Worth noting

Water deprivation and dehydration concerns

โ€œthere was almost NO water available for any of the dogs (my pup was panting from 30 mins in until I could get her back into my own house 2.5 hours later to get her some water)โ€

Dog attack/injury incident

โ€œmy boxer who is super hyper but nothing but lovey was covered in bites. She had scabs all over her ears, chest, side, back, legs, cheeks. And never once did I get contacted or told when I picked her up that they quite early let another dog attack my dog.โ€

Aggressive handling with spray bottle

โ€œI saw her AGGRESSIVELY go after Duke with the spray bottle. Over and Over again she went after him. Chased him down and spraying him in his face.โ€

Illness outbreak (kennel cough/giardia/roundworms)

โ€œmy dog and my boss's dog came home with vomiting & diarrhea...which we soon learned after $300+ of vet visits, testing, & meds was Roundworms, Giardia and Oral Papiloma Virus.โ€

Communication issues(5 mentions)

โ€œI tried calling multiple days to let them know... and no answer. Tried calling... and no answer.โ€

Staff engagement/interaction concerns(3 mentions)

โ€œStaff rarely interact with dogs at all. I saw maybe 1-2 employees the entire time interact with the dogs, the rest were talking across fences with other employees or on their cell phones.โ€

Facility smell(2 mentions)

โ€œthe smell of the facility. When you walk in, it just smells like nasty, wet dog and the air is THICK.โ€

Pricing transparency(2 mentions)

โ€œwe were not told that this would be an additional charge and only found out by looking at our reservation on the app.โ€
