| - I think this place is fine. There are definitely fancier kennels in the Pittsburgh area, with more outdoor playing space, recently-updated interiors, and stuff like that, but they cost more than I can afford if I need to go out of town for a weekend. The lack of Sunday hours is a bit displeasing, but definitely not out of the ordinary unless you're in a major metropolitan area (which, much as we all love the Burgh, we know it ain't the big city.) The 9-5 hours are a little bit constraining in conjunction with the lack of weekend hours, though -- it wouldn't kill them to stay open an hour or two later on Mondays and Fridays, so that people could drop off and pick up their animals a bit easier.
My dog is a dignified older gentleman who wouldn't do well in a situation where he had to interact with rambunctious young pups without my being there, which knocks several of the local kennels out of the running. He's always happy to see me when I come pick him up, but he's never come home sick or emotionally traumatized. I usually get him a bath and a nail trim while he's there, and they seem to do a perfectly fine job with that. Plus the location is very convenient to my work, so that it doesn't take too big a chunk out of my workday to retrieve Mr. Mammal. I'll keep using them until I leave this city.
