Quality Care! That's what a person should be able to Assume when they are left in a professional medical environment. It is the Vets responsiblity to ensure that other personnnel will abide to these guidelines. I did ask questions and continued to call. I was told of no problems. It is not OK that most boarding facilites as you stated do minimal care. Medical Professionals should not tolerate "minimal" care. That's not what they are trained to do and take an oath to abide by. Minimal care IS WRONG! Sorry, Dear - I totally disagree with your comments.

Also, some dogs act really different when they are being boarded than when they are at home. For example, there was a yorkie being boarded at the dog boutique/grooming salong where I worked. The workers seriously took it out really often but it would not go outside..it would only pee in its cage. By the end of the weekend, the dog had pee all over it. It wasn't that the dog wasn't cared for...she was taken out often, fed, watered, etc...but she was peeing all over herself. And her bed of course was urine soaked as well. Normally, she would have gotten a bath before she left but the owners had said not to bathe her...so she went home a mess.
You can't just assume that they'll be cared for in a certain way. Most kennels/boarding facilities give them minimal care...they are fed, watered, and walked and that's it. So you've really got to be careful and ask a lot of questions. Most places wouldn't get my business because I require a lot more for Lacy's care. And I know you do too...I just really doubt they were mistreated but they obviously weren't cared for like you would have wanted. But it wasn't that they did anything wrong..they did what most boarding facilities do..it was just that it wasn't up to par with what most of us want for our babies. |
