K-9 Korner Inc

"I live in clarks summit and work down by wilkes barre. Looked at company site before bringing my dog down to daycare. When we arrived they would not take my 6.5 year old golden retriever who is up to date on all shots, fixed, has been to other daycares, and passed his therapy dog exam. They said he needed a scheduled appointment before they could let him in. Which is not listed on there website. So i had to drive all the way back home before going to work. Only reason for 1 star for respectful staff"

"Kathy takes great care of the animals who come here . The staff is very caring and understanding that all the pups have individual needs . Clean and does not smell ."

"K9 Korner has been great with my difficult dog. It's such a sense of relief that I have a place that my dog enjoys going to and is well taken care of when we are out of town. They have also been really good with grooming him and accommodating his behavioral needs. I am very thankful for K9 Korner."

"I have been taking my dogs for over 11yrs and would not take them anywhere else. Kathy and staff are great and I’m very comfortable with them caring for my pets"

"Leave K9 Korner Inc NOW! Following a change in ownership from Karen and Paul Price to Kathy Petriga, K9 Korner Inc Dog Daycare and Boarding facility is no no longer the crown jewel private daycare and boarding facility it had been for the last twenty five years, under the Prices care. With Petriga, the business is no longer a private facility. Formerly, services were offered only to K9’s TRAINING CLIENTS, a perk which ensured EVERY dog was professionally screened and socialized into the packs. This is no longer so, and has certainly come at a dire cost for me. Kathy puts on a great show for you, but she is clearly out of her league with this business. I should have red flagged it when she never opened her front door when businesses reopened. Nothing like using a pandemic to hide what you don’t want customers to see! Kathy deceitfully advertises that she still only accepts dogs trained by K9 Korner Training, a separate business, run by the former owners of the kennel. That she NEVER bothered to inform long standing clients that she was changing policy to openly board to the public, enrages me. I would have pulled my dogs immediately had I known this fact. As a client of over 13 years, I am confident that my ability to assess Ms. Petriga’s ability to run her kennel safely and with the quality of care and standard of excellence with which the Prices excelled for over 25 years is demonstrated in my photos attached. My 4 month old puppy was attacked, allegedly while sitting against a chain link run, by an older dog who was on his second day as a guest to the facility, a dog that surely should have been far from the young puppies. Apparently, my pup’s ear found it’s way into this dog’s mouth, and he literally tore an inch off the bottom of that ear, right through the fence. I received a call first saying my pup was in a scuffle while in the run, whom Ms. Petriga later claimed was a 2 or 3 year year old Boxer mix, that he lost part of his ear, and was on his way to the Vet for Emergency care. Puppies are always separated from older dogs, but I was upset, so I let it go for the moment. Several texts revealed that my puppy’s ear was torn off, marking a permanent deformity in my pure bred English Labrador puppy. Ms. Petriga did foot the bill for this emergency care, but was also sure to collect the $30 daycare charge for my Golden Retriever when my husband picked him up. Classy. Petriga refused to reveal to us the identity of the owners of the dog that attacked, as we needed to confirm vet records. In fact, she refused to acknowledge that it was an attack at all. My pup’s ear was given to me in a Zip Lock. We asked for just a picture of the dog. This was also a hard no. Following several intense phone calls with my husband, she provided the name of the dog, owners last name and the vet. We called. This is when we learn the dog was a one year old Pit Mix, quite a contrast from the 2 or 3 year old Boxer. I will never understand why Ms. Petriga chose to adamantly protect the identity of this dog and it’s owners who she knew for two days over us, who were loyal patrons of this kennel for over 13 years, utilizing both daycare and boarding on a weekly basis for two dogs, happily paying K9’s higher rates for what had always been, until Petriga, superb care for my dogs. My pup NEVER should have been that close to an unknown, older, bigger dog. A dog that never would have been allowed into this kennel under original agreements. I understand accidents happen. This was a BRUTAL ATTACK. Period. Ms. Petriga refused any accountability, protected, with gusto, the aggressor, never had the decency or compassion to call and ask me how he was. Rather, she had the gall to ask me to put myself in THEIR SHOES. We loved K9 Korner for many years. I am saddened to see this business sink to this pathetic level. Save yourself the heartache. More dogs will get hurt under this watch. It is an outright SHAME that Ms. Petriga is riding on the coattails of the Prices’ reputation of decades of quality, painstaking work and driving it into the ground."
