It's my Vet's opinion, based on the dogs condition, that the dog was neglected. Additionally, I had given the Village Paw Spa very specific written instructions regarding the dogs care and authorization to coordinate with my Veterinarian if that need should arise. At no time during the two week stay - even when the dogs condition worsened to a point where it was obvious that there was something seriously wrong - did anyone from the Village Paw Spa contact the dogs Veterinarian for advice or treatment...nor did anyone call me to advise me that he was ill. I'm horrified by the care - or more specifically, the lack of care - that these dogs experienced while at the Village Paw Spa. I would not recommend this facility.

I don't have dogs. But I do have cats and I understand your horror at finding your pup was so ill.
I thought that pets could get communicable diseases from another animal or fleas at a place that keeps animals while their owners are away. I don't know how a dog could get sore paws and have them infected unless he was fruitlessing digging at the wire cage with his forepaws because he wanted you.
Do you think that is what happened?
What did they say about this?
