| - We have a shih tzu we inherited with my mother-in-law's sudden passing a couple of years ago. We love to travel and originally kept our loving pooch at the animal hospital in town that my mother-in-law used. Sergio would be put in a small cage on a shelf. They had no green area to walk a dog at which, in the summer in Vegas can be a problem with the heat of the black top and concrete. Also, and maybe this sounds picky, but it used to take 10-15 minutes to check our dog in as well as pick him up. There always seemed to be somebody new at the desk and taking our dog back to the kennel area.
We decided to try a new "fancy" boarder which bragged about TVs in the larger cages. This sounds terrible and very superficial, but we didn't like the family that ran that place. They just seemed to try to fill you with b.s. and had an arrogant edge. The pricing was high and I couldn't justify spending $12 for a 30-minute tummy rub (well, unless it was put on video).
We called a couple more boarding facilities which just had this desire to sell you every service known to mankind in addition to 30-minute tummy rubs. You felt like you were being sold a time-share unit.
My wife originally didn't want to call or visit Paws 'n Claws because of its location, east of I-95 near Boulder Highway. I ignored her advice and called Paws 'n Claws. I spoke with Donna, who turns out is the owner. She didn't brag about spa-like treatments or the ability to watch my dog by Skype 24 hours a day. (I know what our dog looks like sleeping).
Instead, she quoted a good price, not great, but not objectionable. She said our pet had to be current on its shots and told us to come over for a visit. The building is not new, but it's a pet boarding business. It has a large grass lot attached to it for large dogs to play in and a small covered area for small dogs to play in. They have an inside area and a run which goes outside. Instead of a small cage, our pet has about a 12-foot long area and his cage is next to other dog's cages for socializing.
The owners live upstairs above the kennel area. It is a true family business with their daughter also working there. What is so nice is they like animals, it is very obvious their affection for their guests. A family member is always there, as compared to a part-time 17-year old. (nothing against 17-year olds)
No longer does Sergio drop his tail as he begrudgingly walks to the cages at the animal hospital. He comes into Paws 'n Claws with his tail wagging and has no issue going back to the kennel area. We feel like our beloved pet is in the hands of people who care and will treat him very well.
