I love this place and my dog loves going there. They knew my dog by name from day one, and half the time when I arrive to pick her up, they see me drive up and have her waiting for me in the lobby. I can watch her play to my heart's content on their webcam, but I can also see that the staff is constantly cleaning and caring for the dogs. I can't say enough good about City Pet Club.
My dog has never gotten sick from being there. It's a requirement that all dogs have their shots current and they are serious about enforcing that. The place is kept meticulously clean and you can watch them mop and buff the floors frequently on the web cam. The first couple time my dog attended she came home very thirsty...anyone who knows dogs knows that in a new exciting environment most dogs will play hard and forget to drink...there's plenty of fresh water available all day long. There is constant attention to make sure smaller dogs are not being bullied by larger dogs, and they'll move them around if someone starts to get uncomfortable. CPC requires an interview and trial stay for new dogs, so I'm confident that they will not place any dangerous or unsocial dogs in with mine.
If your dog's first experience with ANY place is to be dropped off for boarding for four days, of course they're going to come home traumatized. My dog comes home from CPC happy and tired and can't wait to go back. She loves everyone on the staff and they love her and I know if I do have to board her there that she'll be among friends and not cooped up in a cage 23 hours a day.
CPC rules!
