Worth noting
Dog death - no explanation, no call, no apology provided to owner
โThey did something to my very healthy baby he ended up dying. Literally no explanation . No calls. No apologies. No nothing.โ
Dog attacked and injured by another dog - no staff supervision present
โMy dog was left to bleed out all day when another bit his ear off and I was not aware... there were no caretakers present in the video.โ
Dog killed by another dog on premises - safety breach, no cameras in incident area
โMy Dog Charlie was Killed at Social Pawz... A 14 year Dog Doberman (viktor) known to be aggressive killed her... They don't have cameras (that I know of) where you can watch your dog throughout the day, but honestly, I prefer that.โ
Dog contracted illness from facility - no communication to owner
โWe picked him up on Monday and noticed immediately that he had a bad cough... Social Pawz told us absolutely nothing about this... they were disinfecting it.โ
Staff unfriendliness at front desk(3 mentions)
โWe walked into a young man and woman at the desk. She never looked up to acknowledge usโ
