Hi, my name is Linda Ferradas and I am a licensed and insured pet stylist. I have been a pet stylist for over 8 years and I am very eager and excited to start my business here at the Minnesota Veterinary Hospital. I put 100% effort in each dog that I groom. I strive to meet the needs of both client and pet when performing my job. I share my love of animals with my three children and wonderful husband. We have been involved with the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center for years by helping to rescue and nurse animals back to their original health. I'd like clients to understand that I can handle many types of dogs and cats, because I take the extra mile in accommodating each pet to their specific needs. I use various techniques to calm stressed out pets for a more comfortable experience.

Heart of Gold Grooming represents my passion and love for all animals. I dedicate this business to my best friend and first love, Adam. He was my first dog, a Golden Retriever, who had a heart of gold. He loved life and is my inspiration in all things that I do.   It is very exciting for me to become a part of Minnesota Veterinary Hospital and I look forward to serving you and your pet.

Care and Attention

Thank you so much to you and your staff. Everyone was so professional and seemed to know what they were doing. Susan and her assistant, kudos to you two! Thank you so much for the care and attention that you all gave to my old man. Hunter means the world to me. It turns out that he has “an extreme inflammation of the eye.” No fungal infection or bacterial growth. We don’t know if the eye is permanently damaged but at least he is going to live!!! Thank you so much and you are now Hunter’s vet clinic from now on.

My dog, Luna, was in yesterday...

My dog, Luna, was in yesterday morning for a grooming which I paid for at the time. Then in yesterday afternoon's mail came a wonderful "welcome" letter from your clinic and a business card for Heart of Gold Grooming with "$10 off First Groom" handwritten in the upper left corner. Since it obviously is too late to use it for the first groom, may I use it next time? I appreciate this as I am on a fixed income and every dollar helps.







I want to let you know how great it felt to receive the "welcome" letter. That's a first in my lifetime!!! And to let you know that I've been impressed with all three of my visits thus far to the clinic. I'm only sorry it took me so long to get out there. You know the saying "The devil is in the details" and I am impressed with details like staff seeming genuinely happy to have me walk through the front door; for taking the time to stand next to me and explain an estimate line by line; by coming around the counter to stand next to me even to have me sign the credit card receipt! Seemingly small things to some, but this manner, attitude, atmosphere seems to be reflected throughout your entire clinic -- and even if people don't articulate it, I know for a fact that they feel it and that should keep them coming through your door. Thank you for your attention to these kinds of details.







Until next time,



Eleanor









I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with your new groomer, Linda Ferradas. I brought Gracie, my mom’s dog, in to get groomed the other day. Since Gracie has arthritis and can’t stand the whole time it makes it difficult to groom her. Also, Gracie tends to get a bit anxious if she’s there too long, so I made sure to talk to Linda in advance to let her know about Gracie’s issues and she assured me that it wouldn’t be a problem to get her groomed. Linda did just an amazing job with her in less than half the normal amount of time. She looked great and she was also treated so well. Linda didn’t put Gracie up on the grooming table, instead she groomed her on a blanket on the floor to ensure Gracie’s comfort nor did she put her in a kennel when she was done, instead she sat with her until I got there so as not to put any undue stress on Gracie.



I am so impressed with her I’ve told my family and friends about how great she did with her, also I’ve already made another appointment with her for my dog Sophie.



Thanks for finding such an amazing groomer!

Minnesota Veterinary Hospital ...

Minnesota Veterinary Hospital (MVH) has been our vet for 15 years. When we got our first dog, someone recommended MVH so we tried it. We liked MVH so much that we continued going there even though there is another vet office much closer to our house.



The MVH office is well-run and prices are reasonable. The décor is simple and practical. I’m glad to see the money is being spent to care for the animals rather than for fancy decorations. The office is clean and comfortable, which is all we really need.



The staff at MVH is wonderful! The receptionists are helpful and knowledgeable. They serve as liaisons between us and the vets and vet techs, and they keep things running smoothly. The vet techs are skilled animal-handlers. They treat my dogs in a gentle, yet matter-of-fact way that reassures my dogs (and me). I always feel comfortable leaving my dogs in their care. They always follow-up after an appointment to make sure treatment plans are working and to answer any questions. The vets are practical, professional, and kind. They answer all our questions and clearly explain the options for medical care. In addition, they understand our values, and help us make choices that fit with our philosophy about animals. Everyone is compassionate and respectful toward animals and people. They are an amazing group!



We are looking forward to many more years of working with everyone at MVH with our new dog, Riley.
