I've taken my two labs here a few times and couldn't be happier! Here are some examples of why this…read moreplace is great: - I don't put them in the same kennel as each other, but they always make sure to have them next to each other! My younger lab got attacked by a couple of dogs when he was 7 months and is very timid. They are always accommodating and put him in an end kennel or next to a quieter dog. - They don't get annoyed when I call asking how they are every day! They even sent me a picture of my pup playing in the pool. They're all so involved that any of them can tell me how they're doing when I call. - My dogs come home happy and tired. - I have set meals and treats for them and they're on top of it! I also want to add for all the negative reviews about kennel cough...My older dog caught kennel cough at other kennels in the past and got it the first time at Laurel Acres, but it's common and can't really be prevented. I toured the facility and it was spotless. Kennel cough can be spread by airborne droplets and there is no possible way to prevent that.

I hate that I have to make this review about LAK but as a long term customer, I'm completely…read moreheartbroken and disappointed in the downfall of the care and overhead of this company. Owner- you should really reevaluate the future of this business. And treat your employees better. Unwanted employees = mistreated pets Customers- please trust your intuition when bringing your pet here. You have no idea how your dogs day is going based on your interactions with the front desk. Yes it's pretty and has loads of room but really think about it first.. I WAS a customer of 2 years . My dog Mazikeen is a very high energy dog who has trouble connecting with other dogs because she's too much. This fact is something I KNOW . She finally found a place that accepted her and had friends to play with. I DO NOT bring her to daycare because I have to , I ONLY bring her for her to be able to play with other dogs. These folks constantly told me how much they loved my dog and NEEEEVER told me they had a problem with my dogs energy even though we constantly check and make sure she's welcomed there. I would never take my baby somewhere she's not welcomed. They've fired staff that adored my dog and have new workers CONSTANTLY. I just found out they've been letting me book play yards ( we do full day care with all play yards so she can have fun which is over $100) KNOWING SHE HASNT BEEN PAIRED WITH ANY DOGS FOR MONTHS AND DID NOT NOTIFY US. So not only have they been lying to us about her being an angel , they've been accepting payments from us for a service she isn't even enjoying. A couple of weeks ago (FEB82024) we took her to stay the night there and she was acting so freaking weird . We pick her up the next day and they didn't even feed her breakfast and it was 1pm??? I brushed it off and was like maybe they were busy.. we take her again a few days ago and she was holding on to me like I was taking her to the vet.. I drop her off then I walk back inside and ask the lady " is she okay? Everything is fine right?" She smiles and says yes we're all good here... something just didn't feel right. So then we find out she hasn't played with any dog for MONTHS.. like why not communicate with us and let us know she's too hyper so we just change the service or better yet just not bring her??? I call and ask the manager who's only been there for 3 months and tell her all of this and she was very kind and understanding . I ask her " do you typically notify customers if you can't pair the dog with a playmate?" She says yes or they suggest another service... so wtf??? Why wasn't I notified?? I called this morning to see if I could talk to the owner and they have not contacted me to clear this up. Soo anyone wanting to bring your dog here PLEASE. Try somewhere else . They have a high turnover rate and on theyre not honest with what's going on with your pet. I've recommended countless people here and I'm so sad I won't have somewhere for her to hang with other dogs. As much as this isn't about the money I feel scammed and deserve our money back for all these play yards since JULY, not feeding my girl on February9th, times she didn't get baths and WE KNEW she didn't but she paid anyways because we loved you guys.. YES- I'm getting her more training so she can go to a new daycare because I know she's a bit much.. I'm her mom I know my dog and what she needs to be trained for. AND YES- I know not everyone can deal with a hyper dog.. but we've spent over $2000 here maybe even more . The least we deserve is honesty so we're not a burden and my dog isn't the one in the corner with no one to play with. I would have kept her at home but obviously money is more important to you guys at LAK. Owner if you see this I'm so disappointed I don't even want a call back now. Good luck to you guys and I hope things change.
