Dog attack/injury incident - dog suffered 7 bite wounds
βOur dog was attacked by another dog in the Romper Room. The vet said incidents like this aren't uncommon in dog daycaresβbut that doesn't make them acceptable.β
Dog left crated for 5+ hours during daycare
βI dropped him off at 8:30am and the last time I saw him on the webcam was 9am. He had been locked in the crate since 9am. That's 5 hours!!!β
Water gun used on dog in crate
βthe 'coach' was walking by the crate spraying a water gun into the crate my dog came out of after I called up there.β

Communication breakdown/lack of updates(3 mentions)
