We take our pointer to A-VIP on roughly a once-a-week basis for daycare, and board him probably a weekend every two to three months, with one or two extended stays of a week per year. He always gets extremely excited when he recognizes the streets that show he's being driven there, then runs in happy and leaves happy. The staff are always friendly and always extremely professional. I do note that some of the negative reviews mention that dogs smelled or seemed dirty when they were picked up. Those times when we have had our dog washed before picking him up after boarding, he's been immaculate. When we have not had the extra service done of our dog being washed, he then has the same "dog" smell that he would have after going to a dog run for an hour. We are very glad to have found this kennel and daycare.
