"UPDATED REVIEW 2023" removed from 5 star to 1 star. I recently took my dog back for bording on 7/28-8/1/2023 and I am incredibly mad with the level of care. When we picked up my dog she had red sores on all four legs, she was limping and she was incredibly lethargic, and thirsty. She drank 2 water bowls when we got home. When we asked about her legs upon picking her up the receptionist told me she jumped from one of the higher crates and was also lying on hard surfaces and that caused the injury. The receptionist continued to say I should bring a bed next time but they do have them for free. Really? Why didn't they give her one if they were free. Plus I DID PROVIDE her with her own sheet so she would have one of the comforts from home. TK9 NEVER notified me nor her emergency contact of the sores, or the limp. They have a VET on site and she NEVER CAME OUT TO SPEAK WITH US, just kept passing info to the receptionist. I have sent two emails and called twice to speak to the owner and no response to either form of communication. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PETS HERE

Arrived with all food bags labeled with name, am and pm along with 2 labeled extra bags. On leaving, one pm bag was untouched which meant she was not fed or she was given other food. Due to issues, she cannot tolerate other brands. This was obvious with her first poop along with a few more. It’s requested to have bags labeled. Please be more diligent and go over what is brought in on check in. Other than the bag issue, all else is good.
My dog stayed here while we were away for a long vacation and she completed the board and train program with Will. She went in a scared and timid puppy and came out a confident dog. The transformation was amazing and she has been so well behaved after returning home. I cannot thank will enough for working with her!
