My boyfriend and I boarded our 9 month old lab mix dog Diablo for the first time January 23rd…read morethrough January 27th. We brought his treats and PRE PORTIONED dog food and left notes on the bags of what they needed to do (per what the website suggested) we also brought him a blanket a toy and his bed. We dropped him off 1 hour earlier than when they were open because my lack of research on their open times on the weekend but the young lady at the front desk greeted us and took Diablo no problem (thank you so much for that and I'm sorry I was that person!). Saturday Diablo went right into the play room where several dogs were eager to greet him and he went to play right away ( we knew he would have no problem and immediately he didn't even know we were there anymore nor did he care haha), the ladies took his stuff and off we went! We picked Diablo up Friday January 27th right when they opened at 7am because we missed our pooch so much! Kelly was at the front desk this time and said our 50lb diablo was her lap dog pretty much every morning (he is such a lover!), That right there tells me they actually spend time with the dogs and give them a little one on one time , what a spoiled dog. She went over some more specials they were going to be running Etc. they also per my request gave him a departure bath the day before and he smelled so good when we got him! He's only had one previous bath from a professional groomer and id say I'm happier with this wash because he doesn't seem to have dandruff and his tooshy isn't itchy like the last place we went to and I got very concerned. There were no sores on him or areas of concern per Melissa's review, the bags we provided with food came back empty which states to me he was fed just right. The only reason I give it 4 out of 5 stars is because he came home with a bit of diarrhea which could be a combination of things like: new environment nervousness or maybe they fed him other treats than what we gave to them to treat him etc. I didn't specify about the treats either and I'm not blaming anyone. Next time we board our dog I know to be more specific with food or treats that's also what they want! For you to be specific on what your dog needs and what they can do to keep him in the routine you have for him or her. All in all I would bring my dog back here in a heart beat! Everyone was very nice and informative and answered all my nervous first babysitter mother questions without hesitation. Thanks kelly and your wonderful staff!

We have used Fetchers for several years and our pets typically come home with minor issues - eye…read moreinfection, ear infection, kennel cough (once), but our recent visit was SIGNIFICANTLY different. After a 5 day boarding stay, our large dog came home with a partially ripped out toenail, red and inflamed toes on another foot, an eye infection, an ear infection, and punctures and deep tissue bruising on his neck from an e-collar. After a very expensive visit to the vet, we learned that he also has a staph infection on his feet and neck. While I understand that minor injuries can and do happen when dogs play, these are outside of the realm of what I would consider acceptable. Shannon, the manager, was responsive and accountable, which is why I am giving a two star review as opposed to one star. Her communication was professional and she followed up daily to check on our dog. Jack, the owner, was accusatory and went so far as to suggest that we caused the injuries to our own dog. He spent 40 minutes telling me that they have excellent quality control and that their staff finds injuries and doesn't cause them. At one point I had to get my husband on the phone to attest to the fact that he removed our dog's e-collar the day of pickup, which is absolutely ridiculous. When Jack asked me how I knew that the injuries happened at his facility, I responded that our dog arrived without injuries and was picked up with injuries. I am not sure that it can get more clear than that. I am hugely disappointed in Jack's refusal to take responsibility or handle my concerns with even the smallest amount of compassion. He swiftly and effectively removed any consideration I had of continuing our boarding relationship with Fetchers. This whole ordeal has cost us nearly $1,500 and begrudgingly Fetchers has agreed to pay $554 of one of the vet bills, as well as a credit on account for a future visit. Jack was condescending, insensitive, and refused to take any sort of accountability for my dog's injuries. If you choose to use this facility, beware.

Smart K9 is the best place for your furry friend. My dog Koda made the move from Texas to North…read moreDakota, he took it rough. He was scared and unsure of everything. He went from a very quiet home to now living with many (loud) humans and it was a hard transition. At the time we had also done many vet visits because we thought he had terrible allergies, he was biting his tail raw and licking his paws until they were infected. As his owner I knew I owed it to him to find a training center that he could grow and become confident in me as his owner and in himself. I did a lot of research and during the consultation meeting I asked a lot of questions because my dog is my family. After the first visit Emily said that she felt he was highly anxious and asked if we'd considered any anxiety medication to help him out. Turns out it wasn't allergies but anxiety! On top of that Koda did the four week board and train program making unbelievable progress. He's now able to ride in cars, go to the vet, and is welcoming to new people coming into our home. I could probably type all day about how amazing every staff member is at Smart K9 and how they are the best in town, but if you aren't convinced by now- go sign up for a consultation and see for yourself! I promise you will not regret it.

I enrolled my dog in day training at Smart K9. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing and…read moreextremely concerning. My dog got kennel cough in less than two weeks of being at this facility, I am fairly sure it was from there because he does not go anywhere expect my house and back yard because he is reactive and thats why we were starting training. The vet said he should not be around other dogs for 3-4 week and the owner encouraged me to bring him back while he would still would be contagious! I doubt they told the other owners that are currently enrolled that there dogs were exposed to kennel cough! Because of thier very concerning reaction to our dog getting sick and how they handled it I don't want to take him back there and they are unwilling to give any money back for services that were not preformed and are unwilling to talk! please read that contract very carefully if for any reason your dog got killed or lost or anything nothing is on them and you would still owe them thousands of dollars.

Shit business the owners a bitch. I thought this boarding place that is now under a different name…read morepurple paw was going to be a great place to place my 2 cats while I was in between houses. I talked to the owner char and made a deal with her to work for her to cover the costs of my boarding of my 2 cats which I had no problems with I worked there as much as my schedule allowed I told them from the start that I was able to work 2 days a week they took advantage of that really quickly knowing I work 40hrs at Amazon anyways she backed out on the deal because I got sick with pneumonia told her I couldn't work for a week and now has my cats hostage because I couldn't pay over $400 for 2 weeks of boarding when I haven't worked(been off work since the 1st I told them the week before Easter I wasn't coming in then she told me day before Easter that I had to pay the over $400 this last Monday 4/18) and she knows that. So she is surrendering my cats to a place I have no idea where she won't tell me out of spite thinking I faked my sickness after providing proof(doc note) that I was in fact sick. The manager there Tracy she doesn't give a fuck about her job she half asses it she's also basically homeless so she lives there but she won't really do anything if the facility isn't technically open so if it's not between 8-12 or 5-8 she won't do anything for your animal even though she's there. (And yes she does make fun of you guys saying your snobby for asking her to do things when the facility isn't open like let your dog out or feed it at a certain time) the time they get let out when I was working there was maybe 5 min I actually played with the pups she doesn't she lets them out then locks them back up in the "suites" they are just bigger kennels. Also the owner doesn't believe in Covid or vaccines for people or animals I'm pretty sure that's where I caught my pneumonia and your animals will more than likely get sick being there I mean most dogs are up to date on shots but there's always one that slips through the cracks. Cats wise if you have a cat don't expect it to see any love basically they go in spend maybe 20 min in the room for the day just enough time to clean the litter of all the cats in there make sure there is a scoop of food and some water then gone till the next day. When I was there I let the cats out that were social while I was cleaning the cat room(I spent a good hr and a half in there so the cats would get love). And for the 15/a day for the cat condos they are cheaply put together cat enclosures that I was told were put together wrong and are really unstable which I can say they are unstable I have moved them they are flimsy. Honestly I would choose anywhere else to put my animal this place isn't worth it I know this is me being petty but you can see how the owner was talking to me I tried to go back and get more but she did something to the convo where I couldn't get anymore of it. P.s. that message says I only have $3 in my bank account.
