"I bring my pup Roen to Breed Above 3-5 times a month to have a ‘play day’ with other dogs and she seems to love it. The staff are very kind and make me feel confident that she is safe and treated well - they often greet her by name and she runs right up to them to go out back and play. Very reasonable cost. I like that they are hardcore about making sure everyone is up to date on vaccines and health stuff - great place for dog day stay!"

"Nothing gets my dogs more excited than that get when we ask them if they want to see their friends at BreedAbove. We've been taking our dogs here for nearly 12 years now because they show us over and over again how much they care about our goofy mutts. Recently Amos, our ridgeback mix, had a health emergency while we were out of town. The staff took care of him with love, compassion and kindness, and then showed us that same compassion. We are forever grateful."

"My Husky is so happy at Breed Above on the 2-3 days / week I bring him into play in their DayStay play program!! I recently boarded him as well for eight nights and it was great that he had activities and sleep in a comfortable, welcoming area -perfect for his size. Thanks to all the wonderful staff (on site 24x7) for helping ease my work life balance and my dog a happy boy! Very clean, caring, and accommodating! His bath and nail trim rounded out his vacation!"

"I’m saddened to share this experience, but feel it is necessary to keep our dogs safe. My 10 month old puppy was under the care of Breed Above for the day, recently, and when I picked him up, the staff handed me this piece of metal with my dogs microchip and ID tags hanging from it. I asked how this could have happened and got “oh, he must have gotten caught in something” to “I wasn’t personally here this morning so I don’t know what happened” and “he’s not supposed to have his collar on, so I don’t know what happened”. After thinking about it, I realized that this had to have been done by a human. They either ripped the tags off while my dog was wearing his collar, or a person took my dogs collar off and damaged it that way. Either way, it’s disturbing. He was smelly, dirty, and anxious after I picked him up. He was starving and thirsty-they didn’t feed him the food I brought. I thought it was strange when I checked the webcams and noticed around 70 dogs, some inside a playpen and some outside. It was raining, but they were bombarded with dogs without a staff member in sight. My gut told me that the story about the tag ring wasn’t adding up and I was sure someone would follow up to see how my dog was doing. He had diarrhea for 36 hours from the stress of being at Breed Above and nobody took the time to check in with us or offer to make the situation right somehow."

"Breed Above has been great for our puppy, Hutch. He started day camp at 16 weeks. He is now 8 months old. He goes to day camp twice a week & has boarded once for a week. He loves it & always needs a “boot scoot” to get him to leave the building. I believe going to Breed Above has helped socialize Hutch & tire him out!"
