Worth noting

Kennel cough outbreaks - multiple dogs contracted kennel cough after stays, including serious cases requiring vet treatment

โ€œMy 14 year old yorkie came home with kennel cough, and yes, they were vaccinated. My dogs were both hoarse.โ€

Dog died after boarding - serious health incident resulting in pet death

โ€œAfter the second stay my dog got very sick and died. I confronted them and wanted to know what they did to my dog!โ€

Dirty conditions - dogs returning with urine/feces on blankets or smelling terrible

โ€œWhen I picked them up, their blanket was soaked in feces, and they smelled atrocious.โ€

Feeding neglect - dogs not fed according to instructions

โ€œThey have 'forgotten' to feed my dogs... they only fed them once or twiceโ€

Kennel cough/health issues after boarding(12 mentions)

โ€œWe picked up our dog, and she was very skinny... it appears she received 2 cups per day, half of what she requiredโ€

Grooming quality inconsistencies(8 mentions)

โ€œHis eyes were clearly NOT cleaned as there was still gunk and goo in his eyesโ€

Feeding instructions not followed(5 mentions)

โ€œI cannot understand why my feeding directions were not followedโ€

Long wait times for grooming(4 mentions)

โ€œTook our dog in at 930am and it was 430pm before she was finally ready to go homeโ€

Pricing concerns(6 mentions)

โ€œThe only drawback is the expense... the increase in doggie day play is very concerningโ€
