I have been bringing my dog to The Dog House for a few weeks; I work 2 jobs one day per week, so he was being boarded overnight once a week. He loved going and the staff was always very nice; however, last Thursday (2/23/12), I brought him to the daycare, just for the day, and picked him up after work. We came home and everything was fine until Friday evening when he was up hacking all night long. Saturday morning he was very lethargic and not eating/drinking. I brought him to a local 24 hour animal hospital and was asked if he had recently been boarded/brought to daycare or to a dog park. Sure enough, he was at daycare just a couple of days prior! It turns out my 8 month old puppy contracted pneumonia and possibly Influenza (bloodwork is still pending for Influenza) while at The Dog House - which in turn means that another dog had the virus and was brought into the facility for the day. Furthermore, this means that several other dogs are 100% infected because the pneumonia is extremely contagious. So, $1500.00 later, numerous medications, doctor visits, breathing treatments, hospital ICU care, etc..my puppy is home, but still sick! He is getting better every day, but I'm upset about this happening.\r

If a dog is sick, they should not be brought to doggy daycare for any reason whatsoever, and being a facility that cares for many dogs, The Dog House should not have allowed any sick animals into the facility.\r

I have lost numerous nights of sleep, money, and have cried over this more than you can imagine. My dog is getting better each day, but it's still a struggle. No one should have to go through this.\r

I just forewarn to be careful with bringing your dog here for daycare/boarding; if sick animals are being let into the facility, this could happen to anyone.\r
