We just picked up our dog from a 4-day stay at Avon Pet Lodge. Our boy was happy to see us and it was clear he really loved the owner and staff there. The owner is very knowledgable of dog behavior and only does what is best for the dog. Each dog is treated as an individual as the staff asked us his likes/dislikes when we dropped him off-- they even asked which side of his bed he likes to sleep on (fuzzy or smooth). We felt comfortable leaving him (even though it was only our second boarding experience) since we knew he was in such kind and capable hands. The next time we have to leave our boy we will know he's happy at Avon Pet Lodge.
