He waits and cries at the door waiting for Thunder. It's been a great experience for us. When we travel, we also reach out to Thunder to board our dog. It's a great circle of trust, entertainment & support for our dog & us. We've been working with Thunder for several years now. He's a great guy and has a gift for working with dogs. We appreciate him and having him in our lives.

Thunder took my dog and my moms dog after a few aggressive fights between them. Both dogs had been…read moreslowly developing more aggressive behavior over time, and after their big fight they couldn't be together, when before they were best friends. After staying with Thunder for two weeks, they came back so much happier and calmer, and can now be together again. Would 100% recommend Thunder, he saved the family from a very stressful situation. Thank you!

I think this is a good kennel and my dog enjoyed it, but we can't go back now because they require…read moremore vaccinations than our veterinarian recommends. How can that be? They want an influenza vaccination, but my dog gets sick with her vaccinations and that one is not required by anyone else. I'm not going to risk her getting sick. I also couldn't take her to this kennel when she was less than a year old, because they required her to be spayed before the doctor recommended it. The doctor wanted her to wait until she had her first cycle, but this location required it even before that. I appreciate that they care about the health of the dogs, but I don't know how they can require things that go against the veterinarians recommendation. Very disappointing- we would like to be regular clients.

I wanted to switch up my dogs routine, so I decided to enroll her for day care. I didn't know what…read moreto expect and her interview day went really well! So I took her back for a second time, full day. When I went back the 2nd day, the facility smelled putrid. I understand it's an animal facility so it's not going to smell like roses and daisies but it was pretty bad even with a mask on, so ventilation is a concern at this point. My dog came back smelling atrocious. Again, dog facility, she's playing all day, she's gonna get a little stinky. She smelled like she was sitting in a dirty kennel for days, she was only there a few hours. As soon as we got home she went straight into the bath, her smell was offensive AF. Lastly, my baby unfortunately is now sick. Took her on Thursday by Saturday she was showing symptoms :-/ She is vaccinated for Bordetella and Flu, but she still got sick, her lungs sound awful. My dog is super healthy so for her to get sick after her 2nd day, it sucks and scary for me to even board her or bring her back. It's always a risk your dog will get sick just like kids at regular daycare. Would better sanitation/ventilation help? I dunno, maybe? What do I know lol Unfortunately, we won't be coming back Unfortunately, I think anyone that is looking for care for their pup... it's tough and scary to try new places. I think private care is probably the best route tbh after this experience. Take a chance but be aware of what to expect. The other review similar to mine are insanely consistent :-/ Update: I haven't had a chance to update. My dog unfortunately also ended up with skin bacteria resulting in a gross rash on her under belly/side. Fortunately, after some care and creams she healed up fine. Needless to say, not a great experience :-/

I called these people several times and left messages. According to their voicemail they return…read morecalls in 24 to 48 hours. I received no return phone call inquiring about my dogs nails. I left two messages and I waited and waited. So I decided to contact the mobile pet groomers who are more expensive but reliable and they return phone calls!!!

Enter at your own risk ! You've been warned!
