Imagine you have a 3yr old. Your searching for daycares he/she can attend. After extensive on-line…read moreresearch and reading reviews, you settle on a place Paws in Play. You make the appt for the live interview, to see if your 3yr old dog is a good fit for the daycare and if the daycare is good fit for your 3yr old dog. You walk in and everything looks ok. Your stopped at the front desk. The play area where your 3yr old will spend all of his days cannot be seen. After all your questions are answered and your feeling comfortable leaving your 3yr old at the daycare, you ask what you think would be a common question. When can I set up a time to view the area where my 3yr old will be for the next 8hrs, 3x per day? The area I'm paying for? You're then directed to go online and look at Facebook pics of the area.... I did that, but seeing the Statue of Liberty on a Facebook post is not quite the same as seeing her in person. And personally I'm just not comfortable leaving my 3yr old in a place that will not allow anyone EVER to see the space they are paying for. Suspect. Paws in Play has a policy that no owner can view the play area, EVER. Not off-peak time, not at closing, not before opening, not even Holidays. All of which I offered as possible viewing times. Suspect. Why you ask? They say to protect the dogs. Ok. Why do the dogs need protection from Humans? Paws in Play interview their dogs. I assume the dogs they accept are socialized to interact with not only each other but other humans? I wouldn't take my dog to a dog park if I knew he bit other dogs or humans. Ok policy is policy. I asked the owner if he would be willing to call me at a time where there are NO dogs at the daycare for me to view the space. And he still refused. Referred me to Facebook. Suspect. This policy and the owners refusal to accommodate what I believe is a reasonable request, while still honoring the spirit of the policy got me way too suspicious about what was back there in the play area where my dog would be. The possible condition of the area. I couldn't in good conscious leave my 3yr old at Area 51. Suspect. I would caution anyone who is thinking about Paws in Play. Anyone considering this daycare for their loved one would have to answer the question. How could you trust a daycare that forbids you to EVER see the space in person that 1. You are paying for. 2. That your leaving your loved one for days and hours. Are we putting our loved ones in Fort Knox? What is so bad back there that you don't want anyone to see? Suspect. As a business owner myself, I shared with the owner that I had called 6 other daycares just to see if this policy was common in that line of business. What I found? All 6 understood not letting the public in the area when there are a "ton" of dogs. But to not EVER be able to tour the facility? Even after hours "sounded weird". The owner harshly replied "I don't care what other people think" And from that reply it also appears that Paws in Play struggles with professionalism as well. Suspect. Sorry, I just don't trust Paws in Play. My dog is my child. I could never leave him in a space that the owner is adamant with me NEVER seeing.. Suspect.

We have brought our dog once for daycare, and once for an overnight…read more The first red flag was the secrecy about the facilities. We were told when we called for our first daycare that we'd get a tour, but upon dropping our dog off we were told they don't do tours. Why? What is Paws in Play hiding? Daycare itself is fine. Our dog came back stinking, which isn't completely unexpected from daycare, but it isn't practical for us to use this place 2-3 times a week, because after a long day of work, the last thing we want to do is give our dog a bath. Our overnight experience was terrible. When I picked the dog up the staff member handed me his food bag, which was still nearly half full. I just expected them to say he was too busy/distracted/anxious to eat. But oh no, the staff member decided to lecture me about how I have provided far too much food and how I am overfeeding my dog. She condescendingly told me that he was overweight "chunky" and if I cared about him, I'd feed him an appropriate amount. Excuse me? What school gave you a veterinarian degree? Our dog is not only on-track according to growth charts, but we measure his food per our vet recommendations. He's a bulldog, those are rolls of skin, not fat! He's built differently. While I can 100% appreciate Paws In Play's attempt to care for my dog and "advocate" for his health, they were out of line. The appropriate thing to do would have been to follow our guidelines (especially since it was just a one-night boarding), and then politely make suggestions when we picked him up. This was our dogs first time doing an overnight, it was NOT the time to withhold his normal amount of food. He was probably anxious and confused just by being there; Paws In Play didn't need to create a scenario where he was potentially hungry too. Bottom line, they tried to come from an okay place, but their execution and attitude wasn't okay. I would only use this place in a pinch, when all other options weren't available (assuming they let us back after this review). Edit: I highly recommend Wetnoze Pet Concierge in Randolph. Tell them Kendra M. (Chalupa's Mom) sent you!

She said yes he was more difficult when we got to the topnever mention that he was trying to bite her. This is what the owner said. I found it hard to believe they couldn't handle a 7 pound cat. The customer service skills are have left such a shame. Anyway, I'll never go back as I was a regular with my other and I will inform all my friends and family. Also not to go there. It's my only recourse. All I want was an apology and an to redo them which I wouldn't and went back anyway it's the principal of it all all that for $100 unbelievably pathetic customer service issue

My husband and I and our buddy Suse (boxer) had just recently lost our buddy Jake (boxer) of 8.5…read moreyears, totally unexpected. We were heart broken. So we grieved and then started a search for a new buddy. After a long and arduous search we came across Soares Farm Kennel on the Breeders Club website. We decided we wanted the last puppy he had from a litter of English Bulldogs. So Suse and I started out from Leeds Maine at 2:30 PM on a very cold day to get supplies, car harness, collar, chew toys, etc... picked my husband up at work at 4:30 and headed for a 3 hour trip to South Easton, MA. We were anxious to say the least. We had read reviews, some good, some bad. When we arrived we called Kurt and he came out to meet us. Very nice home and very nice person. He lives at end of road with a very large plot of land. There is a very long dirt drive way to kennels that is all gated off and locked. The kennel was a well built building like a home with windows etc... I stayed in the car with Suse while he took my husband in to get the puppy. When they returned with the healthiest little fat bulldog I was relieved. Kurt gave us the rest of the bag of puppy food to help with the transition to the food we feed Suse who has major allergies. He also told us about some holistic medicine that helps with the antibodies that Suse is missing and probably the reason for allergies. He had been through all the shots and such which did not work and Kurt said he tries to do the holistic approach. A man after our own hearts for we are very "Organic" folks. On the ride home Craig proceeded to tell me how clean the kennels were and not smelly and nice and heated and very well maintained. It has not been 24 hours but so far this little guy did the 3.5 hr ride home and slept through the night and is very well adjusted. Not timid or any separation anxiety. So I believe the dogs are very well cared for. Lets face it breeding is no different then farming or raising of any animal, there are good farms and there are badly cared for ones. This dog "farm" is a great one! Who knows we may go back for another little buddy. Welcome to your "furever" home Stig!
