The walkers are friendly and do a good job, but the owner/manager, Corinne Moore, is very…read moreunprofessional and passive-aggressive. I had to cancel a few walks due to my dog having diarrhea, and without any warning at all, Corinne said that paws and claws cannot provide services to me anymore. This is a horrific double standard. They told me on multiple nights that they cancelled services last minute due to walkers being sick, inclement weather, or transportation issues, but when I had to cancel last minute due to my dog's health condition, they stop their services to me altogether without any advanced notice. This is completely unacceptable and a total double standard. I want nothing to do with Corinne again, and will never speak to her again. I just feel terrible about this whole situation because the walkers are so nice and friendly, but can't be managed by someone who doesn't even understand the basic principles of friendliness and courtesy. I have spoken about this incidence with multiple friends of mine in Madison, who were shocked and angry and how unfairly I was treated.

I expected my 7 month old pup to avoid the muddy area at the dog park. (What was I thinking?)…read more I'd never used a self-serve dog wash, and they said to just come in--and laughed at how muddy she really was.

Instead, an employee was sitting at a small table in the lobby .I waited about 3-5 minutes, but still, no one came to greet me, standing there I noticed to lobby was a little dirty and smelly. Decided to leave and come back another time . As I turned around, I noticed something concerning (see attached photo). I commented, "Wow, that's not safe," and the employee casually responded, "Yeah, that's been like that for a couple of months now. I hope they fix it soon." That was all I needed to decide not to come back. What really sealed it for me was learning that they board dogs overnight--with that same door left unlocked. That's a major safety concern.

Our dog was attending Ruffin it for about a month, 3x a week. He passed his trial days and it…read moreseemed like everything was going well at the start. The last few times we took him to be dropped off he would stop in the doorway and not want to go inside, note that he has always LOVED daycare at his previous daycares. In the past he would try to sprint into the door to get inside, definitely not be hesitant. I can't say if something changed in how he was being treated, but it was a bad sign, and made us hesitant to consider taking him to Ruffin it since we couldn't be sure what was happening during the day off camera. We were told that Thursdays were ideally for tiny dogs and dogs that didn't want to play, which we could see on the cameras wasn't accurate. There were plenty of dogs much larger than our dog in the small dog room, and lots of dogs playing even when our dog was sleeping on the bench. But we were told that our dog was too high energy to come on Thursdays, so we agreed to try him out in one of the bigger dog rooms only on Thursdays. He did a trial day and it sounded like it went well. When we took him the next Monday they sent him to the big dog room again which was a surprise to us since we had thought he was only doing Thursdays in the big dog room, but we were trusting their judgement of where he was the best fit. When we went to pick him up, we were told that he has been in an isolation room since 9 am and had failed his trial days and thus wasn't allowed back. Since he had passed his trial days in the small dog room, our understanding was that he was just going through trial days in the big dog room to see how he interacted with bigger dogs for Thursday play. There was no communication from the staff that if he didn't play well with the big dogs he couldn't come back any day of the week, or that there had been any issues reported at all in the small dog room. The staff didn't call us to let us know that he had been put in isolation at 9 am, so he had to sit in the room for 8 hours until we came to get him. They claimed an email was sent which was never received, but even if there was, a phone call should be mandatory when locking a dog up so the parents are aware. All our communication with Ruffin it had been done via phone (texts and calls) up until this point, so only sending an email makes no sense. It felt as if they were trying to hide the fact that they locked him up. If we had known we would've left work to come pick him up sooner. Instead he had to sit in the room all day, and while they told us he was given bathroom breaks it didn't seem as if that was true given how much he peed as soon as he got out (he normally pees every 2 hours so there's very little urine each potty break. He peed for a solid 2 minutes straight after this day as soon as he got outside). It's totally fine if a dog isn't a good fit for a daycare, and we would have accepted that answer if it had been conveyed to us, especially considering our own hesitations. But instead, there was no communication leading up to this incident that there were any issues with our dog at all besides his high energy on Thursdays, and there was no communication day of to let us know that anything had happened. Instead our dog sat in a room by himself for 8 hours and we were charged a for full day of daycare that did not happen.
