I am so bummed to say that I am no longer going to be going to Pet Palace. The last two times I have gone have been such a disappointing. If you read my original review, you will see I used to rave about this place but I'll just explain my last experience so you get an idea of why my view has changed.
Last month I took my Dogs to stay here for a long weekend. My one dog has been there for two years now and this was the first time that I took our new dog. I filled out all the paperwork, had the vet fax over the papers, and we were all set.
This past week over Labor Day I picked up my dogs again. This time, they were only allowing pick up on Labor Day from 5-7 which made for a lot of angry customers. I kept my cool because it wasn't the employees fault for these limited times. However, when I got in there to get my dogs, they said my one dog isn't in their system at all and I have to refill out all the paper. This wouldn't be a big deal but that paperwork tells you if my dog can't eat certain food or has to take medicine. My dog doesn't but if this was my previous dog who had loads of health problems, this would be a huge deal and that's why I got so angry. I also was upset that they didn't contact me earlier about this and I could've resent over the information because if my dog had to have special attention or mediciation, they should've known that. And if they looked up in the system that our dog who has gone there for two years has a vet down the street, they could've called and had the vet sent over information my other dog to make sure all was okay.
After I refilled out the papers, they told me I had an outstanding balance on my account from our last month's stay....how?! I explained to the woman at the desk we pay what we are told is due, and she said well we owe another something amount of dollars. As we were talking about this, I told her that visit was when my two dogs were here too, when I originally filled out all this paperwork I am redoing. She looked so frazzled so she said she'd have her manager call me.
When I sent an email explaining my frustration, I received a voicemail back where they apologized for our inconvenience and "if we don't see you again, we enjoyed taking care of your dogs". They didn't even offer any resolution. It was very disappointing.
I am sorry to see a place I used to love make a mistake like this. I just personally cannot trust taking my dogs there anymore unfortunately. The staff is nice, the place is clean, and this could just be a one time occurrence but that is all it takes for me when it involves the health/safety of my dogs. read more
