my dog suffering while boarding at petshop Can't Post

i have to spend 1 month time to accompany my husband at dubai.. he is working there..

then of course my dog have to boarding at petshop.. actually there is a grooming shop.. at equine park, sri kembangan there..

boarding 1 month there, of course i think this shop is the best place to stay, because the boss there quite nice.. my dog got boarding there before for few times, but each time just 2 to 4 days experience..

but.. this time, just 1 week boarding there, she called me.. she said my dog cough and throat pain.. oh my god.. why my dog suddenly got sicked.. then she said can help me take him to vet.. after vet, vet said throat pain caused of pulling him by collar leash too hard, n get injured!!! wah, everyday i taking him out pee poo with the leash for 2 years already, also nothing problem.. n he is always so healthy.. now just staying 1 week there then got throat pain n injured.. so weird.. the vet said, might be pulling too hard on his neck, but it just happened while boarding there, so who did itMad? the boss there told me before that she got take him out for pee poo, and her shop is at upstairs, and my dog very scared to climb and get dowm from stairs.. so who did itMad? and what happened there? and asked me to buy a new harness for him, cost again..

i'm so angry.. i asked my best friend check it out and take my dog home.. and found that, whole 4 legs, ass part all injured.. the injured part, red and bengkak... who did itMad? my dog get injured, why not tell me earlier? and only told me when my friend come to take him home.. the boss told me just the enviroment caused it, no problem one.. but my best friend checked it and found that is skin problem.. might be cause of dirty.. the cage is dirty.. my god... a healthy and clean dog, after boarding 2 weeks there, and got skin problem and injured.. my god.. luckily my best friend helped me.. if not, i really not dare to think when i take my dog home after 1 month boarding there..

my best friend said, the boss there just feed him once a day, and just feed little.. because wanna diet my dog, i knew it, but i agreed that can feed less, but keep it for 2 times a day, as usual i feed at home.. but she didn'tMad

now my best friend helping me take care my dog at my house.. taking him walk walk, feed him, and also vaccum and clean my house.. i feel more secure that my dog can living good at home now.. pay for suffering at there, better i pay for my best friend at home..

still many parts of the legs and ass get injured, but here just allowed me upload few photo.. ai.. pity la, my dog..

sigh...sad after reading it...so you've learnt your lesson...next time perhaps you should consider boarding at your friend's place, or if it's troublesome, board it at a vet's place...at least there is always a vet around in case anything happens...Unimpressed

Re: [shalmay] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

poor poor doggie...

actually, if your best friend can take care for you, you better ask your best friend to take care.. you can pay him/her like the petshop rate.. I think if you beg your best friend, he/she will do it for you...

so, don't send your furkid to those petshop for boarding purposes..

by the way, why not we set up a group.. help each other, when you're not around, can send to one of the member; meanwhile when other member is busy, you can help and take care.. Just a suggestion..

Re: [mickey123] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

wow.. you have a very good suggestion

we can really think about it, because we are really worry to send our furkid for boarding when we not around with them.. worry they will get injury, worry they will kena attack by others dog, worry they will get sick or virus there.. and of cause worry the case lhappened like me now..

too bad, i'm still at dubai now.. still can't complaint the grooming shop right now.. but 2 weeks later, when i back to kl, i will print the photo as prove and complaint the boss there.. because i'm too angryMad

Re: [mickey123] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

A very good idea but have you consider, catching parvo, got mated accidentally or other sickness that may lead to death, who will be responsible. If a pet shop you can just not go to them again or just condemn them in the tabloids but if it is within a group of friends........ well it is just going to be very difficult. Secondly, how you percieve is the correct way to treat a dog may be different with another owner as one can see from postings in this forum so another hurdle one needs to lokk at. A very difficult issue.

Re: [PSY] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

hmm.. abit difficult..

but as my case now, i trust my best friend, and she always visited me and my dog, played with him.. so today i can just asked her to take care my dog at my house.. just passed her the house key, also a car key.. and of course, she so familiar my house enviroment.. Cool of course i got think about the sickness or other issue happen when she taking care my dog.. so i contact her very often, and she will let me know when need something or anything happen.. she took my dog back from the grooming shop on that day, of course she also can take my dog to vet when he get sick.. just keep the receipt to claim back with me.. she is my best best friend for 11 years friendship, also a dog lover..

now my dog can stay at home happily and comfortable, and clean.. although me at oversea now..

