Worth noting

Dog escaped during move and needed search

“helping us search the streets all night for our beloved pup who ran away when we moved to a new neighborhood”

Communication gaps on training follow-up

“I was told I would receive a call from the trainer about what she worked on him with. Now it's three weeks later with no phone call or a follow up call.”

Pet care oversights (bed/toys not given, bathing issues)

“they choose not to give the bed...the office lady told me when I picked him up he had absolutely no interest in his toys which isn't possible...they left the collar on him when they bathed him”
