| - I brought my dog here over the Thanksgiving holiday. I left him on Tuesday to pick him up Saturday. When I dropped him off, they were very on the ball about making sure his shots were up to date. One of the girls behind the counter came around and slowly introduced herself to the dog. We were told that, because he is unaltered, he wouldn't be allowed in daycare with all of the other dogs, which we were fine with. They told us he would get extra one on one play time with staff to make up for the lack of daycare.
We came to check up on him the next day. Our dog does have an anxiety streak in him, so we wanted to make sure everything was fine. One of the trainers brought him out and he seemed so happy and calm. The staff was excellent; I have never boarded an animal before so I was worried about how he would do, but from the looks of him and from what the staff said, he did great! It's been 72 hours since he left and he is not showing any signs of illness.
The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because about an hour into our car ride home, the dog started to yelp and paw frantically at his face. Once I got out of the car and checked on him, I discovered a tick on his face. I checked him over and found three more dead ticks around his body and a spot where it looked like one had been removed recently. I know that a lot of Flea/Tick meds don't kill Ticks immediately, so they can still latch on, but I feel for him to have that many ticks, another dog had to bring them in. I wish they would ask for proof of Flea/Tick meds along with the shot records.
Other than that, it was a great place and I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to board their animal.
