I have a shorkie, which has more of a shi-tsu traits. My wife and i left her on boarding,clean and with her medium length hair well groomed. She was supposed to stay for a week, but we were able to pick her up a day earlier. We she saw us, she was very happy to see us back, jumping and wanting to be over all over us. We took her back to the car and noticed pee smell, and followed at this, when she calmed herself down, we noticed her tail was a complete mat. She had huge mats under her ears and sticking to pee on her paws. Once at home, we gave her a full bath, but even then her paws still smell to pee. I spent 3 hours trying to undo all the mats she got at the place, but is a never ending work. I sincerely do not know how you treat dog there, leaves much to say when it comes to mine. On top of that, we left food for her that at home usually lasts about 2 weeks, and was surpeised to get a call saying her food was about to run out. In the begginig we thought was a good thing, she was eating well, but even more surprising was to hear that wasn't the case, they served her food with water (i wonder why... i a 1 and a half year dog, not an old one that has no teeth), and they throw it away. As final note, i want to thank you Bed and Biscuit staff, I spent months and many many hours taking care of her hair, and you managed to ruin months work in less than a week, something that even without taking care of her hair would result impossible at home. And please, answer this question: do you leave dogs to walk on their (or other dogs) pee? I surely do not find any explanation at how it could happen.
Response from the owner: Hi Ezequiel, we’re sorry to hear you were not satisfied with your experience. Our team follows strict protocols for cleanliness, grooming, and overall care, including bathing dogs when needed and providing regular brushing upon request. Many clients communicate their grooming preferences and bring their own brushes to support their pet’s routine during boarding, which we note in our digital calendar and follow as requested. Unfortunately, there was no communication from your end regarding this.Kennel hygiene is a top priority. Accidents are cleaned immediately, and the inside areas of the kennels are thoroughly washed at least once daily, or more often if needed. Each dog also receives a fresh, clean blanket every day for their comfort.Every dog has a designated outdoor run area that is cleaned six times per day to maintain a sanitary space. Because this space serves as their bathroom area, we ensure it remains individual to each dog to avoid any inconveniences.Additionally, our team actively cleans all play yards throughout the day and sprays down the gravel area daily with dog-safe cleaning supplies to keep all areas disinfected and clean.To address your concern, dogs do not walk in their own or others’ urine. If a dog has an accident in their kennel, they are bathed immediately, and their space is fully sanitized to ensure a clean and comfortable environment.Regarding adding water to food, this is only done in specific cases, such as when a pup refuses to eat. In some cases, and only with owner approval, we may mix the pup’s food with water or wet food to encourage eating. This is not a standard practice, and we always communicate any feeding changes to the owner for approval.In addition to increasing staff and resources, we’ve implemented ongoing professional grooming training for our team to further enhance the quality of care we provide.We appreciate the opportunity to clarify our procedures and value your feedback.
