I just read phmahers review of Doggiecamp and I am stunned at the cruelty in her description. I have first hand knowledge of this establishment and nothing could be further than the truth. While it is true that dogs will bark when someone approaches, isn't that normal for dogs. They are very social and all are pets. The owners have three dogs of their own who socialize with the campers every day. They are exercised in the one acre enclosed yard in a redwood forest. There are large pots of fresh water everywhere. There is shade and a run area. There is always someone only feet away from them. Violent dogs are not accepted and if one gets in the owners are careful to immediately separate the dog from other campers. The hallway described is the length of the house and is kept open during the day so the dogs in the yard can come into the hall if they choose. There are some dog beds kept in there for them. Yes, there is a commercial washer and dryer in the hallway for keeping the beds and towels clean. This hallway can get dirty with dogs in and out all day. But it has porcelin floors and walls which are cleaned and disinfected regularly. Phmaher seemed upset about not getting a DVD of his/her dog. Perhaps this is why the unfair and untrue description of doggiecamp was written. Doggiecamp is a joy for the animals and for their owners who can relax while they are away knowing their pets are happy, safe and part of a loving family.
Pros: No kennels, loving atmosphere, lots of exercise
Cons: A little out of the way
