    Happy puppy face after boarding
    Farrah J.

    **They're open for daycare and boarding during this coronavirus madness!** I have loved Metro Dog for a long time, but now I loooooove Metro Dog. Let me tell you how they came through for me in a pinch and then I'll tell you why this is the only place I'll ever take my dog for boarding. I was two hours away from my place in downtown Seattle on May 30th when the looting started. Immediately, I got in my car and headed north. While listening to the radio, I learned that I5 north headed into Seattle was being shut down and that a 5pm curfew has been mandated. There was no way I was going to get to my pup (who was at Metro Dog for just the day) in time. I called Metro Dog and asked if I could leave my pup, Bailey, overnight instead. Immediately, the gentleman who answered the phone pulled up her file and confirmed how much food she gets and that he'd make sure to put a scoop of pumpkin on it, just like she likes. It was such a relief and I am beyond grateful. I generally hate being away from my dog, but it's so much easier to go on vacation now that I have Metro Dog in my life. Everyone who works there is so kind to the dogs and my pup always comes home happy and worn out. I've boarded her elsewhere before and have never felt comfortable leaving her until now. She gets plenty of attention and as much (or as little) interaction with other dogs as she likes. The staff there knows she's way more into people than dogs and they're super understanding when she puts herself in "time out" in the back away from the other dogs. If you're considering boarding or doing daycare at Metro Dog, don't hesitate. Your pooch will be safe and well cared for.

    One tired pup after a full day at Metro Dog
    Arielle N.

    Our dog Cobe is the chillest, most mellow dog ever, and I honest to god believe that it is in large part due to the amazing care of Metro Dog to see to it that he gets to be a DOG!! He LOVES every second he spends at daycare. There's almost nowhere else that he gets SO excited to leave our car for, but when we get to MetroDog in the mornings, he assertively leads us up the stairs, and we can tell that he loves all of the staff. Not to mention, they clearly have bonded with him, too. I love that he gets to rough house a bit and then when he comes home, he is exhausted and sleeps happily for another day or so. My husband and I live in Lynnwood and yet we still regularly bring Cobe here on days when we're not working from home so that he can enjoy a full day of dog friends.

    injury from stay

    Unbiased review from a long-time customer. I have two dogs. The last 3 stays have been pretty bad. One of them my chihuahua came home with a cold that lasted 10 days and red eyes, and my GSD was so alert and afraid of sleeping that she spent two days sleeping sitting up. I thought, okay, perhaps the GSD was just being over-alert and the chihuahua unexpectedly developed a cold, which was always possible. During the next long stay (10 days) my GSD came home SO aggressive I couldn't believe it. We raised her to be super friendly b/c she looks menacing so we brought her up (since birth) to be a sweet dog, and she was, until that stay. Now she barks to dogs on the street, something she had never done before. But this last stay topped it all, the GSD came home bleeding. Mind you, Metro Dog never called to tell us she had an injury. My teenage daughter picked them up and was sobbing all the way home. The GSD had a swollen eye, a cut SUPER near the eye she could have been blinded, and ofc, again, extremely vigilant of everything. She peed herself when she saw my husband so happy she was to come home. Also, when I dropped her off last time I could tell the GSD did not want to go inside their building. This super young and unhelpful employee pulled her in with zero friendliness, so I went inside for the first time in a long time the place reeked of urine and I could only see one person taking care of what looked like a lot of dogs. I won't be back and I am available should you have Qs. If you love your dog like family, don't take them to this place. It used to be amazing with caring people, but not anymore.

    My baby with puncture wounds on his neck! Thanks, Metro!

    We took our 2 lovely pups for the requisite meet & greet at Metro. They requested a fecal sample which we paid our vet for and provided to Metro. Of course, our kids were in perfect health! When I arrived, there were A LOT of dogs -- I counted close to 30 dogs -- as compared to one moderately attentive human. Over-crowded and under-staffed I immediately thought. Thus, my first question was, "how many humans to dogs ratio" can we expect on any give day? Min. 3 I was told. So, where were the other two? Despite early trepidations, Metro was close to our home, and I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I dropped both my dogs -- 10lbs and 20lbs respectively -- off on my way to work at 8:30am. At 9:20am, I received a frantic call from MetroDog. "Your dog is bleeding, profusely (their words). Come get your dogs!" Suffice to say, I freaked out! Think, cold sweat, panic, terror -- these ARE my children! My 10lb dog was attacked by another dog and had his neck punctured! I'm including photos - white Poodle mix with puncture wounds and blood :( I raced from work, VERY UPSET, to Metro. When I arrived, someone from Metro was holding my dog. He was a bloody mess. I grabbed him, wrapped him up in a yoga towel I had in the trunk as Metro just handed him to me. I raced to our Vet -- over 30 minutes away. I called the vet up ahead, thankfully. I was told to keep firm pressure on the wounds until I arrived. Yeah, try that while driving! Our little man needed multiple shots and stitches. Totally traumatized -- both of us. So, I reached out to MetroDog and requested, that since, in their fabulous care, my dog was nearly killed, I'd lost day of work (yes, 5+ hours to deal with this), and a near $600 vet bill, that Metro pay for this, or, at the very least, DO THE RIGHT THING and help us pay for it. Their answer? NO! - you signed a waiver. Fine, we signed a waiver. End of day, DO THE RIGHT THING. They did NOT! Not by a long, long mile. These are the people you want to entrust your children with? "Come get your dogs" -- that was the extent of their assistance. Our kids are now in the hands of people who... care. Leave them at Metro and you too may get that horrible phone call!

