I came home from a trip a day early to find my dog wet and filty, her bed and toy covered with urine and feces and her front paws injured and cut after spending 2 nights at the dog spa. When I brought her home she was extremely hungry, thirsty and lethargic. She spent the rest of the day licking her wounded paws. The employees refused to show me the crate where she had been kept, they offered no explanation for why she was soaking wet, and did not see a problem with her spending the night covered in her own waste. This was the second time her bed had been soiled during a stay with atlanta dog spa even though she is completely housebroken. She has boarded at Barking Hound twice without any accidents or soiling her bed in recent months. I feel terrible for giving atlanta dog spa another opportunity, and I will never do it again. The owner did not see any problem with the condition of the dog and told me that if I wasn't happy, I should take her back to Barking Hound. I will. I feel extremely lucky that my dog is only acting slightly traumatized from the experience and is suffering only from two hurt, bloody paws instead of something much more serious.
