The vet was closed and not answering the emergency line. We are from southern Illinois....so this was an anxious situation. We went to PetSmart and the employee couldn't help us there.

Well, there's a great alternative, you can have someone come to your home and care for your pets, walk them and feed them while you're out of town and they'll have all of the comforts of your own home instead of a small cage. We use Jennifer for our golden retriever whenever we have to head out of town and she's great about getting him out for walks and spending some QT with him. She's insured and bonded as well and can do a range of pets. Give Tails to Scales a call instead of sending your pets to mini jail cells! They'll thank you when you get back!

I called many of the local dog daycare/boarding locations but all of them were booked or were not taking new dogs. Then came The Animal Inn to the rescue! They quickly responded to my voicemail and were able to take both dogs that day! After a few minute conversation about our dogs, their vaccination records, and where to locate the facility, we were all set up and dropped the dogs off about an hour later. The whole process was very easy, and once in-person with the staff it is very clear that they are experienced and care about your dogs. They gave us many options and asked us many questions to make sure both us and the dogs would be comfortable with their stay. I also liked that I could bring in bones from home for them, but it was also nice that they have blankets and everything there so I didn't have to bring all of their belongings with us. When we picked them up, the staff member told us that one of our dogs wouldn't come inside after playtime and gave the staff a smiling grin with her squinted eyes - which is a clear sign to me that they let our dogs have fun and that they were enjoying themselves, because that's her exact behavior at home when she's happy. For the two dogs boarded together with additional play time at night and in the morning, it was $57! I still can't get over that. Our daycare at home is $50 per dog per night with no added extras. I would absolutely bring our dogs back if we're in the Marquette area again, and anyone looking for boarding should feel comfortable bringing their pups here as well.

After this last stay, they will never go back and I wouldn't recommend anyone else send your dogs here. Our dog showed up on a harness, which we told them couldn't stay on her. They left it on her all weekend and now she has a huge infected hot spot under her neck. When I called to ask the place about it the owner pretty much said "oh well sorry I wasn't here when your dogs were" and "I guess I'll chew out the other people working there". When I asked to be reimbursed for the vet bill I will now have, she yelled "send me the damn bill I guess I'll pay it" the place takes no accountability for what happens to your dogs under their care.

I was greeted almost immediately when I got there, and my pet was, too. The groomer was friendly and polite. She clearly had an affinity for dogs.

We started Puppy Pre-school with Erin and Kim which was great for training *me* on raising a puppy and introducing training to my pup. We did some private sessions with Kim to work on specific behaviors (barking, barrier reactivity, over excited greetings, etc). They gave me suggestions and demonstrated proper training techniques - (always with positive reinforcement). Every class/session is followed-up with an in-depth e-mail review on how to train the specific tasks/tricks we worked on in class and gives homework. They are very supportive and loving to all the dogs. I also used their doggy day-care for socialization/play time and Kim was great about scheduling him on days when other dogs he would have fun with would be there. Highly recommend!
