Worth noting
Lack of photo updates during boarding
“I knocked off one star because in the past when boarding they kept us updated with photos and a small blurb about how things were going. This was my current dog's first boarding experience, and it would have been nice to hear from them at least once during the 4 nights he spent there.”
