Had a dog boarded the s few years ago. Was very impressed with knowledge. Was kind enough to tell me not to groom the dog ad they would be outside playing in & out of pond. Recently I took a foster dog to be accessed was good to know that dog needed more socialization before taking to event. Top Notch

I really wanted to love this place because the concept is great. My dogs love to run free and swim, so this was a great find for their likes while were away. However, upon picking up my dogs, one was completely raw with bloody scabs from his chin down his neck. I was able to heal that irritation at home though so it is fine. The other dog, had two large wounds on his left ear.
One of which was a deep puncture wound that had slightly healed over by the time I got him. I took him home and cleaned him hoping that I could get him healed. Each day it became a little more tender and more swollen so I took him to our vet where they found that it was a puncture wound that got infected and healed over the infection creating an abscess. $230 dollars later, he is on two types of antibiotics and ointments and is starting to heal and we hope that he doesn't end up needing surgery.
I called this establishment to let them know what happened and to try to get answers and to be reimbursed for the cost of the vet seeing as he was injured in their care and it became infected in their care. They do not plan to reimburse me because I waited a week to call them. They claim I should have brought him back for them to care for the wounds, even though he was wounded their and they didn't care for it and allowed a nasty infection to form.
They claim either my other dog did it or he "ran into a tree", and also said that he was not injured there. Needless to say, proceed with caution with taking your animals here. If you do, make sure you do an entire body examine on your dog before you leave the driveway or else you'll be responsible for paying the vet bills for someone else's negligence.

My dog and I both love Canine Cottage. He gets the opportunity to run and play freely and I feel confident that he is getting the best care available. It's worth the drive to know that he is safe and well-cared for. Plus, he sleeps for 2 days when he gets home because he is worn out! I couldn't recommend them more!

We've boarded our dog Ginger several times at canine cottage. I can't say enough great things about this place! The best way to give an honest review is to say how excited Ginger gets every time she goes there. She absolutely loves it! She loves it so much that she whimpers a little when we start driving away after picking her up! Canine Cottage is the only place I will ever trust 100%

We've been taking our dogs to Canine Cottage for six years and have always been pleased. Our dogs even get excited when we mention going there. The boarding costs are reasonable and they have been able to provide last-minute boarding reservations several times over the years. I would recommend them to anyone looking for dog boarding or training.
