Laurel Acres Kennel is a horrible place to leave your family member. Most of the employee's do not care one bit about your dog or cat unless he or she is one of their favorite breeds. They want their employees to use force against dogs and if they do not then they are considered weak. If your dog is mistreated and you have a complaint against the manager, do not expect the owners to help the situation. In fact, they will take the managers side and refuse to remidy the situation even if the dog is physically abused. They are rude to customers and have no patience with any type of dog unless of course it fits with their liking. If your dog is sick or in pain, it is likely that it will be ignored and the dog's owners will not be contacted and informed of the situation. This kennel gives the appearance of a really nice place; however, unless your dog has no personality and no needs, this is not the place for them. The clean runs and facilities are just a facade for lack of care and attention given at all times. Most often, people are paying for things that are not getting completely done or done thuroughly. I was informed that in order for my dog to walk absolutely perfectly and at their side he was choked to the point that his feet were off the ground and he was making awful choking noises. I expect my dog to be disciplined by me, not the kennel. If I wanted my dog to be trained, I would have put him in obedience school instead of a kennel. I did NOT pay them to choke my dog. The dogs are kept inside all night and have no way of relieving themselves unless they do it on their blankets. When I have picked my dog up from the kennel the treats that I left him were given right back to me, showing that he was not givn any treats during his stay. I pack these treats for a reason: to help comfort my dog while I am away from him. Bottom Line: Do NOT bring your animal here. It is a place that is disfunctional, rude, mean, abusive, and neglectful. My dog will never come here again and if you care about your dog neither will they.
Pros: Nothing
