 at 12:38 pm

    hello!!! Pawty Palace doesn’t groom kitties!

37. 

    Oxana on March 13, 2011 at 5:28 pm

    I love Catnip Inn! If you want to someone take care your cat, this is the best choise for your cat! They are doing excellent job for cat! I love it! The best cat grooming!

38. 

    mmantor on March 14, 2011 at 1:56 pm

    Yes they do…at least according to the owner, Jennifer.

39. 

    mmantor on March 14, 2011 at 1:58 pm

    As noted in our intro, PetTalk ad sponsors are the listed choices; we can’t possibly list all businesses, however, we encourage you to write in your favorites! Shelly at Different Strokes does a great job with her store and PetFest, so please write in your vote in the “other” category.
    Thanks!

    Voting for Jim Burwell’s Petiquette, for best dog trainer in Houston

42. 

    Juliette D. Sang on March 21, 2011 at 7:00 pm

    Claws and Paws Veterinary Hospital (www.CPVH.com) in Pearland. No pet clothes or stuffed toys – just high quality vet services. Drs. Ramsey and Wickel, and their staff, are TOPS in personal attention. We’ve been through a lot in 10+ years, way beyond the everyday vaccination care. They’ve saved one pet’s life, and helped us part with others. They take the time to answer questions, to make sure issues and resolution options are understood. I recommend them to all pet-friends, and would entrust my life to their ICU vs any human hospital. Dr. W. is also a Cert. Vet. Acupuncturist and offers natural medicine options.

43. 

    Matt and Jen on March 24, 2011 at 5:13 pm

    For the Love of Pets is an awesome pet sitting service!

44. 

    Colleen on March 24, 2011 at 6:07 pm

49. 

    Sherry Pilkington on March 29, 2011 at 9:51 am

    A Dog’s Life is a wonderful caring place to have my companions groomed. They are very loving with the animals and do a beautiful job. I had all but given up finding a place that I and most importantly my pets could depend on and enjoy. Plus they have a boutique with unique items that I really enjoy.

50. 

    Peggy Tinsley on March 29, 2011 at 8:21 pm

    You need to add Katy to area of town

51.

    herman on March 30, 2011 at 6:47 am

    Wouldn’t it be nice if Pet Talk Magazine could give a community service award to ALL the Animal Rescue facility’s and their Volunteers?

53. 

    Teresa Case on April 1, 2011 at 11:24 am

    Canine Country Club has been a blessing for me. I know whether I board my dog or just leave her for day care, that she is getting a ton of exercise and play time. It is truly a great place.

54. 

    Micshelle Hardy on April 6, 2011 at 11:21 pm

    Add Priviledged Pets in Katy to Best Boarding Facility. You left no place to write in our favorite facility although other categories offered this opportunity.

61. 

    Jackie Price on May 17, 2011 at 8:21 am

    Go Club Canine

62. 

    Ashley Segal on May 18, 2011 at 12:51 am

    Club Canine has been an absolute life changing experience for us and our dogs. I never realized how out of balance we were untill Dean Miller at Club Canine really showed us how much easier life with our two boxers could be. We thought we had it good, but now…we have it great! I would reccomend Dean at Club Canine over and over and over again. My 4 year old and 7 year old boxers are turing into helathy and engaged family memebers, like we always wanted.

63. 

    Carol Brownstein on May 24, 2011 at 10:03 am

    Catnip Inn is a wonderful cat caring service, with an amazing play area for cats.
