It was the…read morefirst time we were leaving them for an extended period of time so of course we were nervous/sad about leaving them somewhere unknown. This kennel was recommended to me and I'm glad we took them here! Bonnie the owner, lives on the premises which gives you a piece of mind. The dogs had their own little door where they let them go outside and the inside was heated and looked super clean! When we picked them up, they actually smelled clean (which wasn't the case when we took them to a pet resort overnight). They ate pretty decently which also didn't seem like the case when we left them at the other place. Seemed like they were much happier here than at the pet resort and you can't beat the price! We will definitely use this kennel again in the future.

We left our 2 dogs for 4 nights over Thanksgiving. We called to check on them and were told that they were doing great. The dogs were kenneled separately, however we were told that they were let out in the run together and were playing. We called to ask if the video cameras could be turned on because we wanted to view them while we were away, the kennel never called us back. When we picked them up we were told that the older dog (13) was aggressive to staff and was never allowed out of the kennel, which conflicted with what we were told on the phone. He has a big (silver dollar sized) lesion on his face and a chipped tooth that is right under the lesion, as though he was kicked. This will require veterinary treatment. This dog has never been aggressive towards people. Both dogs had lost a considerable amount of weight. A very disappointing and scary experience.

We eventually found this place and they were SO welcoming! We dropped them off and they had so many great options for the dogs, including licky mats and a Thanksgiving meal! We got some amazing pictures and they really went above and beyond to play with the dogs and make sure that they were well loved and exercised. They even put their food into kongs to give them more stimulation. Really such a wonderful caring place and for half the price of what we would have paid at a dog hotel where they wouldn't have gotten that love and attention. I'm actually so disappointed we live so far away, otherwise they would be here for every vacation!

This is the place you want your pets to stay while you're on vacation!…read more The folks at Gravel Hill Pet Wagon took such good care of our dog. We had a special family party in the area, and we didn't feel that we could leave our elderly dog in a kennel, while we traveled to Delaware. I called and spoke with Paul beforehand, and he seemed to be a kind and accommodating person, with a true love of animals. When we arrived at the kennel, Paul and Kyle came out and welcomed us to their business, and more importantly, welcomed our dog. The business is in a quiet area, not far from the Delaware beaches. It was clean and the pets had different areas to be cared for, at different times of the day. We would feel very comfortable recommending Gravel Hill Pet Wagon to anyone looking for a safe place for their pets to stay. Thanks, guys, for taking such good care of our old girl. We felt like we could relax and enjoy the party, knowing that she was in a good place, with caring people.

We took the puppy to the vet because she was peeing in her sleep. We were told by the vet it could be a bladder infection. So the vet tested and found it was a bladder infection but till they found an antibiotic it took a week or 2 and as she grew older they came back again and again. We contacted the breeder and she told us we could bring her back for another pup but by this point it seemed not an option for us. Another month or two went by and the vet said we should check her kidney levels and they were off slightly and now at almost 2 years she is in stage 2 kidney failure. Just a warning the Vet told us this is a bad line of bladder infections and the breeder has to know this so beware.

I have to be honest we…read morehave utilized the services here occasionally as our normal groomer is always so busy and difficult to schedule at last minute ...perhaps I should taken note of that before I took my dogs back there ... but before we have not been as dissatisfied as this time. We have 2 golden retrievers and our youngest is losing his winter coat... so alot of fur and in need of a good grooming with trim. Please see what we got in photo below!!! Blisters from CLIPPER BURN and now infected. No they arent hotspots they were blisters that opened yesterday. My husband called after services and upon seeing the redness and blisters that formed he was not rude infact he used "disappointed with grooming and clipped too short and we never want him clipped that short again". Today at 8:03 am (the salon opens up at 0800 am) I received callback and it was "chelsea" and she was in rare form, right off the bat ready to let me have it and inform me "umm yes I was the groomer that clipped your dog and my clipper blades weren't hot and vet's misdiagnose this all time it's not clipper burn". Hmmm first red flag dading makes me think not the first time of this complaint. Looked into n reviews today and guess what it's not!!Then I hear a female in the background very caustic and cursing really loud and then i hear laughing. i asked Chelsea who is that swearing and yelling and is it directed to me and did they find this funny? Chelsea unbelievable answered "yeah and she is laughing at you because she knows that vets misdiagnose this all time". I said to Chelsea are you serious realizing at that point I knew I was speaking to a poor representative of this licensed business. So I asked who the owner was and Chelsea quickly responded " that would be my mom, Karen" and proceeded to give me an email address and then proceeded to say "well if he wasn't matted because you neglect your dog bc you dont brush him" , i said neglect my dog are you kidding me? If he had matting that bad then Chelsea, should not have clippered him to his bare skin if you couldnt see it. You should have taken more time and used scissors and products and again take time just don't clipper him directly to his skin. chelsea ended the conversation and said "well if your not happy, dont come back, we dont want your business". Umm do they really think I would take my dogs back there? Are you serious !! I emailed the owner "karen" and proceeded to go to the scheduled vet appointment. It was clipper burn and infact vet actually said it is one of the worst he has seen (a vet for years) and stated they clipper for surgeries and even they have not ever seen it as bad and he stated exactly what i said to chelsea if Teddie was "so matted" you don't clipper to skin. He said it is additionally infected directly at the level of skin. Shot, oral abx and topical ointment, and we went on our way. I still have not heard any response from owner! Poor business!!
