The Local Bark

Death of a dog in care

“Unfortunately she died in their care due to unknown causes. Their story was she was outside and started having irregular breathing, so they took her inside where she collapsed and died.”

Severe medical neglect/infection

“The Vet stated if we'd have left him there only a couple more days with this infection, he could have suffered permanent eye damage.”

Development of behavioral issues (aggression)

“he developed a food aggression issue while in their care... their response was to attempt to remove the bowl with their foot or a fake prosthetic hand.”

Health/Illness after stay

“Each time we got our Lab back after only a few days stay, he had to go straight to the Vet.”

Lack of follow-up on inquiries

“Never heard from there again. No following up on what's needed, or updates on whether or not his records were accepted.”

Price increases/High cost

“We don’t use it as often as we did in the past as their prices have gone up.”
