On early trips we left the dog at the Petco boarding. It was OK, but not an option I was thrilled with. One day I stumbled on Animal Inn as an option near where we were staying. It was fortuitous. They have become out go to place. Even after as long as a year, they remember her. Our dog normally uses a raw diet, and this year they require cooking the food first. Oh well.
So far as I can tell, they care. The staff turnover is low. The dog is well cared for. She's well and happy when we pick her up. That's everything I can ask for.
