Every day I wake up without the love of my life,she was the most special husky wolf.She was my…read moreeverything.Because of the neglect and lack of care by this facility,and their untrained staff,she's dead. I was rescuing a foster puppy but hadn't been informed that she had been exposed to distemper,until after she arrived. I hurriedly got my 4 dogs into boarding even though they were vaccinated,I wanted to keep my wolf safe,since our last foster gave her kennel cough. The morning I was supposed to pick up my pack,I got a call as I was heading out the door.One of my dogs was dead,they wouldn't tell me who,even though they knew. I was in shock but tried to keep everything straight so when I finally had time to process it,I would have all the facts committed to memory in order. I arrived and saw the love of my life on a rolling cart. She was covered in blood. Her jugular had been severed and her intestines eaten out. After kissing her face and telling her I loved her more than anything,I wanted to see my other dogs.One of my dogs had many cuts on her so the staff thought she was guilty,but that dog is very submissive,afraid of everything,and she worshipped my wolf.The reason she had so many cuts was because the dog who killed my wolf went after her first. The best friend of the wolf had broken a tooth probably from trying to intervene.She also had bite marks on her face so the guilty dog had also gone after her. When I asked Cody what happened he said he had heard lots of barking around 4a,but it ended quickly. Upon asking him 2 other times,once he responded he only heard a scuffle no barking,and the last time he said no one heard anything. The first time I asked him about what happened that day,he said he fed them after I left but I said I was here until 2 and you said you fed them at 2 for their last meal.He said oh then I fed them at 1 because you were coming.Then he didn't check on them again until the next morning at 7a.1p to 7a is a long time to keep 4 big dogs together in a space that no more than 2 small dogs should share,especially when their own rules say no more than 2 dogs would be kept together at a time. The next time I asked what happened he said he fed them at 2p and they all wanted to be together in the same space. Well that's not true,because my wolf and her best friend were terrified to go into the barn.I don't even want to think about what they went through to make them that afraid to go into the barn,but my dogs were brave,so it must not have been good. The 3rd time I asked what happened that day Cody said,I followed your written directions.I said well that can't be right because my directions said to feed them 12 hours apart and you stop feeding them at 2p you said. Months afterwards he says that I had been feeding them when I visited,which I wouldn't do,because that's THEIR job.So that means they were being starved the whole time they were there.They were getting breakfast maybe,but then I would visit so they weren't being fed dinner,not at 2p,or7p like instructed in writing on their paperwork. So then,they didn't feed them,kept all 4 big dogs stuck together like sardines in a tiny little cell,that was hot,that they didn't let out for 17 hours!!!And then they tried to skirt their accountability by saying I was feeding them when I wasn't,which only proves Cody wasn't feeding them either. ALL of this could have been avoided if Cody had checked with me,hey your dogs are all together in the same cell,should I separate them,like they had supposedly been doing?And I would've said yes,separate them.Or if Cody had asked hey,when you visited,did you feed them?I would've said no,because that's your job.Just like it's your job to follow your own rules of not having more than 2 dogs together at a time. And now...I get to wake up screaming out of dreams periodically,though this happened 7 months ago,and I can't stop missing my dog who died so tragically,who was then vomited up by the dog who killed her,and that dog had to be euthanized because she could never be around other animals safely again.I have 2 dogs left who are traumatized,one of whom was blamed by the staff because they couldn't figure out that she was attacked first.Yet Cody still works there,the staff still defends him,when he's completely in the wrong,can't read dog behavior at all,didn't do his job,completely neglected feeding them or letting them out,for 17 hours!!!And I will never get my love back :( Now that they are being completely dismissive,and didn't even bother with an investigation,or holding Cody accountable for his negligence,now I can't stay quiet. I know I can't be the first to have my pets be treated badly,or neglected,and I'm terrified for anyone who brings their pets there. Please keep your animals safe and take them ANYWHERE else. I miss my wolf girl every day.She's never out of mind,nor is my guilt for taking her to the place where she would meet her death,due to their lack of care,neglect and dismissive behavior.

When I arrived at the kennel to drop off my dog they seemed unaware that I had a reservation for…read moreboarding. Saying "they forgot to write it down". I was scheduled to pick my dog up on a Tuesday (dropped off Saturday AM), however I was going to be delayed and not going to be able to be back until Wednesday. I called the kennel to discuss at 3pm on Monday. I received no answer so left a message. There was no return call that night and I called again at 8 am Tuesday, no answer again. After leaving another message I called every hour that morning. Finally I asked my son to leave work to go get my dog as I was overwhelmed with worry. When he arrived to pick up my dog they were unable to locate all the items I had brought in and were generally disorganized. I can't say that my dog was mistreated but he was certainly stressed. While I was panicking about my dog Tuesday morning I unfortunately found a very sad review on Yelp about West Eugene Kennel. I would recommend finding kennel services elsewhere. Don't take the chance.

Hopefully they figured it out. WE took our two Westies here to be groomed after my having such an awful time at Oh My Dog. WELL. WONDERFUL. That's all. Sarah was a groomer, and she was FAN.TASTIC. I used to show Westies - I KNOW I'm picky. I know not every groomer knows breed standards. I have made concessions for that in the past. With Sarah, I didn't have to. She was so detailed, and made SURE she knew what I wanted and expected. And didn't treat me like I was overbearing for asking for what I wanted. I paid $98 for both dogs - and couldn't be happier. She knows dogs. She's friendly. She's precise. She's professional. She frankly, saved my idea of finding a real groomer in Eugene. As far as the shop, I love all the swanky puppy toys and treats. It can be a bit pricey, but it's a specialty store, and if I'm looking for frilly and fun, I KNOW where I can get it. Frankly, as long as they keep Sarah, I'll MAKE a point to go in and spend. I get my pups toothbrushes there too - and even when I'm only spending $1.50 - they're still nice and grateful. Love this place.

I recognized her last name and realized I was in the right place. I will never for get the first phone call with LeeAnn and I cried through the whole phone conversation. I think I answered a couple of questions. One thing I didn't like about other dog trainers that I tried was all the games and confusing dog training style .With my very first appointment with them, they knew the problem and got on it immediately to help me and my lab. They were very good with helping me when I wasn't quite sure if I was doing the right thing. They are amazing. I took every class they recommended. I also did doggie day care with training two days a week for a month. I now have the very best relationship with my boy. The only place he stays when I go out of town and can't take him with is with LeeAnn and her team. He also has doggie daycare days. We are like family. I would highly recommend them for any of your dog care needs.
