BAD! HORRIFIC! TERRIFYING! I boarded two of my dogs at Lailia's Pet Bed and Breakfast on Saturday, 7/18-7/25. On 7/18 a woman and her two daughters, a 12 yr and 18 yr greeted us. I handed her all of my dogs paperwork, even though she never asked for it (shot records, vets name, a local friends phone number) along with each pet's food and treats bagged and labeled daily with their names and instructions on each Ziploc bag. I was told that I had WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS by preparing for their week at Lailia's. I then said, "I love my dogs". I wanted my dogs to have a good week and I was trying to make it easier for the staff at Lailia's. We asked if we could see where the dogs would live for the week and the woman said that the dogs in the back had had a BAD night and it wasn't a good idea. She never said we couldn't go, just that it would be BAD. A man was also dropping off his dog at the same time and he did go back. He came back to the front and said "whew" and shook his head, which in hindsight, spoke volumes. I confirmed how many times the dogs are let out during the day and I was told that they were to be let out 5 times per day into an area where they could run and use the bathroom. I was also assured that the door from their cage to the outside would be opened during the day for a few minutes at a time to let them go out into the small area that was separated by a doggie door. We called two times during the week and we were told that our dogs were fine. They even said that they brought our dogs up to the front office so they could get acquainted with the staff. We later found out that when they bring the dogs up front, it means that they are kept in carriers behind the desk. On Saturday, July 25, we picked up our dogs, only to find them in such horrible condition. They looked frightened and unhealthy. Our younger dog, a 4 year old/60 lb. Border Collie mix had his tail between his legs. He looked scared and he was wet on his feet and his backside and had a cut on his nose. Our older dog, a terrier mix who is 12 yrs. old and 20lbs, did not come out right away. A different woman behind the desk said that they were getting her. After a few minutes, the 12 year old girl from the week prior came out from the back and said that my dog had escaped her collar. When she brought my dog up to the front, my dog looked frightened and wet. She's always been an excitable dog, but when I called her she just stood there terrified, tail between her legs, while the girl attempted to get her collar back around her neck. My daughters took the dogs immediately outside. The dogs urinated for almost 45sec. each. I stayed inside and asked why the dogs were wet and the woman stated "because we wanted to clean them up a little bit". I said I didn't ask for the dogs to be bathed and she said they didn't bathe them. I asked for the food, bedding and toys. Interesting, the dogs had more food and treats remaining than they should have had. The bedding was torn and soaking wet along with the toys. We had to throw the bed away. Our dogs smelled atrocious, and once home we understood why. They were both covered in feces. Our younger dog had a fist size matted feces on his side, and our terrier had diarrhea all over her behind. They even had feces in between their nails. This explains why they were both wet at pickup...an attempt to quickly "clean them up". We also discovered the true extent of their conditions and rushed them to their vet within one hour of picking them up at Lailia's. They both had chronic diarrhea and one had a UTI. The one with the UTI couldn't take a step without whining, and was in observable pain for at least 72 hrs. I called Lailia's when we returned from the vet and had to leave a message. It took 48hrs after my initial call before someone spoke with me. I have since talked with two people at Lailia's, including the owner Pat, and not one apologized for what happened. Both were calloused and apathetic towards my dogs' suffering. The manager even had the nerve to say that all I was after was the money being returned. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I want this to have never happened to my dogs. They didn't deserve to be treated like this. We even paid for a premium room for them!!! They never recognized nor cared about my dogs' illnesses that developed while boarded. My dogs are not the same dogs I dropped off. They are nervous and they were sick. I don't want anything from this but CHANGE! This maltreatment must stop. Look on YELP. I'm not the only with a complaint. We are unable to rate the business with less than one star. Too bad, Lailia's would have received -0- from me!!!!! read more
