| - If youre looking for a place to drop the pooch for a few hours or a weekend, you could do far worse than Inn The Doghouse.
When I first dropped by to take a tour sans the little ankle-biter (well, she doesnt really bite ankles more like try to lick them) on a Saturday, the staff member who toured me around was friendly, informative and welcoming. I like the varied levels of accomodation that are offered at different price points.
Three points that I dont exactly dislike, but that cause me pause, are:
1 - the size of the small dog area. Not quite large enough to get a good scamper in, it pales compared to the large dog area which is very spacious.
2- you can also view your pooch's day via webcam (a great service IMO). It allowed me to observe, on the particular day that I tried it out, that the staff are only in the actual pen with the small dogs infrequently. At other doggie daycare locations, Ive observed attendants in with the dogs 100 % of the time.
3. During our initial "interview", I was sternly told by the owner that my choice of flea/tick preventative medication (which was highly suggested by my vet) was inadequate and that I should consider another option. Opinions are great, like ...well, you know.. Everyone has one, but, frankly, Im going to follow my vets advice vs. someone I met 3 minutes prior.
Still a nice location that I wouldnt hesitate to use as a back up for a day or so to my preferred doggie daycare provider.
