Worth noting
Breed restrictions policy
“they have breed restrictions and my dogs wouldn't be allowed to stay there. IMAGINE: you go to a hospital or hotel and they say oh you can't be seen /stay here because of your race. Absolutely disgusting.”
Dogs not allowed to bark - strict environment rules
“they say dogs 'aren't allowed to bark' and if they do bark they aren't welcome back. something is off about here.”
Small kennels/boarding areas - solitary confinement feel
“They are small with closed in walls and no way for the dogs to look out of their confined area. No music no distractions. It felt like solitary confinement.”
Phone communication issues
“Not returning a phone call regarding a future stay, then not answering the phone.”
Too many rules and regulations(3 mentions)
“Too many rules and regulations, not to mention the breed restrictions. Seems to me like the owner needs a reality check along with an actual love for dogs.”
