From a friend: They took my post down whenever I put it on google or Facebook but I ll put it here for people to read. I LOVE dogs so when I was offered a job here I thought it would be my dream job. I hadn t been so excited for something in a very long time. After one shift I went home and cried my eyes out and said I wouldn t be coming back. I was too afraid to be upfront about why I would never be returning but it s been eating me up ever since and I feel like people have a right to know.
-The area is not very big for the dogs and I was quite taken back by it.
- Small dogs and big dogs are not separated. Little yorkies in with large dogs one of which I was warned is a fighter
- Not a single dog went outside all day. If they have to go to the bathroom they go on the floor. By the time you can get something to clean it up with lots of dogs have stepped through it and are jumping on each other and wrestling on the ground. It s very disgusting. By the time your dog goes home it s covered in pee. And that is the honest truth. Their feet aren t sticky from sweat. It s pee.
- There is also no outdoor area. A lot of people have asked me about it and I don t know why because it s non existent. Everything is completely indoors. The far back room has a garage door that was open with a big kennel in front of it so no one could run away. The back of the building is the alley.
- The dogs had no toys, no beds or anything to lay on besides the pee floor, there were dogs that didn t get any water. Apparently there are a lot of dog fights that happen here and I can see why. There was even a couple while I was there. I was also given zero training in how to deal with a dog fight and the subject was treated very lightly.
- There are not cameras in every room. The daycare is split into two rooms and there is no windows or cameras to look at in either room. With ONE person trying to look after 25+ dogs it s literally impossible to know what s going on. If you re in one room and something happens in the next one you wouldn t know or would get there late. The supervision is very low.
- Dogs that love to fight do attend daycare here. One stayed in a pen all day (for $30 he could have done that at home) another one was tied to the wall on a very short cable (maybe about 20ish inches if I had to guess) from about lunch time on. Both with no water.
- If you bring your dogs something to eat for the day it s put in a cupboard and said to be donated. We are told to tell you they did eat it if you ask.
- Finally at 3:45 all dogs get taken to the very back room past the daycare room. There are metal hooks all along the wall accompanied by a short tie up cable. Everyone gets hooked to one so we can mop the floors. We use the same mop we ve been sopping up pee with all day just with some new water and pinesol. It s done very quickly. They don t want the floor getting all dirty again after mopping so the dogs stay where they are until you pick them up.

Knowing information like this has been eating me alive for the past two weeks. I was very scared to speak up about it. But your dog can t tell you how their day was so someone should. Someone who has nothing to hide hides nothing. So as a customer and pet owner you should be allowed to pop in and see where your dog is and what they re doing at all times. If you re ever told no you can t go back there or can t go see where they are right now, something is wrong. That s a red flag. The things I saw are completely honest and I know I ll probably receive backlash from saying it. It s not hear say or a rumour. I got to see first hand how things are done here. I wish I had great things to say and that I was still working there now but unfortunately that was just not the case. It feels good to get off my chest finally and I can now move forward.
