We left our sweet sight hound mix at Dalton's for a week recently...and so, so regret it. This place and the staff are horrible. While on the phone booking the stay, and while checking in, the staff screamed at dogs. When picking our dog up, the owner apologized to a woman that they had screamed at a dog while on the phone with her and made up an excuse as to why, so it seems to be the way they treat animals regularly. I am not confident that they know much about animal behavior and how to treat animals. Large amounts of old poop on the ground, so very unclean. When brought to owners attentions she got mad. Cannot talk with her to get information or express concerns or she gets mad. Biggest concern was that when we picked up our dog she was so thin...actually lost half her weight and could see bones. She is only a small hound dog, and thin to begin with, so with the wt loss we were very concerned. Owner of course told us, as she seems to tell everyone...oh, she did great. We would have appreciated a call letting us know she would not eat and wonder how attentive and if they even noticed. They did not even bring it to our attention when they brought her to us to check out. To us it was startling. Also, more expensive per day than the website says. Expensive compared to other local places. Poor care. Dirty. Poor service. Owner angers easily. Lack of understanding of animal behavior and that it is not good to scream at nervous dogs who are away from home. Run from this place. Do not put your animal there. We have had better luck and care elsewhere.
Pros: Has openings so can take your dog
Cons: poop laying all over, screams at dogs, not attentive to dogs
