We wanted to share some deeply troubling concerns regarding our recent experience at Dogtopia of…read moreOld Bridge, where we boarded our 4-year-old Boston Terrier for four days. Upon our return, we were horrified to discover a significant injury on our dog--a 1.5-inch puncture with dried pus which required staples to close. This situation clearly reflects a severe lack of proper care and oversight from the facility staff. The severity of the injury was unmistakable, and the fact that it went untreated for an extended period highlights a substantial failure in daily health checks and a lack of commitment to monitoring the well-being of the animals in their care. It is deeply troubling that such an evident issue was either missed or ignored, suggesting serious deficiencies in the facility's protocols and a disregard for the welfare of the animals entrusted to them. The manager did admit to negligence on their part. Our dog's condition has been profoundly distressing and has severely undermined our trust in Dogtopia's ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment. This experience has raised significant concerns about the potential for further harm due to such neglect. I strongly urge pet owners to carefully reconsider their choice of boarding facility and ensure that their beloved pets are placed in an environment that prioritizes their health and well-being. In light of this incident, we believe it is crucial for Dogtopia to reevaluate their procedures and ensure stricter adherence to health and safety standards. Only through such measures can they hope to restore the trust of their clients and guarantee the well-being of the pets in their care. We were extended a free day of play for our troubles, which we declined........NEVER AGAIN.

I couldn't even go to the bathroom without him barking and whimpering outside the door. Then he started at Raise the Woof. He loves it there and now easily, and I might say, eagerly separates from me. Everyone at Raise the Woof truly cares about the dogs under their care. Raise the Woof is extremely clean and has large indoor and outdoor spaces for the dogs, who are separated into groups, to play and have a ball. At the end of the day my pup is completely exhausted. He is happy, we are happy and our evening at home is peaceful. Thank you Melissa, Brendon and the rest of the staff at RTW.

If you're in the area and have an active pup, consider Raise the Woof, you won't regret it!

SAVE YOURSELF AND PETS. They failed to put our pet to sleep…read more We brought our dog here to be put to sleep and they failed. We ended up leaving with our dog. Of course it's one of the most difficult days a pet owner will have, this hospital made it worse and botched the procedure causing us to leave with our dog after dealing with the pain of saying goodbye. First they messed up our appointment and told us it was a week away. Instead of owning the mistake the receptionist told us it was our mistake and therefore, problem. It didn't matter that my family and I walked in with crying. We asked the receptionist if the doctor could squeeze us in or if she can call the next appointment to see if they can swap at a later time. The receptionist said no. After asking again if she could ask the vet to squeeze us in the receptionist said she'll ask but the vet won't say yes. After sometime the vet did make the accommodation to take us. After entering the room they took our dog back to start the process. Something went wrong with the needle/catheter causing massive discomfort for our dog and for her to bleed onto us while we held her waiting for the vet to come with the IV to start the process of euthanizing. After getting the catheter back in something caused them to not be able to get the IV in. I believe it was because our dog wouldn't stay still. Previous to the catheter our dog laid quietly and still in our arms for 1.5 hours. The movement from our dog likely was because of the needle/catheter that didn't take right that cause her to bleed. After sometime they gave our very small dog a sedative to help calm her down, that didn't work for far too long. This all lasted, what felt like, 30 minutes. Our dog started yelping once the catheter was in. We finally said enough is enough and left with our dog. Who knows what would've happened next. The technicalities of what went wrong and why are confusing to me. I'm not a doctor and this was already a horrible day. All that I know is this place created one of the worst days in my entire families life. Now, we have to bring ourselves to repeat the process of putting our dog to sleep.

He is more than reasonable & quite frankly the only trainer I got along with. And I spoke to several self proclaimed as "BEST" from NNJ to CT to upstate NY, none of which the initial call ended pleasantly. Others claim to be so great yet try to pitch an absolute need to send dog off to a 3 week college in order to achieve any results. On the initial phone call I was able to determine Tommy was reasonable, trustworthy and if anyone could be a success story I found the best. I was offered a initial demo/lesson in which further proved my intuition was right on. Snooki achieved results/improvement she never exhibited prior. He not only can work with your pet, but has the ability to show the client how to get the pet to obey commands & "communicate" whats expected with your pet. He didn't have to "push" anything + is always extremely patient, flexible & giving of his time which I have to value & appreciate. A+ Thank-you
