I took my dog to Top Dog for a short stay as I went out of town for a funeral. I picked him up 8/6 and today 8/10 he was diagnosed with KENNEL COUGH. Yes, he has had his bordatella vaccine, but I have found several other reviews with the same complaint. Based on how the diesease is spread, I question the facility, the cleanliness of the place, their policies and their pet handling procedures. Just be aware, this is a problem with this kennel, evidently so much so that now they make you take out a pet policy covering any illness within a week of boarding. Great that they will cover the bill but my dog will now for the rest of his life test positive for Bordetella for the rest of his life, could possibly deal with flare ups and will be more inclined to catch from ANY type of exposure. I will not be a returning customer.
