"I was told about The Dog Stop by one of my new neighbors I checked out the website and it sounded really great so decided to stop in to have a look around. \n\nThe entrance of the place is like a store and they have a lot of healthy,hard to find food dog food and treats, which is pretty convenient. I asked the girl at the front desk if she could give me a tour of the rest of the Kennel at that time and I was told that they had \"too many dogs\" and I would have to make a appointment to see the rest of the place. I made my \"tour\" appointment for this week.\n\nI am sorry to say the tour did not go as well as I was hoping. The smell when I walked into the back was sickening. A combination of dried urine, and scented candle. I understand they are dogs and it was raining outside but still I don't think it should have smelled this bad. They have two smaller play areas and there were only about 5 dogs in one and the other had approximately 25-30 little to medium size dogs. The murals on the wall were cute but my dog does not really care about murals. There was a mop bucket and a running fan in the area with the dogs. I was told that the dogs were monitored but I did not witness a person in that play area at that time. The outside access was closed off because it was raining. There is another large area in the back and there were a very large number of dogs in with one person looking after them. It also had a mop bucket, some weathered looking pieces of climbing bridges, a big fan and an empty baby pool. There were also a few play toys thrown around . Again the outside area was closed off. There was a long conveyor belt with fencing on the sides for the dogs to get up to the boarding area. I was not able to see that area because they were cleaning? That baffles me because made an appointment for a tour and I thought that meant the whole place. \n\nThe information on the website for this place is misleading. I was expecting a more pulled together professional atmosphere but that is not what I saw on the \"tour\" and is the primary reason I decided to write a review. After my tour I decided that I was not interested taking my dogs to this Kennel. It might be fine for some but my standards are higher than what they had to offer."^^ . . . "2"^^ . "2"^^ .
