NEVER take your dog to "Man's Best Friend"
Bailey (my 18-month old black lab) stayed during the Christmas holidays at the Grand Prairie Man's Best Friend kennel/training facility. The mere fact that they had room at the last min. should have been a red flag to me - but I took him there anyway since I was rushed for a solution. 1st off, they lost our reservation for Bailey. 2nd, They have tons of rules, things to sign off on (more than I've ever seen for any kennel - and I've seen lots) and most of the area is not allowed to enter for pet owners - THAT worried me also. Then when I come to pick him up 5 days later, they can't find him. I'm not allowed to go back into the facility to help search either - now I'm really fucking freaking out. When they DO find him and bring him out, he's coughing, shaking and has no energy. I ask if a vet examined him - they tell me there IS NO VET. SO I ask questions (while I become more angry), they tell me he 'looks fine' and whatever he has 'he didn't pick it up at there place' (yeah right). In fact, they told me to give him cough syrup and forget about it.... NOW my dog's on deaths' door and I'm ready to sue the living fuck out of these bastard evil people.
NEVER take your dog to Man's Best Friend kennels for boarding or training NEVER EVER... They don't give a SHIT about animals - just money.

I have heard bad things about that place. My best friend spent several thousand dollars having her dog trained there and she said he is only marginally better behaved than he was before. She was not impressed. Maybe we should tell Mr. Lamb at WBAP that Frisco and Lacy aren't as well cared for as he thinks they are.
Poor poor Bailey. I hate leaving Jackson at the kennel and probably never will again. He's too old now and I think it might do him in. Glad Bailey's alive though DM.
