Review

"Four the past several years I have left my four (now three) large dogs at Club Pet for two months at a time three times a year due to my work. I chose this facility after visiting almost a dozen others in the Fairfax County area; I was very pleased with the combination of services and price, and have had no reason to be disappointed since that initial choice. The dogs are always excited to go there, the staff remembers them and greets them by name, and when I get them back they are happy and healthy.

When one of my dogs got a dental abcess, they noticed immediately and called my emergency contact for instructions. When I worried that one dog was too thin, they monitored her meals and she gained the needed amount of weight while she was there. They monitor one dog's nervous habit of licking and biting himself, and report when I pick him up if his coat isn't perfect again yet. If a dog needs medication, they remember to provide it correctly.

I am surprised that two other reviewers said they weren't allowed to look at the kennels. I certainly was, or would not have chosen this as the place to leave my dogs. This is not one of those delusional places where dogs sleep on sofas and wear party hats; it is an older facility, but is as clean as I would ever reasonably expect (I am not new to kennels - I have used commercial kennels all over the world) and when I get my dogs back I am always satisfied with their condition. I would not think of using a different facility."
