The Dog Spot LLC

"First of all we do not recommend owners stay with their pets while grooming as it detracts their attention and makes it harder on the groomer same as the vet says wait in the lobby or trainers says leave them here and pick up later"

"Every time I pull into The Dog Spot, my dogs get crazy excited. For all those people concerned over their dogs not being fed enough, dogs that go to a new environment often have a reduction in appetite. It's stress of the new environment not abuse."

"So it’s kind of my fault for not checking previous reviews before scheduling an appt. But first of all, the low star reviews show a lot of reasons not to bring your fur babies here. I read them after scheduling because I was getting some “off” vibes. Anyways, my dog has bad separation anxiety, so I called ahead and asked if I could be in there with him (was gonna do it anyways because of the reviews I read). The groomer basically said she wasn’t sure if me being in the room would work, I explained he has his anxiety issues. Paraphrasing of course but she said “dogs usually act out if their owners are here.” (I think the only reason she’d say something like this is if the bad reviews online were to be true). The reviews basically describe neglect/abuse towards the dogs, and how the owners will never go back. PS- this is my experience with this company, I was only drawn in because of the low prices. PLEASE don’t give these people the time of day. August 11th, 2023."

"Out of towners here, not sure what happened. We had our dogs stay with them for 8 days. The owner said they feed the same dog food as we do so we didn't have to bring any and that they would feed them. When I picked up my dogs they both looked starved. My one dog has ribs and back bone showing as pictured. My other lost weight as well but does not look as bad as my other. My dogs scarfed their food and water down and then proceeded to throw up throughout the night. My dogs also act like they have been ABUSED. They cower and run when my husband and I raise our voice a little to talk to one another if we are across the room from each other. They also cower if we try to pet them on the head (especially while they are feeding) I am not sure what happened but I WILL NOT ever bring my dogs here again. I recommend others to do the same. I feel terrible for leaving my animals here."

"I normally come here because the price is so affordable, but during our Last visit, I’m not sure what happened. We came here to board our doggies for our wedding weekend. I filled 2 bags of dog food for both of my dogs, 2 cups per morning, 2 cups per night, I even equaled the bag out to what they would need for 3 days 2 nights with instructions on their feeding situation. When we came back 2 days later, the bags looked like they were not touched at all. Still FULL. I have a feeling our dogs were not fed during their stay at The Dog Spot. Now, I’m not sure if there was miscommunication with everyone working there, but they were seriously so hungry, when we finally got back home (Boise) we fed them 4 cups each and they scuffed it down like no tomorrow. My dogs also seemed like they haven’t gotten water because when we arrived and he brought our dogs out, usually they’re so happy to see us but they were only wanting to drink the bucket of water they had set aside. On the ride home my dogs were panting like I’ve never seen before And when we got home they almost drank all of their water. Not so sure I’ll be bringing my dogs back to this establishment, the owners are super nice but I’m not so sure they need to be running this business any longer."
