A Cautionary Experience - Please Visit Before You Commit…read more ["Dog recovering after eating toxic material at boarding facility" In the news, January 2025. See image in post for link] I rarely leave critical reviews, but as a devoted pet parent, I feel a responsibility to share my experience at Puppy Manor in hopes it helps others make an informed decision. While I was initially drawn in by the promise of open land and splash pads, what I observed in reality was quite different. Yes, there is a splash pad--but I also saw multiple dogs standing on a large, dry asphalt area as the afternoon heat began rising. I expressed concern and was reassured the staff wets the ground as it gets hotter. Still, it was concerning, especially in Florida's climate. There's also a significant grassy area where dogs play, which sounds ideal--until you're pulling burrs, burdock seeds, and foxtails out of your dog's fur every day. While I want my dog to have fun like anyone else's, I also believe daycare should be both safe and reasonably maintained. There was no sign that the dogs' time in muddy, debris-filled fields was limited, nor any clear effort to improve the space. Despite being told the facility was "under renovation," I saw little evidence of actual improvements. The outdoor drop-off and pickup has a very industrial and dated look to it. On one visit, I waited with another dog owner for nearly five minutes or longer--no one was at the front, and no one responded to us. We knocked on doors with no luck. Only after the other owner called the facility's phone number did a staff member (Vince) appear and tell us she (he) had been making dinner. Meanwhile, we knew the dogs were crated and ready to go--there is simply no excuse for no one being available to release pets to their owners. That experience alone left a lasting impression. The staff dynamic is inconsistent. Brianna, while sweet, often seemed distracted and disconnected in conversation. Vince, on the other hand, was kind, helpful, and clearly loves the animals in her care. I truly appreciated the adorable photos she sent me--it made me feel, at least for a moment, that my pup was happy and being looked after. The pictures were so cute. But even with those thoughtful touches, my gut just didn't feel right the longer I continued bringing my dog there. I never felt fully at ease leaving my dog here, and to me, that says everything. It reminded me of the uneasy feeling you get when leaving your child somewhere you're not fully confident in. I've taken my dog to several daycares across Tampa Bay and beyond--this one gave me the least peace of mind. Before enrolling, I strongly recommend stopping by unannounced, outside of the 1:00-3:00 PM "nap time." Ask yourself: are the dogs lounging calmly in the advertised "acres of land" with attentive staff, or is a single person sitting in a chair watching over ten or more dogs? My observations leaned heavily toward the latter. Also, be sure to ask detailed questions about pricing. While Puppy Manor does not offer grooming services, they charge $30 for a very basic bath--no brushing or extras. Even with that option, I still found myself bathing my dog almost every day because of how dirty she came home. Their prices are not significantly lower than other, far better-kept facilities. I even reinjured my back twice just trying to wash and rinse my medium-haired dog after daycare. She sleeps in bed with me, and I simply couldn't bring her in the house in the condition she was in after pickup. I truly admire pet parents who don't mind muddy paws on their carpets or furniture--but for me, home is a place of comfort and cleanliness. While I absolutely know she's a dog, I still expect her to come home somewhat clean. Lastly, I encourage potential clients to view online reviews and photos with a healthy dose of skepticism. My direct experience didn't align with what I saw online, and it made me question whether the glowing reviews were from verified pet owners. Puppy Manor looks nothing like the curated images on Google. If you love your pet as much as I do mine, I sincerely recommend exploring other options. Cost matters--but so does cleanliness, communication, and the peace of knowing your dog is truly cared for.

Beware of having your dog here for day care or boarding. I trusted the team to care for my dog but…read moreshe was placed in a kennel with FRP that has a toxic material in it that is potentially deadly if ingested. The boards were hung inside the kennel where my dog or any dog could chew it. My dog unfortunately did chew the last night of her stay and became more and more lethargic during the day after ingesting this material in the night. The manager on duty the morning she sustained her injuries assured me she would call me if her condition changed or worsened. She did not call me and had said she was off at 1 pm. I called just after 1 pm and she informed me that our beautiful and sweet girl was lethargic, tongue swollen and hanging out of her mouth and that she was unable to get her tongue in her mouth, it was so swollen. She did not call me or alert me in anyway that her condition deteriorated and so severely. I asked her, Jessie, to take her immediately to the Gandy Pet Hospital and she did not. She told me it probably was nothing serious and not to worry about it. I called, texted and literally begged her to take her to Gandy Pet hospital a couple blocks from Puppy Manor. She did not- she never did- told me she was off and to contact the other manager. It was over four hours later that Heather took Elsa, our husky, to Gandy Pet Hospital and then was almost immediately transferred to VEG on Dale Mabry. I was flying back to Tampa and was told my girl may or may not make it before I arrived back on my flight. Fortunately, she did survive and she was almost dead when I arrived. I was told by the doctors she had severe ulcers in her mouth and she was likely not going to survive. They worked so well with here, life saving measures and transferred her to Fetch Intensive care hospital in Brandon. The doctors here kept saying this was not from chewing plastic- they she had some kind of chemical poisoning or electrocution from her injuries and state. I kept asking questions of the regional manager and then learned about the styrene toxic and poisonous chemical in her Kennel which is what she chewed. The Veterinarian was able to treat her and she had a very long, lengthy and costly recovery of over $16,000. I have all the itemized receipts I can post here. The owner paid $4000 and waved her $1800 boarding fee- leaving me with the balance - just over $10,000 and a very sick girl which was not guaranteed to survive. She did survive and it was a very long healing process with nine medications per day for about a week, feeding her through a feeding tube that was placed in her neck, through her esophagus and into her stomach. The FRP boards with styrene in them are no longer hanging in the kennels and I would not trust this location to care for your dog. The agreement they claim I signed, even though there is no signature on it- maximum to pay for a dog $500 or the cost of a dog. Very disturbing and I am blessed to still have my precious girl, Elsa.

I like for my pup for get exercise, he's has a lot of energy. I went on vacation for 5 days and booked my dog and my brothers dog for overnight boarding. I begin booking online and a representative reached out to obtain my dogs records etc. Customer service was really nice! I was able to bring my dog's blanket and toy (I'm assuming he got to have it), not sure lol. There was an option for me to bring my own food, but I opted that he eats what they had. I requested pictures a few times via email and the quickly sent them over so that was nice, but video footage would have been really nice because I was missing my pup! My dog came back dirty lol, but I guess that's to be expected - so I had to bathe him as SOON as we got home. He had what looked to be poop or mud on his nails. All in all, I guess I would recommend this place.

It girl Penny is over ten now and had been developing sever separation anxiety. As I travel for business we used a boarder down town who neglected Penny, slowing her to go unsupervised and injure herself trying to get out of her kennel. Paws took the time to understand Penny's situation and provided the kind of care and supervision and really needs. With an extra dose of love. We got frequent updates, Penny got her medication and was so happy. It's hard to express the value and relief we feel for what Paws is able to do for us. To know that Penny has someone that loves her like we do and had the experience and qualifications to give her the best care let's me travel for business work confidence and come home to a happy pup.

Today he was very disappointed, and he hide himself very fast when he entered the door. I really can't think of how he knocked out such a smooth wound in the cage, unless someone took his neck and threw him into the cage and hit the ground . Yesterday I also sent him to dogtopia, but he was very happy. I don't know what happened today.
