Lived down the street from their first( I believe) location on McCallum@ Coit half a lifetime ago. Now I am head of the grooming dept at the Richardson location. Stop in with all your furry friends. Dog, cat, all breeds. We have daycare, overnight, as well as long term boarding. Let our experienced staff care for your pets as if they were our own.

Boarded my dog for 11 days. Included playing in the doggie day care. Observed her via webcam. She was having fun and made friends. She was happy to see me when I picked her up. Tge technician told me how well behaved and sweet she was. She was bathed, had trimmed nails and smelled good. I definately will board here again.

I told the staff that my 33 lb dog needed to be in the large dog day care when I dropped her off. I saw on the cameras she was in the small dog day care. I called and asked that she be moved, and they did. The next day she was in the small dog day care again. They said they would call if there was a change and they didn't. They are irresponsible and on top of not listening to their customers they do not play with the dogs in daycare. Watch the cameras.

This was a disappointing experience. The place is understaffed and it shows. One employee was working between 2 rooms constantly watching the other room through the window. I'm sure the employee worked hard. she was just in charge of too much for one person. We asked for our dog to have water breaks which they agreed to that never happened. I understand my dog has need and will not drink in front of other dogs, but no fresh water was available in the room and she was not taken out for any special breaks.
She has a congenital kidney disease and she needs lots of water to ensure hydration. Don't commit to something you cannot meet. And don't take dogs in multiple rooms if you can't staff 2 separate rooms. There were only 4 big dogs. so if you can't staff it just don't take the business. I would ask a lot of questions and will not be bringing my dog back. So unfortunate. I'm sure the employees try hard but it's just too much for one person to bounce between 2 rooms. Webcams are public so watch for yourself before committing to drop your dog off.
