We had to find boarding for our 3 dogs in short order as we had a family emergency out of town…read more None of the dogs had ever been boarded before so we were a little nervous on how they would do. We checked out Kritter Kare's Howliday Inn and a few other places near us on a Tuesday and the dogs had to be boarded starting Wednesday. We choose to use the Howliday Inn and I'm glad we did. The facility is clean, modern and welcoming. The 3 staff members we interacted with with were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. There is a large inside common area for the doggy day care and at least 3 outside play yards. I was shown two boarding areas and we were able to keep our 3 dogs together in one area which really seemed to help with any anxiousness they had about the new and unexpected situation. They were super accommodating to our needs of a very early drop off and a very late pick up due to the last-minute out of town travel. They communicated with me after the drop-off, providing updates and even pics on how the dogs were doing. The rates were fair/comparable and communicated up-front . The short story is the dogs were well taken care of and seemed to have a good time. I certainly recommend this business and will use it again if we need to board any or all of our dogs again. BTW - they also offer day sitting/playtime and additional services that can be performed while your dog is boarded such as grooming and nail care. Thanks to Jen and her staff for helping out in a hectic time and we're so happy that everything worked out great for the dogs.

I have a 5 year old German shepherd. She is about 95 pounds, very loving towards my wife and I,…read morebut is very, very uncontrolled. We took her to another trainer in town. After six weeks of training there, Daisy, the GSD still didn't obey us. Daisy is extremely aggressive towards other dogs, barks at anyone that comes near me, and just makes walking her a nightmare. Daisy learned to break through her invisible fence and thus, left our yard a few times and caused a couple of complaints from our neighbors. She also attacked and killed a baby deer in our neighbors yard. We had to find a way to control this dog. After an adoption fell through, we were stuck with this GSD. Out of desperation, I called Kranky K9. I was very skeptical. After our first go around with training was complete failure, I didn't think anybody could turn this dog around. I was afraid that since she can break her invisible fence, she may attack a neighbors dog and I would have to put her down. Fast forward a few months. I can't believe it! Bo Harrison has changed our dog. Daisy is so well behaved. Also, our fears that Kranky K9 would "break her spirit" were completely unfounded. Daisy loves her new life. I walk her everyday off leash. We have come across rabbits, dear, other dogs, and always, without hesitation, Daisy will recall right to my side. People always compliment us on how well behaved our GSD is. Last week, I came across another couple walking an out-of-control dog. The man had to drag the dog away and hold him down. Daisy....nothing. She didn't care. She was more interested in us than the other dog. When I say is more happy, well, that means she can run a little in front of me during walks and sniff things and basically be a dog. That is so much more fun for her than being on a short leash prior to this training. If I need her to come to me, I simply call her and she returns. If I need to step things up a bit, I just "buzz" her. Daisy wears a collar that vibrates when I "buzz" her. No pain, but she responds! As a final test, I had Daisy not chase a garbage truck. She left the FEDEX guy alone. She even watched the mail truck stop in front of our house w/o losing her mind. Thanks you, thank you, thank you Kranky K9. Now, walking Daisy is fun and relaxing, no more stress.

I'm not one to leave reviews, ever, but our first kenneling experience has left us never wanting to…read morekennel our dog ever again. It started on Friday, June 19th, when I dropped my 8 month old Husky-German Shepherd off. I waited in my car and watch as he trained another husky. When I entered the building Zach said "Sorry about that. Huskies are fine until they don't listen, then I'm just an asshole." Red flag one, which should have made me turn around and leave. Furthermore: I left instructions online for medication and food administration and in person we verbally talked about it. All he had to do was give 1 pill. That's all. We decided to leave our trip early and come home late Saturday night, the next day. We asked if my mom could pick her up at 8 pm, the response was no. So we asked when the earliest we could get her Sunday was, which was 10 am. We thought that's fine, we will get there right at 10. When we got there at 10 on Sunday morning she was happy to see us, of course! We asked how she was and he said good. He then proceeded to say, when she got out of the kennel this morning she had peed as he let her out, so I apologized if she smelled. Thinking to myself, well that's okay she wasn't in it or anything so she can't smell that bad. He said he sprayed his "magical spray" on her to make her smell better and kill bacteria. He asked if she smelled but it's hard to tell when you're in a dog kennel that smells like dog regardless. We asked how play time on Saturday went and his response was "It didn't happen because my mom decided Father's Day was that day". So we grab her bag and leave and we get in the truck and are isolated from the dog smell and all we smell is urine. We had to immediately take her home and give her a bath because she smelled horrible. Her whole body- tail, TOP of her head, collar (which i washed friday- so I know it was clean), belly, back, literally everything!! So there is no way she just happened to be right then So as we drove home, I opened her bag and low and behold there was her medication pill I had asked to be given. One pill. How hard can it be? So in the 40 hours our dog was kenneled, after a fresh bath beforehand: she came home smelling like urine requiring two baths, not been given her medication, and what sounds like minimal contact or socialization all weekend. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Her level of communication is above our previous sitters, she replies to messages quickly and it's so nice to get an update with each visit plus photos. It was a pleasant surprise to come home to a "welcome home" setup, complete with report cards on how the kids did, and a super thoughtful touch was her asking for a touch base to make sure we got home as planned and the pets didn't need any additional checks. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to one of our fur babies last week, and after her drop-in, she left a sympathy card for us with the sweetest note. I never would've expected that and it was so touching. It's easy to see pets are her passion and I'm sure everyone else at Theuerkauf's is just as great, we've only just interacted with Lauren so far. I've already recommended their services to multiple friends!

If you love your pets do not take them to Animal Hospital of O'Fallon…read more Putting aside for a moment that the inside of the place is cold, hard, and shabby like an Eastern Bloc morgue, the vet techs cannot complete simple tasks like reading the location of a clinic printed on a past vet record. Apparently, differentiating between "Illinois" and "South Carolina" is not something they teach at vet tech school. But if they can't get basic literacy right, then what else are they screwing up? I wanted to understand what was going on because my cats can't speak for themselves and it's my duty to protect them. Then out of nowhere, the veterinarian, Dr. Schilling, accused me of "insulting" the vet tech. This is a lie, one that goes to the very heart of Dr. Schilling's character (or lack thereof). But even before that, speaking with Dr. Schilling was frustrating because she does not converse like a medical professional or even an adult. If concern for my pets makes me a bad man -- if concern for my pets makes me "insulting" -- then I'm guilty as charged. But I suspect everyone reading this review is guilty of the same. I rounded up my little guys and immediately got them out of that dark and sad little place, away from these insane and unprofessional people. As other reviewers have noted, it's important to keep in mind they'll take your money long before they see your pets. I understand why now.
