The Boarding and Grooming facility is outstanding. It is the cleanest such facility I have ever seen and the staff is dependable and knowledgeable. Due to the knowledge and sensitivity of the staff, it is the only place where Buddy has ever had his nails trimmed without a struggle. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
