My dogs' stays at the Pet Hotel have always been great experiences for them. As we enter pet smart, they are happily wagging their tails, all excited, as long as we make the left turn towards the hotel. If we go straight ahead, toward grooming and Banfield, they put on the breaks and try to escape.
My oldest dog, a Chinese Crested, has a lot of skin problems, so I keep a little shirt on him at all times to keep him from biting and scratching his back and sides. In general, dogs aren't allow to wear shirts and sweaters while boarding, but they were not only willing to make an excepting, but when I picked him up, they had bought him a cute little shirt (at no charge to me) for him to wear and to take home.
During another stay, they did call me with concerns when one of my dogs wasn't feeling well. Everything turned out to be fine.
My only complaint, would be that it can be a bit pricey; if you order all the bells and whistles off the menu for your pet, it can be a Four Seasons experience.
I definitely give Pet Smart Hotel a high recommendation. read more