    They have a nice system for a trial day which is important because I know that they will not select any dogs that would be unsafe to others.

I had to immediately take him to the bath and let me tell you the water was disgusting. This place charges very high boarding fees, charges extra $15 a night for blocks of holiday days, charges an additional $65 if you pick the dog up after lunch time. You may end up paying $180 to board your dog for 1 night so beware. This price does not include walks, the dogs all pee inside in the play pen. For the outrageous fees, you would expect more. It's so unsanitary. I will never again book this place for my puppy. I don't see how they stay in business. The grooming is abosultely terrible. It's shocking, and for the price you pay you would expect it to look semi professional. Each time the dog was shaved down despite asking for poodle cut. I am done with this place, I only went back for convenience but never again. They need some new management, re-evaluate their fee structure or actually hire some people. Greedy owners will do theirselves in.

With that said, I knew I needed to find a new place to get his monthly nail trim as we had moved away from our previous location. Creating an online profile and scheduling an appointment was a breeze (no more phone call attempts!) It was clear as day to see when there was availability, and yes, I was even able to schedule same-day! The place was welcoming and staff were friendly. They did an excellent job on my dog's nails (he has long quicks and usually most groomers don't get short enough out of nervousness cutting the dog). We were in and out in a jiffy! Happy to have found a place nearby with fair pricing and great staff that make my dog feel comfortable. We will be back!

Einat, the owner, is very responsive and clearly cares about both her customers and her employees--and it shows in the quality of their service. Charlie typically had the same walkers at the same time each week. They were all professional, caring, attentive, and TRUE dog lovers! I loved Strut the Pup's daily walk reports and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of while I was at work. On a few occasions when I was working from home, I watched as his regular walker arrived--Charlie would be waiting at the window and greeted them with full-body wags every time. When Charlie's hips started bothering him as he got older, the team helped me adjust his walks so he could continue enjoying his outdoor adventures. Sadly, Charlie has since passed, but I've saved many of the walk-report photos his walkers took (like this one), and they remain some of my favorite pictures of him. Thank you, Einat and team, for taking such wonderful care of Charlie.

So approx. 15 mins instruction and training per dog. Class is 1.5 hrs. My roommate paid for the series of classes.. and unplanned she ended up in the hospital Emergency Room and had to have emergency orthopedic surgery. She texted and left a VM that she wouldn't be attending the classes the night before class started and asked to Be refunded the $275. They told her said NO to a refund.Too bad if you have an emergency. Our class isn't full and we couldn't fill the spot. But we will let you pay another $137.50 to sign up for another series in the future. So they kept the initial $275. And my roomie paid another 137.50 to be able to take said classes once she's all healed up and can walk again. They gave her a credit of 137.50 if she signed up to take the classes again. If she didn't there is no refund!! So that is 412.50 for 5 classes at approx 15min of ins time each week. So that ends up being a hour and 1/2 of instruction for 412.50. Holy Crap!! A huge rip off and absolutely crap business management for Dogs day out. Ok and my roomie has worked in the dog business in W Seattle for over 30 yrs and has referred dozens of dogs to this establishment over this years. She is going to take the classes that she paid 412.50 for so she isn't out the full amount she paid. But what a huge crock of doo doo. A poor business rule and my god she had to have emergency surgery. I know for a fact she will never refer another client to them or ever return to Dogs Day out for any classes herself. If I were her I'd also let my dog clients who she's referred to this biz about this if it comes up in convo. About this practise. Whatever happened to professional courtesy between biz owners in the same dog world. Or compassion when they end up having emergency surgery. I for one am really floored by this experience my roomie is going through!!!
