| - Dr. Mark Dolginoff and the staff at Paradise Pet Hospital are awesome! We really liked the doctor's personality and the staff's professionalism.
Travel with a dog to other countries that have a stricter regulation like Japan can be a challenge, and many vets just refuse to give a health certificate for that purpose - because not only the paperwork is a hassle but they don't want to assume the liability when something goes wrong.
That just happened to us. Since Dr. Christina Allala left Siena Animal Hospital, we totally got lost at the subject. We visited many vets with 4 to 5 stars found here on Yelp, to no avail.
We are no amateur - we've done this many times when we lived in California. We know exactly what we need to do, and usually "instruct" a vet. But even so, all vets we saw in Vegas just simply said they couldn't do it and would tell us another name who "might" do it - until we found Paradise Pet Hospital.
We've just gotten this done today: had health check, filled out forms, wrote a check amount of $121 to USDA (btw it's been constantly raised- it was like $24 in 2006), then packaged everything with rabies vaccination certificate, FAVN report (rabies titer), a return envelope and sent to the USDA APHIS office in Sacramento, CA.
We're supposed to receive back everything certified by USDA in 48 hours, so it's a bit too early to write this review, but I wanted to share our happy experience with the doctor and staff here.
