. "I've used the Dog Stop about 15 times for half day doggie care. The staff is SUPER nice, and love my dog (always remember his name, tell him what a good dog he is when he comes in, etc). The price is also really reasonable, especially since I don't feel he needs anything extra afterwards. HOWEVER, my dog keeps getting sick every couple of times I take him there. So far, he's had kennel cough twice, and indeterminate diarrhea twice after a visit. My vet stated she sees it a lot in dogs there, because they have such a large group of dogs. I love the staff and their attitude, but after spending $300+ on antibiotics, care, and vet appointments, I'm starting to rethink taking him back. I'll probably still take him when I have to have my dog-free time, but it's frustrating that I have to spend this much money on his health.\n\n\nUPDATE: 8/22/11\nAfter giving the Dog Stop some more chances, I have discontinued going there completely. When I went to pick up my dog after a half day in June, his ear was bitten and there was dried blood all over it. They never even mentioned that he had been bitten to me. Thankfully, it didn't go through the ear - I know he can be a little rambunctious, but he's only 20lbs and has big, delicate ears (and he's my lil babette!), so I REALLY didn't appreciate him getting bitten and ESPECIALLY didn't like not being alerted to it at all. I called and the owner later apologized. Then my husband took him back while I was out of town and he caught bacterial dermatitis, which was another $100 and antibiotics to cure (and is still inflamed and red around his neck). The vet said it's because of the pools they let the animals sit in to cool down. Lastly, I watched one of the webcam sessions, and noticed that the staff continuously allow pushy, dominant little dogs to bite and chase my dog. I'm officially DONE with this doggy daycare, which cost me $150 in paid sessions and $600+ in vet bills."^^ . . "2"^^ . "1"^^ . "15"^^ . "2011-02-26T00:00:00"^^ . . "0"^^ .
