Peter's Airport Shuttle

I didn't ride their shuttle, but had a run in with them on the street in my hood which makes me not ever to want to ride their shuttles.

I was at a T intersection waiting for my turn to make a left turn.  I did not have the right of way...so must yield to lots of traffic coming from my left and right.

Then along comes the shuttle van from my left and making an illegal U.  He could have gone further done a bit on the street I get behind me.  Instead he turns almost into me while blocking the other half of the street!!!!

So I'm still trying to make my left turn and he's YELLING at me to go.  WTF???

I was appalled and got ticked off and yelled back at him.  Clearly there's tons of traffic during lunch time.  He then looked sorry...He should be and now I'm writing this review.

So Mr Asian Dude Driver you suck and I'm going to drive the proper way and not get killed in my neighborhood.  

I'm so NOT EVER taking this shuttle because if this is how one of their drivers drive.  NO THANKS.

Newton loves the freeze dried chicken they carry!  They carry other pet essentials.

Don't expect to find cute pet hoodies, etc here.

 Update - 6/17/2009  
I came back with Newton to get him neutered.  Here's our experience:
- drop off in the morning before work at the nice new and clean hospital
- picked him up around 4ish.  
- total bill was half of my other vet's estimate and you get a discount being an SF resident.  very nice.
- they gave me a aftercare sheet and talked me through everything.

Newton was a bit groggy but we got through the first night.  I trimmed his e-collar so he can drink from his bowl without freaking out.  (great tip from my dogwalker.)  

He was pretty much himself in a couple of days.  He healed pretty nicely in 6 days.  

He has stop lifting his leg and marking and was totally himself again after 7 days.

    The new hospital is very nice (although I've never been to the old one.)  The waiting area is spacious.  There's even a Babies pet shop there so you can occupy your pup.  

    I had to bring my pup in emergency care today and it was really close to my house.  He had bad coughs and just didn't seem like himself anymore.

    Knowledgeable: Very. It's a 2 step process for emergency care.  The nurse looks over you dog first for vitals.  Then off to another room to wait for the vet.  The vet was so very nice and awesome.  She explained everything.  

    Fees:  visit was more expensive than my other vet.  The Rx was reasonable since he's got to take antibiotics for 2 weeks.  However the neutering & microchipping prices are *significantly* lower then my other vet.  (I figure they have tons of experience since they work with alot of animals.)

    Everyone seemed eager to help you and are very nice.  I'm back here for his neutering and microchipping in a few weeks and I feel better about them now.  

    There's validated free parking down the block too.

Wow.  Sylvia rocks.  It was my first (and way overdue) time to bring in Newton.  He is a very very very fluffy 9 month old pom puppy.  I brush him every other day thinking I was doing a great job.  

I told her to keep his fur and just trim his shape.  She looked at his fur and said it was close to matting all over.  anyhow...she was super gentle with him...giving him breaks here and there.  It took 6 hrs but it was completely understandable and worth it!!  I haven't felt his fur so soft and look so shiny in a long time.  He knew it too.  He was wagging his tail all over the place.

I'm coming back for sure. :)

I love this place!  Well Newton does...he likes the little cupcakes that have bacon and peanut butter flavors.  He was a bit suspicious at first but them gobbled them down.  i can't wait to get his bday cake here.  :)

I've also use to take Newton to the puppy socials here every Thursday night.  That was a blast.  

Downside..parking sucks at night.  Not bad during the day.

Love it here!  Everything is reasonably priced...better priced then Petco.  I've gotten really great treat dispensing toys for my little pom.  He loves them.

I've also bought great grooming products from here too: slicker brush, shampoo, ear cleaning solution...

He also gets yummy treats and chew toys from here.

And he got his super cute camo harness and lead here.

I took my parents here when they were in town and I was pleasantly surprised.  The staff was very nice.  The place was warm and cozy.  The goat cheese salad was to die for.  We all enjoyed our entrees.  So all in all we loved it.  I would go back.

Great place to bring your puppy.  :)  They got me in the morning my pup, Newton, had bloody stools 3 months ago.  Everyone is sweet there and loves dogs.  They have plenty of treats to keep him occupied

Knowledgeable: very.  I didn't have to tell them how my little guy didn't need certain shots.  They also suggested a proper shot schedule for him.  Dr Scot and Dr Owens are both great vets!  

Fees: checkup, shot fees, and Rx are not bad... (less than the new SPCA hospital for sure.)  Although I did find dewormers a lot cheaper online.   It was great for them to show me what works.  Then I went on amazon and stock up on the same dewormers for a small fraction of the price.

All in all, I'm very happy with their care.  It's just that they are so far away from me.
