Just want to scoop poo by frank s. at InsiderPages

I have to agree with the other reviews. Anne Hendrickson is a Dog Hating Hosebag whos' real actions are very diffferent from the mission statement posted on the DowntownDogs Web page.

I bet she is a bit-o-terrific to work for. I wounder what she does in her off time. I think Downtown Dogs is an amoral outfit that needs some stiff competition to deal with; maybe that will improve costermer service. I applied for a job and nobody can return my calls nor can they answer any question of substance when I pose it to the staff of downtown dogs. I'd like to buy the place and fire Anne

Too many dogs, bad smell

by Kellyp2233 at Citysearch

everytime my dog comes home, it always smells and it is sad to see the dogs going to the bathroom inside. There are too many dogs and not enough people. it looks like there are 50 dogs in 1 room with 1 person watching them. They always bark and the staff yells at them. We pick up our dog and the bed smelled like urine. i will never go here again.

• Pros: good location
• Cons: it is just a dog factory

gathering of the K-9's

?As a contractor I have done several projects for Downtown Dogs. They put quality of work and safety of the dog?s far head of the price to the business in any work they do. I also get to see how they handle the dogs when no customers are present. They are extremely patient and skilled. It?s really a fun place to work. I love watching the dogs play and interacting with them too. It is great working around all of the different dog types and I have definitely developed a group of favorites. If I had a dog I would bring them in a heartbeat.?

the best

I have been taking my dog to this day care ever since he was a puppy and we have absolutely loved it! Two years have passed and I have not one complaint! The staff members are always helpful and very friendly. The facility is very clean considering 100+ dogs are running around there a day which must be a hard task to keep up. A few of my co-workers also take their dogs there and they love it as well! I could not think of a better place to leave my dog for a few hours or a weekends stay. He has so much fun there with all the other dogs! A+ !!!!!!

• Pros: Great service, a wonderful place for your pooch!
• Cons: not sure about the owner, I have never seen him/or her. No other issues.

WARNING!! Find a better, and most likely cheaper place.

I dropped my 10 month old puppy off for a weekend stay instead of letting her stay with friends who wouldnt have charged me, because these people are supposed to be professionals. Also, my dog is still a puppy so I dont trust her with a lot of people. I got her back after 2.5 days and she was so sick she could barely breathe and had green discharge coming out of her eyes and nose.

At first I gave this place the benefit of the doubt, but when I asked for a refund due to the fact that they had never even alerted me to her condition, they refused to do that. If this really were such a "rare" thing for this kennel, I would think that they wouldnt hesitate to be as helpful as possible and refund the $117 I spent for her stay there. I have now spent $400 between boarding fees and vet bills, as well as missed time from work to take my dog in for appointments.

• Cons: sick dog, no alert as to her illness, expensive, poor customer service when brought to their attention
