    My dog China after getting staples.
    Alexandria B.

    I use to take my dog China here. She is 8 years old and has been going to daycare her whole life without incident. A few weeks ago that changed. She was attacked while in their care. She was given back to me swollen on one side of her body with a puncture wound. Once the vet shaved her side they could see the other dogs whole mouth print on her body. Once she got home she started limping. She had blood all over my car and my bed when she got home. I ignored Dogtown's advice. I rushed her to the emergency vet where she needed staples and pain medication!! There has been no follow up from dogtown they haven't even called to see how China is doing even if she was "aggressively playing" like they tried to suggest to me. I will make sure I will put this post on EVERYTHING associated with this company so other petparents know what they are getting into.

    Here is this caregiver loving on my Luke. This is what he does at home - jumps up (very gently) for belly scratches.

    This place has been a God send for us. My dog Luke is a rescue, & has had a slow go of it with socialization, both with other dogs & with people. They have web cams where you can check on the pups. I left on a business trip today & connected to check on Luke around 230 pm. I just happened to catch the caregiver (they do their best to always have a person with the dogs 24/7) loving on Luke & him seeking attention from her. This absolutely warmed my heart to see her loving on him & him eating up the attention. Thank you for taking such loving care of my boy!! It costs a bit more to board here but the dogs are so well cared for & kennel free. Worth every penny.

    Instead of turning her away, she spent some time with Donna, their behavior specialist, and now she's back in gen-pop without issue.

    We have been taking our dog Benedict to the Pet Spot since he was a puppy, so going on five years…read morenow! We use Pet Spot for daycare, grooming (thank you so much Cat for being the best!!! My sister still drives down from Dayton after moving to get her dogs groomed by Cat), and boarding every now and then. The "floating groom" option is one of our favorites as our dog can run & play in daycare while also getting a full groom, so he's both tired & clean when he comes home. They also host fun events throughout the year where you can get a themed picture of your dog, like Halloween or St. Patrick's day. The staff is always very friendly, accommodating, and some even greet Benedict by name when we walk in the lobby. Seeing 1-star reviews here really surprises me as I know myself and many other repeat customers have had zero issues with the Pet Spot and I would feel confident recommending their services to any dog owner. I would also like to suggest to anyone reading these low reviews to take some highly sensitive pet owner's opinions with a grain of salt. This is an all around GREAT dog care facility with extremely hard-to-beat prices for the area. Seriously people - be realistic. Dogs will smell a little when they get home. The lobby might smell if someone had an accident. It's truly insane to think your dog won't smell a little bit when they come home from boarding/daycare surrounded by other dogs running and playing all day. Expect to bathe them yourselves like a normal person or pay for an exit bath (a service they offer). If you want your pup to never touch dirt or pee then you should keep them at home or shell out the cash for Rover. Just my two cents!

    We had a very poor experience with Pet Spot. We recently brought our dog in for a daycare…read moreevaluation. The lobby smelled strongly in the morning when dropping her off, and smelled even worse in the afternoon when we picked her up. When they brought my dog back, she was whining, straining at the leash, and trying to make a beeline for the exit to get out of there asap - this is really strange behavior; my friendly extroverted pup usually wants to personally say goodbye with a wagging tail to everyone when we take her places. I asked the woman at the front desk how things had gone - she shrugged and just said, "looks like she passed." Then she said "didn't you get the email report?" I was confused and said no, I didn't have an email and didn't know what she was talking about. Also I'd literally just picked up my dog, so idk how they could have gotten a report out to me . "You'll get an email," she said confidently and dismissively. I have not received one still. We asked if it was possible to see the facility, since it was our first visit, and she instead showed us cameras from the lobby that "aren't live because the system's broken". So just static blurry photos of empty indoor play yards. We asked about how and where the dogs were able to go out to use the bathroom and she said THEY ALL JUST GO WHEREVER ON THE FLOOR and "they do their best to clean it up". At this point we left. We had to stop on the way home because she was so distressed - my housebroken dog had apparently been holding her bladder and her poop all day. She drank her entire bowl of water the second she got home, so I don't think she was given access to any while at daycare for several hours. She was limping and we have no idea why, because Pet Spot couldn't give us any information about her day. We had to give her a bath that evening because she smelled terrible. On top of all this, she's now developed a rash on her paws and belly as well as an eye infection which have required vet attention. Unsurprising since she was apparently laying around in urine and feces all day. Honestly I couldn't believe how bad of an experience we had - on a first day! - and I feel bad for my poor pup that I ever dropped her off here. Do not use this place.

    WARM FUZZIES GONE We have been boarding our dogs with Patty…read moreand Jenny since they opened in 1995. It was a wonderful experience, truly "almost home!" On several occasions when they would not eat, Patty would even call to ask permission to switch their food brand to spark their appetite or to add green beans. Then, when Patty got sick, they hired from outside. After Patty's passing, things seemed to change. My "warm fuzzies" disappeared. Things were "adequate". During our last visit, our dogs were to share an enclosure, as they have some separation anxiety when left. Much to my surprise, when we returned I was informed they were separated for their entire stay. I was told they had to be separated because of fighting. These dogs live together! I expressed my displeasure without raising my voice or using profanity, and was never given an explanation of why I was not called and that was "unacceptable". I was mad! I was then told if I didn't like they way they chose to handle the situation, "not to come back". We now have pet care in our home and know exactly who is caring for our dogs. I suggest you do the same!

Ever since that first day she runs in and licks the faces of the friendly people working there. I cannot speak highly enough about this place. The price is right and they can always seem to fit us in, sometimes even last minute. I definitely recommend using this kennel for your boarding needs.
