I have a cat and a dog. Our cat is getting older in years. Since she was a rescue we don't know exactly how old, but estimate her to be around 9.
When we go away we usually hire a service, Poop, Scoop and Sit, to care for our pets. Lately our cat has become aggressive to our dog. Our vet recommended a kennel for the dog.
I was so hesitant about placing him in there, but our vet, whom I trust, recommended them. I placed him in All Star Kennels and Poop, Scoop came to the house for the cat.
When we got home our cat was fine as always. She gets really great care from the girls at the service we use.
On the other hand, when I picked up the dog, they told me he got "cut" on his paw. They said it happened 6 days ago and they put Neosporin and liquid bandage on it. I looked at the pad on his paw and saw alot of glue on it and what appeared to be a slash.
The next night, I heard him stirring in his crate and went down to check on him. I looked at his paw; he licked all of the liquid bandage off and I could see it wasn't a scratch, but a puncture wound in his pad.
The next morning I brought him to the vet. He had a fever and an infection in his paw. $347.00 later we left the office.
The kennel refused to pay the vet bill.
When I dropped him off I signed a release that if anything happens they are to bring him to the vet. Obviously, they didn't. They said he cut his paw on the kennel fence.
I will never leave my dog in kennel again. I will have to make arrangements to have both animals cared for in my home. Hopefully, I can find a way to separate them successfully.
