We chose to leave our dog at Apolda for a week based on the strong reviews we read. After our experience I question the authenticity of many of the positive reviews on this kennel. Before you leave your dog at this kennel PLEASE inspect the actual pen your dog will be kept and ask questions. \r

You will see the building and the pens are filthy miserable tiny concrete cells (I would imagine comparable to a jail cell) with an access door to another tiny external concrete space. There is nothing for your dog to play with, no dog bed to sleep on and no grass to play on or do its business. Your dog will not have the opportunity to run outside or play with other dogs as all dogs are isolated from eachother and not allowed out. They are just locked up in the tiny concrete cell until you bail them out. Unfortunately I was in a rush when I dropped off my dog and did not learn all this until I picked her up.\r

The owner seems nice enough and the grooming service was satisfactory at best. Howev
