Dog Daze

We used Dog Daze for in home boarding and its been the best decision we've made to help take the stress off of vacations and caring for our dog. Andrew was prompt, polite, professional, and patient with getting our anxious dog to warm up to him. He was gracious with sending us a quick update with pictures.

I had very high hopes for this place but was disappointed. We boarded our dog for 10 days, whenever my father picked up our dog they didn’t give any kind of report on how she did; just told him she was fine. They also sent home a good bit of food (which we packed enough for 3 meals a day for 10 days). When we got home we quickly realized she was in heat (her first time she’s 8 months old), I called to see if anything weird happened or if they noticed anything about her there and the lady wasn’t very compassionate and said “well your dog is probably in heat” which I responded yes I know but I was trying to see when it started. Then the lady on the phone said “well she did have a few accidents in her kennel”.. and I’m wondering why that wasn’t expressed when I picked her up. We also tried to add on to her stay online, like a pup cup, brain boost, and to pay for picture updates of her…. they said she got a pup cup but we never received a picture and she didn’t get the brain boost. Our dog now has started coughing, which we plan to call them Monday to let them know. Our dog is also now very sensitive with her mouth, eating very slow and weird, not biting things like she usually does, she loves ice and can barely chew it right now. Overall just wish there was better communication about how my dog’s stay was, I feel as if she didn’t get the attention needed if the lady couldn’t tell me that her heat cycle started while she was there. It gives me a lot of anxiety boarding her going forward. We paid $400 for 10 days.

I have been taking my pup to Dog Daze For 3 1/2 years and I could not be more delighted. The management team and staff are kind gracious and completely engaged with all of their clients. Staff know his name and personality of every single pup and I could not be more thrilled. My signal that all is right at Dog Daze Is when my Heads for the front door the minute we get there. She is so excited to see everyone. Dog Daze raises the bar and keeps it there. I am grateful every day for Dog Daze.

I received such wonderful and useful house training information regarding my 3-4 year old female boxer. She was given to me in October w/o any medical records and limited house training. She's very obedient and only has over night incidents. I was advised some at home techniques to try and if unsuccessful, then zi can reach out to my vet for any bladder issues as well as Dog Daze. Other places just quoted me both obedient and training coss w/o even discussing at home solutions first.

Dog Daze is a fantastic, small-business. My 5 year old German shepherd, Caesar, had anxiety after I rescued him. My vet recommended Dog Daze for training and daycare, so I decided to give them a try. After attending Dog Daze, Caesar has become more confident and sure of himself. Being able to socialize with other dogs is a blessing, especially since he does not have another dog in his household. The Dog Daze staff are kind, communicative, and passionate about what they do. If you are in the market for dog daycare, boarding, or training, Dog Daze is the best in Columbia!
