We've never boarded our kitties before and usually have a pet sitter that comes to our house to check on them when were are away.

To Whom It May Concern,…read more I am submitting this formal complaint regarding my experience with Dogtopia's handling of my adopted dog during multiple visits and boarding stays. Across these interactions, I observed repeated communication inconsistencies, a lack of transparency regarding incidents, and increasingly unprofessional conduct toward my pet. Records show staff provided conflicting explanations about my dog's behavior and condition. At times, I was told my dog was "great overnight," while at other times staff described him as "grumpy," "snappy," "overstimulated," or involved in behavioral incidents. There were also discrepancies regarding the cause of my dog's limp and paw injury. These inconsistencies created confusion and concern regarding the accuracy of incident reporting, staff supervision, and the overall handling of my pet. Communications frequently came across as defensive and dismissive of my concerns rather than providing clear, professional, and collaborative updates. I am concerned my dog was unfairly labeled as aggressive while staff simultaneously acknowledged he was placed in overstimulating and crowded environments without access to calmer accommodations. This raises concerns that environmental management and supervision may have contributed to the reported incidents. Additionally, some staff communications became excessive and distressing, feeling accusatory and intimidating rather than compassionate or solution-oriented. As the owner of an adopted pet, I expected consistent, professional care and respectful communication. I respectfully request the following actions: Conduct a formal review of how my pet was managed while in Dogtopia's care. Review staff communication practices and incident reporting procedures for consistency and accuracy. Provide clarification regarding the conflicting explanations concerning my dog's injury and behavior. Ensure fair and professional treatment for all customers and adopted pets, free from bias, intimidation, or unnecessary escalation. Take appropriate corrective actions to improve transparency, accountability, and customer relations moving forward. This complaint is supported by documented text communications from Dogtopia staff describing the incidents, behavioral assessments, injury explanations, and subsequent interactions. I appreciate your time and attention to this matter and request that this complaint be formally documented and reviewed. Sincerely, [Redacted] Supporting Notes From Communications * Staff initially stated there were "no issues," then later reported aggression and overstimulation concerns. * Conflicting explanations were provided regarding the source of my dog's limp and paw injury. * Staff acknowledged the playroom was unusually busy and that calmer rooms were unavailable on certain days. * Repeated behavioral accusations were made while also acknowledging environmental overstimulation and lack of separation options.

After speaking with her briefly, it was evident that she was very knowledgeable based on the questions she asked about the behavior and temperament of our Dog. After discussing some of his behaviors, she offered many training suggestions for him that she would be able to provide during boarding for an additional fee. We never really considered the aspect of training our Dog professionally however, after hearing her explain as to how she could help, we agreed to board him for a few additional days to work on heel, stay and his overall anxiety. After his time spent with her, we immediately felt as if he was a different Dog. She met us on the last day of training and walked us through in detail, everything that she discussed so that we could continue his work at home. She even offered additional lessons at no charge for further maintenance! We would highly recommend Ariel at Midgard K9 Solutions to anyone looking for a boarding solution or any scale of training for their dog. Her prices were reasonable, and we felt as if the level of service received was nothing short of exemplary!

She goes beyond and above to make sure your dog and all family members are fully trained. Ariel is patient, professional, and loves her job, not to mention loving our fur baby like her own. She took our relentless, crazy puppy and made her into the best dog around that has stopped all counter surfing and can stay and heel like a champ. Ariel will work with you to make sure all bad behaviors are addressed and will teach you how to keep up the training on your own. We plan on continuing using Ariel for more advanced training and boarding. Our dog loves her to death too, which is a huge plus. I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone else!

Worst hotel ever…read more The one star is for the friendly customer service. I believe this is the worst hotel I have stayed in, in my adult life. To begin, there was a horrible smell of wet dogs in the lobby upon checking-in. The smell continued into the hallways and into the elevator. The elevator even smelled like dogs (along with a little something one of the dogs left behind). To be fair, it rained earlier that day. However, when I checked into my room, it absolutely reeked of dogs. The inside was dingy and had dog hair everywhere (linen and chair). So much so, there was even dog hair on the wheels of my suitcase. My room door paint was chipped and looked as if it was the original paint. I thought it was just my door but nope, nearly my entire floor had the same issue. The water pressure was great but the water drained incredibly slow, so the tub kept filling up with water during my shower. Bathroom vent cover was filthy and discolored. No USB outlets, awkward electrical outlet placement. Additionally, other in my party had to switch rooms due to missing basic necessities from the room. When looking at other options, the first thing noticed when we turned on the light was a huge bug. The bathroom vents looked the same-dirty and discolored. Needless to say, that room wasn't chosen. However, the rooms seem to be the same-dingy. Final takeaway: the rooms need a complete makeover and update (like adding USB outlets). Since it's a pet-friendly hotel, more consistent and finite cleaning (with an added fragrance) throughout the hotel so you cannot smell the pets. It would have been great to take advantage of the breakfast but given the conditions, we chose not to eat there which was unfortunate since we specifically selected a hotel with that option.
