Worth noting

Dog injured while boarding (nose cuts from crate rubbing)

my dog has some cuts on his nose that no one told me anything about... my dog scraped off his nose by the crate for being anxious

Dog became sick after stay (URI/kennel cough)

she came back sick and it seems she didn't have her meals or she got a different food, because she was sick the day after I picked up

Staff handling concerns

I saw that my dog was being bullied and chased by a dominant dog and the staff did nothing to stop it

Overcrowding concerns

There had to be over 40 dogs in one fenced in area today

Pricing changes and fees(8 mentions)

they completely changed their pricing and it's the cost of a mortgage I am so sad and disappointed Feels like a real money grab from loyal customers

Communication gaps(5 mentions)

I have been the only one in the lobby dropping off my dog and still have to wait at least 5 min for anyone to come get her

Report card/documentation issues(4 mentions)

I did not get a report card on Jakey and only a partially filled one on Trudie. They were there for 8 days so I would have expected more.

Camera quality issues(3 mentions)

the camera's but they are not useful at all, and the quality is very poor you will not see anything at all
