After having a horrible experience at another facility, I was wary of entrusting my dogs somewhere else. I recently had to go out of town and couldn't take my dogs with me so I had to find a new place.
I remembered seeing a feature on Rowdy Dogs on one of the news stations before the holidays. I went out to take a tour of the facility and as I pulled in, I was greeted by the owner's beautiful Ibizan Hounds and Whippets in the enclosed front yard.
When I walked into the main building, I was welcomed by the owner, Nancy and was given a tour of the entire business. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility as whole. This not only included the main building and boarding areas, but all of the outside enclosures as well. The boarding areas and their individual attached outside yards are very nice sized.
After I described the bad experience I had at Le Chateau Pet Resort, where a known aggressive and intact male dog was put into a play group with mine and bit one of my dog's ear off, I was assured that dog's wouldn't be put in groups like that at Rowdy Dog's because of safety concerns. FINALLY...someone in the pet care industry in Amarillo that understands pet behavior!!!
A couple of weeks after my initial visit, I boarded my dogs there. I was again greeted by Nancy who took inventory of all of the items I brought for their stay and made sure she had all of their feeding instructions and vaccination records. We then took them back to their reserved area where I said good bye and headed out of town.
Even though I was very happy with everything I had seen at Rowdy Dogs, I was still apprehensive because of my previous experience. I was put at ease later in the day when I received a text message from Nancy with a photo of my dogs playing and having a great time!
When I went to pick them up, I met Nancy's husband, Kentt, who told me how much they enjoyed having my dogs there. They may say that to everyone, but they really meant it about my dogs! He and Nancy also mentioned things about the personalities of my dogs and their play styles that told me they spent a good deal of time with them during their stay.
The pricing is very reasonable for what you get. Nancy and Kentt are both very personable and I will continue to support and use Rowdy Dogs anytime I need to leave my dogs overnight. read more
