I am super picky about boarding my dogs. I avoid it if possible but sometimes it just isn t possible as you know. Had to make a week trip to Vermont. Did loads of research and decided on Dog Gone Happy. I am so happy I did! The staff was fantastic at answering all my nervous nelly questions and explaining how my babies have never been left before. No one talked down to me or made me feel like a fool for being so concerned. I have had that at other places. My dogs are like my kids (now that my human kids are grown).

My dogs got to stay together and had plenty of space. I brought only their dog food from home and their specific bowls because of height issues and a slow feeder. They do have food they can provide but, I didn t see the need to cause upset tummies. I did let mine use the facility dog beds and blankets that were provided but, sent a couple of t-shirts that had been worn (1for each) so they had a comforting smell from home.

I was planning to call immediately the next day in the morning but that night I received a report card that showed my two puppers sweetly resting on dogs beds and looking fine. Dog bowls were empty so they obviously ate okay too. The staff continued to send regular report cards with pictures of my dogs in the daycare enjoying themselves too. Dogs being boarded get to participate in doggie daycare unless you specified not to. Honestly, I felt so good about my dogs that I actually may take another vacation! I didn t feel guilty after seeing their faces. They seemed to be clearly having fun! This is a fabulous place for dogs and there is a vet on site just in case. I will absolutely use them again for boarding and am thinking I will get a daycare package just so they can have opportunities to play from time to time.
