we just took our dog sadie, a 6 yr. old greyhound mix to My Second Home for the 1st time while we were in Montana for almost a week. When we went to pick her up we could immediately tell that she had a great time; she came and greeted us and gave us a hug and then wanted to go and play. She cried half the way home and avoided us; you could really tell that she missed her new friends! My Second Home costs a little more than the vet's boarding but is much much much better. The last time we had boarded her at her vet's office and when i went to pick her up she nearly knocked me over and made a beeline for my car in the parking lot and clung to me like glue; you could tell she wanted out of there! When we picked her up from my second home she was clean and happy. we were given a report card of how she had played with the other dogs, how she had eaten and her elimination. we also had a picture of her playing in the yard outside!!! you could tell she was having fun in the picture and was in the middle of having a blast!! they also place name tag collars on them so that they can identify them and it has their business address and number just in case they were to jump over the fence or something. they also gather a lot of info. when you bring your pet in such as where they like to be petted; what are their favorite toys and activities. they adapt to your dog; i.e. our dog does not eat on a schedule, they said that was fine and that they would just leave her bowl in her place. i cannot say how happy we were to have found my second home for our dog; it is worth every penny and we will be going back!!
