Worth noting

Dog safety incident involving an attack

Had my little pup here a total of 5 minutes before he was attacked by another dog.

Cleanliness and hygiene failure during boarding

we got our dogs back with feces in their fur.

Grooming injury or distress

they traumatized our corgi by trimming her nails too close.

Failure to follow feeding instructions, including a veterinary diet

they ran out of the kibble we sent them because they were feeding our dogs twice a day instead of once a day

Insufficient communication about kennel cough exposure

They haven’t put ANY signs up for Kennel Cough in the month + that they’ve had it..

Insufficient disclosure of evening access restrictions

Lack of information on the website of this stipulation.

Boarding care and service reliability(3 mentions)

We've boarded with them 3 times in the last year and had something go wrong each time.

Confusion about dog park status, pricing, or access(2 mentions)

I wish they wouldn't make it sound like a public park if it's all private pay

Health-risk communication and signage(2 mentions)

They haven’t put ANY signs up for Kennel Cough in the month + that they’ve had it..

Pricing and affordability(2 mentions)

A bit pricey for college students and low income people. $25 a day.
