I left my little dog for a month due to vacation and they returned her to me a complete disaster, a schnauzer that now looks like a rat, with no eyebrows and no beard. I dropped her off in her travel crate and they gave her back to me with nothing, hurt with a wooden splinter in one of her paws that hurts at the slightest touch. In short, I do not recommend it at all; I feel that, for a first time, it was an unpleasant experience. I will never leave her there again because I believe they are not suited for small or delicate dogs.

I'm not really sure how to rate this dog boarding facility. I'm happy with how they treated me and the communication (they were always in touch with me and sending videos), but honestly, I don't know what quality of care my dog actually received. He came back very thin, with moderate liquid diarrhea, and feeling very down. I don't know if this series of issues was just a coincidence or if my dog simply didn't adjust well (he has a very nervous temperament), but I think they could have at least informed me about the diarrhea and noticed that his spine and ribs were sticking out (and he is already a lean breed to begin with). They also told me that my dog bit a caretaker when they tried to pick him up, even though he has never bitten anyone and is super friendly with people. I don't know what to think either, because I don't believe a dog bites without a reason. In conclusion, I'm not entirely dissatisfied, but I don't think dogs receive dedicated attention tailored to their needs here, just general care. ————————————- Replying to the response they gave me (which I didn't see at the time), here is an update on what happened: I had to take my dog to the vet and they had to prescribe medication because he had severe diarrhea and was still very skinny. And although I can't say for sure what happened there with the staff, my dog came home terrified of being touched; he would duck his head every time I came close. I didn't think much of it at the time because my experience with dogs was very limited since I had never owned one, but it is clear that this reaction is not normal for him or any dog. That being said, I have never taken him back.

Personally, I didn't like it at all. Everything was full of mud and water; every time I went, there was a different dog limping or something else wrong. The patio doors were half-broken, and the fences were broken and chewed on by the dogs (understandably so). The workers looked like bankrupt bricklayers; it's deplorable, I do not recommend it. My pets came out wet, covered in a lot of mud, one with worms, and very thin. Hygiene: 0. I went with family members to look from the outside, and in the back they had piles of bags, bed frames in poor condition, and wet mattresses left out in the elements in terrible shape. I spoke with the nearby neighbors and they told me they heard loud shouting every day, and someone mentioned that sticks and other things sometimes flew across the grounds, who knows what else happens or what else I should tell. My experience with these people was dreadful. Poor little animals, I wonder how they cope there. Mine are now at another place with green areas, sleeping with heating, good rooms, and proper care.

I have been bringing my dog here since he was 3 months old. My trust was always fully and completely placed in David. Suddenly, without warning, they close the physical location, but tell you that they will still take your dog... 20 days before needing their services, I texted him and we agreed on dates, schedules, and times... The day arrives and I go to the location at 7:30 am as agreed to drop off my dog, just like I had always done... 1 hour later after insisting, David finally answers, surprising me with the news that they were closed in Madrid and that I was out of the loop! But how was I supposed to know if he didn't tell me and we had formally agreed on bringing him my dog (I even forwarded him the conversation)?... I had to travel that day and he knew it! In the end, I had to take my dog on the trip with me, and fortunately, I found a dog boarding place that was beyond incredible, with a huge mountain space and 24/7 care. I left him there for the whole week I had to be away for work; they listened to my urgency and need since the hotel I booked didn't allow pets and I was traveling for business... I was able to solve it at the last minute, but David put me in a bind and a complicated situation. It seemed very unprofessional and showed a huge lack of care on his part, especially since I was already a regular customer (and even if I wasn't)... I will NEVER go back, he lost a customer! I have found more dog daycares and every day there are more and better options... I do NOT recommend it, he leaves you stranded! If you can choose another option—and there are plenty—do it.

Because of my new job, I had to find a daycare for my husky puppy. He is not the kind of dog that should be cooped up between four walls, and out of all the options I saw, I think I made a great choice. What convinces me the most is the price per night, since in Madrid city they charge abusive rates between 30 and 50 euros per night. Jaska, my husky, deserved to be out in open fields, playing with other dogs and having fun while I work; in the summer it was the ideal boarding facility for him since Manzanares is cooler than Madrid, featuring a pool and plenty of room to run all over the property. Whenever I could, David allowed me to visit my dog and take him for a walk around the reservoir. With so many furry friends around, it's completely normal that keeping everything under control can be complicated for him and the other staff. Regarding meals, I can understand that his stool might be a bit looser when he gets back home, and it's also understandable that sticking to the exact feeding schedule we keep is difficult, but after a few days his stool goes back to normal. Another plus: my dog is in great shape from all the activity. I fully understand that neutering is best for them; I can easily imagine that nobody wants to find their female dog pregnant or see male dogs drawing blood due to testosterone, hormones, and territorial disputes. In fact, my neighbors recommended neutering my dog so he can make more friends and socialize better. I also don't think it makes sense to send toys to daycare to keep the dog happy; on the contrary, dogs want each other's toys and that can trigger violent fights. It would also be good for owners to take their pets to trainers from an early age so they learn rules, shed their nervousness, and learn how to socialize with other breeds early on; otherwise, a daycare is not the ideal place to leave a dog. Whenever he could, David kindly sent me videos of Jaska having fun. Whether you are driving out to the daycare or having them pick up and drop off your dog, it's always best to let him know a day in advance or a couple of hours ahead on the same day. It's understandable that with so much work he might forget things, but he always responds with great respect. If an item belonging to my dog gets lost, I understand and just buy it again (not that I'm rich or a millionaire, but I try to understand his job). To top it off, whether I drive him there myself—he recognizes the daycare from afar and pulls me toward it because he loves the place—or they come pick him up, he sits happily waiting for the van and hops right in without even looking back to say goodbye. That clearly shows he has a wonderful time there.
