She was recently out for a month with a serious gastrointestinal infection as well as an infection on her foot which resulted in two of her toes being removed. After reaching out to have Amber return to daycare with a veterinary clearance, we received the following e-mail: Hi, We hope you guys had a wonderful weekend. We miss Amber as well and are happy to hear that her vet doesn't have any concerns. That being said, daycare can be extremely active, and messy as well during play (when pools are out, mud, etc), and we would never want Amber to get further hurt or sick in a vulnerable state. Due to her extreme and sudden onset of medical issues, we feel as a team that we can no longer provide the level of specific care Amber needs at this time. As much as we would love to continue seeing her, we feel that it would not be the best decision for her medically. I appreciate your understanding, I apologize for the inconvenience, and wish you all the best. WTF??? Is upper management now veterinarians too? Who are you to override a veterinary clearance? We thought that is why you have EVERYONE sign a waiver which releases you from liability. What we see here is ageism plain & simple - you do not want to attend to a senior dog who can walk, run & play because you have no staff and cannot be bothered oh, by the way, this is after we, as loyal clients did not sue you after our dog was severely attacked at daycare by a bully dog who had only just joined. Yes, we are loyal clients, we came back, we recommended you to others, you used our dog as a test dog for meets & greets with potential new clients! We have never been in arrears for payment, oh wait, we actually paid in advance! This is NOT how you treat clients! We will be taking our loyalty, money & sweet girl elsewhere, this is all on you, you should be ashamed as there is no reason why she cannot come back, but after the way you just treated us, never again at UCA.

Molly (groomer) groomed my Westie just the way I like it on the first try! I have tried a few other groomers in the area that have fallen short on adhering to my grooming requests.

We started using their pet grooming first. Nikki is the absolute best! She has taken our nervous boy and works with him to help him look his best. That brings me to their amazing Doggy daycare. This is not just a kennel you drop your fur-baby off at. This is all out playtime with different activities and a lot of interaction. They take tons of photo's and post them online daily. If the weather is bad, the activities come inside. In the summer, they even have a kiddy pool outside! Shaggy is in small dog play and from the pix, has so much fun. When he gets home, he is exhausted but happy. Their boarding facilities look topnotch as well and we will find out next month how our baby likes having a sleepover!

It must be nice to ride the coattails of a legend. You may bring your own various animosity to the table, but shame on you for allowing yourself to put negative words into the universe and for teaching your staff to bad mouth someone who allowed you all to be in the position you are today. You should be thanking her and her previous staff for paving the way.

However, the team at Dog's Retreat had no problem earning his trust, and created a safe/fun environment that helped build Troy's confidence and burn his energy. Not only could I relax when Troy was at Dog's retreat, their prices are beyond reasonable and the staff is super friendly. They even stayed open late so I could pick Troy up after my flight was delayed beyond their closing time. It's an amazing business and you can tell that they care. I really appreciate everything they did for Troy/me and encourage anyone who loves their pet and needs boarding/daycare to use Dog's Retreat!

In the early stages, they worked with him to get to know his quirks well so that he would feel comfortable in a new environment. He now literally jumps out of the car when we arrive to drop off.

I don't know if their dogs are perfect but man was I made to feel horrible. Would not pay ever again to have my dog in a fenced in area in a garage filled with other dogs. Didn't meet the husband but the wife was enough. If you really want a good space for your dog please check out Milton Manor near Saratoga where your dog will have its own private shed. That way if your dog is barking during times the owner doesn't approve maybe she can just tune it out.

When we spoke with Karen she explained that they only board 7 dogs at a time, and take care to reduce health risks. Our bulldog had a great time, with lots of one-on-one time to play with the owners and other dogs boarding. Also a plus is that their fees are so much more reasonable than kennels in Manhattan. When we visit the area again we will definitely return to Maple Lawn B&B.

I took my maltese here for boarding and grooming for almost 16 years (my dog just passed). In this time the cost for a grooming only went up three dollars and some change! I was always happy with his cut and reasonable time it took for him to be groomed. Amy used to groom him, she was the best. My dog always came out with a big smile on his face. The staff are ALL beyond kind and considerate towards my dog and I. I boarded him at least once or twice a year (for 10 days) in the suites with the webcams. You must book early for these on holidays. I loved checking in on him and watching him play in the doggie day care (while I missed him on vacation). The staff are attentive to any medications and/or dietary needs, and will call you if there are any major problems while boarded. This business is so great that there is a strong following of people who keep it really busy, so plan ahead for a grooming and boarding. It will be worth it. I totally recommend Pet Spas and Suites. They are so personable and caring. This isn't run like a corporate pet store where you never see the same people again the next time you come in, the crates are half the size at the corporate chain pet store. I went once and they were rude. I had a friend whom the corp. chain didn't take notes on her dog who had a hip problem (nor did they listen to the owners) and the dog ended up getting hurt- requiring surgery- costing thousands of dollars and pain and suffering to her dog. That would never happen at Pet Spa. It will be sometime before I get another pup but I know where I'll be taking him/her when I do. I will miss the Pet Spa & Suites family until then. Thank you for all the love you gave my dog Caesar and the beautiful things you did to honor his life after he passed. They meant the world to me.

The whole team is knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and they love and care for every dog as if it were their own personal dog. Training - Sam, CaNine's trainer, is the best in the country! She helped me get my life back with my 2 pups by my side and now we are able to do EVERYTHING together! I recently went to a restaurant that didn't allow dogs in the outdoor tent dining area, but because my 2 were so well behaved they made an exception to the rule! So yes, she has helped me to achieve one of my dreams - doing everything with my dogs! Boarding - CaNine staff are now the only people I trust to leave both of my dogs with while I'm away. It's a safe environment with alarm systems and security and when my dogs are there I know they're being treated like royalty in an environment that is safe for them. Day camp - I have 2 pit bull mixes and they're FULL of energy! They come home completely exhausted from playing with all their friends!! They do report cards so you know how your dog enjoyed camp and who they played with. Grooming - Amy and her grooming staff are again the best in the country!! The best cuddle sessions with my pups are after they've been groomed by CaNine - they bring "feeling silky" to a whole new level!! The #1 thing that I've experienced with CaNine is their honesty, integrity, honorability, and their desire to give your pup a happy, safe experience while welcoming them into the CaNine family. And yes, after you've used any service that CaNine offers you will see that it is just one big family and before you know it you'll be using it all!!
