My dog loves it here and everyone here loves my dog lol. My dog was very scared at first and weary of new people but after a couple days of doing day care here she has come out of her shell and will happily drag me to the door to go here. She sleeps so good once she gets home (see picture). I like how they have cameras so you can check on your dog through the day. I would highly recommend trying out this place.

I initially really liked this place, the location is convenient and the price is affordable for boarding. But after my dog’s most recent stay, he has kennel cough for the THIRD time. The first time I thought it was just because his bordatella was recently given to him and I thought maybe it hadn’t had enough time to be effective. The second time I was suspicious that it was the Dog Zone but couldn’t be sure since he was around some friend’s dogs around the same time. Now…I know. After calling his vet to schedule a visit, she said almost every single dog they see with kennel cough has recently stayed at the Dog Zone. And not only that, the vet calls them to report when a dog gets sick from their facility and yet NOTHING appears to be done about it. After 3 sick visits and 3 courses of antibiotics for my pup, I’m out hundreds of dollars because of this negligence. It’s not acceptable.
