Hound Dog Pet Hotel

For anyone who cares about their pet.... ...this is the ONLY place to board. I have boarded a cat and now three different dogs at the Hound Dog and have nothing but wonderful things to say about the experiences. I assumed my cat would FREAK at being boarded anywhere simply because he's a cat...but he was calm and happy when I handed him over, and just the same guy as always when I picked him up. The staff even happily indulged my over-protectiveness by letting me "spy" on him for the first 15 minutes or so after I left him.

I appreciate how friendly the staff is, how much they care about the animals, and how they honestly get to know all of them. They are always able to tell me details about my animals' stay and my dogs practically climb over one another to get into the door. And when I pick them up, even after just a few hours of day care, they are clean, happy, and worn out from all of the fun!

I have recommended the Hound Dog to all of my friends and consider this place a second family for my animals. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR MY ANIMAL FAMILY!!…

Never Again. I boarded my dogs over a three day weekend and was horrified with what I saw when I went for pick-up. As I stood in a very long line waiting to pick up my dogs I watched as dog after dog came out and immediately urinated. They clearly hadn't been out for a long time, as it was a substantial quantity and very dark in color. They clearly don't get them out as often as stated. My dogs bed was saturated with urine, and then one of the dogs threw up and it was the other dogs food. They new it was a prescription diet and that they needed to make sure they didn't eat the wrong food. Their lack of care caused a severe flare-up of pancreatitis. When I brought this to the attention of the owner at the front desk I was greeted with complete disregard. She would be better in the back of the business and put someone who smiles at the front desk. Needless to say, I haven't been back to that location nor will I go to her new location. I know of other dogs that go there and have eye infections after every stay. Clearly the sanitation is inadequate. Don't let the gloss and hype sway you. I was thoroughly disappointed.…

A home away from home!. I am the proud owner of older, high-maintenance dogs that I have refused to board anywhere. As youngsters I boarded them at a Minneapolis kennel and they came home with kennel cough and no voices left from barking all day. Then I discovered the HDPH! I began with dropping them off for daycare occasionally, and what I found upon picking them up were bathed, tired and HAPPY dogs! The staff was able to tell me how they spent their days, which other dogs they played with, and even had pictures of my boys out in the play yard playing with their new friends. Not one time have my dogs come home hoarse or stressed in any way. When I had the courage to try an overnight stay it was just as wonderful an experience as daycare had been, and we've been boarding there ever since.

I have found boarding kennels to be secretive about what goes on behind the doors after you drop your dog off...unless you schedule a tour you can't see what your dogs are doing! Everyone I have dealt with at the HDPH has been more than willing to show me around and I am always able to see where my dogs are staying, where they get to play outside, etc. They absolutely understand that these boys are not just my pets but my family!

My dogs have special dietary and medical needs and the HDPH staff has taken the time to get to know the dogs, their needs, meds, etc. When I bring the boys, even if it's just for daycare and I haven't called ahead, the staff know my dogs names and my boys can't wait to go play. I have recommended HDPH to many friends and family members, all of whom have had wonderful boarding experiences with dogs and cats, as well.

Thank you for this wonderful place!!…
