If I could, I would give it no stars, but that's not an option. Its great in the fact it has an indoor swimming pool&self-wash area, but I feel its not enough to convince people to come here for boarding&daycare. There is no capacity limit, so its not common for the place to be over crowded; which can raise the risk of dog fights braking out. At the most they have 3 -4 people out with dogs; the dogs obviously out number the people, which again, creates the possibility for conflicts. There are dog aggressive dogs there; I have talked with other clients and vets, that told me there have been more the one occasion, where a dog needed stitches at this location. I don't want to take a gamble my dog could be injured; I don't have the money to cover hefty vet bills. I only imagine the dogs causing conflicts aren't at fault. If you take a moment to see how large the pace is; its no big surprise some dogs just wouldn't do well in a small area, that becomes even smaller as more dogs come in for daycare. That's a lot of dogs with many personalities and energies being mixed. Just not a smart or safe idea to not limit the number of dogs coming in.
Now I see some people have talked about the management. Someone even mentioned they don't really care how the employees are treated: that the treatment of dogs is what maters. Well it all goes hand to hand, but in a facility dealing with animals; it sure hell matters how the people are treated. Animals feed off of our emotions and energy; if the staff are feeling stressed, unhappy, or any negative emotions; those dogs for sure are aware of that and then it makes them not feel so secure and it raises the risk of a fight happening. I think it matters greatly how a business treats their employees because it can reflect on how they think or treat their customers.
I will not support a business that treats its workers poorly and I think everyone should feel the same way. The workers are the legs, foundation of any business and its important to not forget that. We've all experienced bad and good jobs, so why should we ignore the people who are currently working for someone who does not care about their well being? It effects us all and it effects our dogs, so no thank you. If the low prices of this place out weighs how the dogs and people are treated; well then that says a lot about you, doesn't it? I'm willing to spend the extra dollar to a place that feels warm, welcoming, and proves to be a positive place for everyone involved. I will not be bringing my dog here or supporting a place that can't even be respectful to their employees; all life maters to me and how its treated and this place obviously cares about money and not life.