So sorry to hear of your disaster. The trouble with these boarding homes is that they are only cages, and no walks. I offer a home boarding service so call me anna 0176885443

I, too would suggest what you are doing now, get a good friend to help you out, what ever happens it happen at your house so the chances of nothing is going to happen is good. If you take a step back and look at the scenario as a whole. dogs do not get sick by itself it is usually contributed by us, the owners, left the gate open, pest control did their job and the dogs were let off too soon etc, etc. well just have to take a little more care, anyway take care and have fun.

Re: [PSY] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

yeah... what you'd mention is true.. sigh..

actually, why I come across with this idea is because before I have this lab (now she's 7 months old already.. :)), my neighbour will feed my dog(I have another senior dog) when I'm not around. Then, there was once when I went for out station (for 3 days) and come back early .. when my dog saw me, she's so happy and she got hungry look.. liked 2 days didn't eat any food.. we were sad to find this out.. cause we did prepare food for my dog and let her keep in her house.. so, she could just come over and feed her when she fed her own dog ( she got a 7 year old dog too).. but, I didn't know whether she forgot to feed my dog or what.. but, my dog did suffer when I was away.. so, now will try my best to stay at home.. or leave someone at home when I am away.

well, I don't really agree with you.. cause when I went to Vet for my furkid's vaccination, I saw lots of dog boarding there.. I don't know whether those dogs were sick dog or healthy dog.. but, all of them were kept in the small cage.. some of them cry non-stop, the Vet didn't even go and have a look.. so, boarding at the Vet's place is not reliable too..

my furkid is only 7 months plus.. still very playful and naughty.. but, she's improving everyday. .:) just that still give us headache sometimes. :) by the way, may be next month my uncle from Kelantan is going to give us a 2 year old black female lab.. so, I'll have 2 lab later.. now, I'm a bit worried that my 7 month furkid can't accept new comers.. cause right now she'll attack my another senior dog whenever she goes near us.. she gets jealous easily.. sigh.. hope that when this 2 year old lab come, they can stay together without any problem...

so nice to have 2 labs.. they can play together and won't feel boring.. hmm.. she feels jealous easily maybe she is try to protect herself and you.. haha.. when giving snack or meal, try give to both in same time, i think she won't feel that u sayang other more..

for my fur kid, when he got new friends, he don't want me anymore.. treat me as stranger and will follow his friends away..Crazy

If you choose to be a naughty girl, you'll be locked in the crate.¡¨ Surprisingly, she slept with my mom in the living room for the whole day.. when my mom cough, she'll go to "kiss" her.. like "sayang" her.. hahahah.. my mom said it's so touching.. :) so, she's actually improving everyday.. :)

equine park, sri kembangan here only got 1 vet and 1 grooming shop.. and there are just upstairs and downstairs, so convenience for their business.. but why they can't take care customer's fur kids with love and responsible..

our fur kids are innocent

Re: [shalmay] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi there Shalmay!

Actually, I met your dog who's name is Canon right? The groomer girl was walking him that day when he was boarding with her. No, she never did purposely choke him or anything like that. Canon was kinda like pulling all over the place while we were talking & she was just holding on to him tightly & then asked him to sit (which he did). I know this groomer girl coz I have brought my dogs there a few times already for bathing. We live in Puncak Jalil, quite near to the groomer's place & Baby Pets.

Honestly, dogs being boarded anywhere eventhough being caged or not caged, some will tend to fall sick. Common symptoms are, flu, cough, vomiting, lost of appetite & fever. Some will go home very tired too & will sleep throughout the whole day. The reason, it is just plain stress. The dogs that board at our place are not caged & they are all happy, running around & playing with each other. Eventhough they are happy & having so much fun, they are still stressed up becoz of the different environment & timetable. Some have gone home sick before but none are dead. They still come back for boarding with us becoz the owners understand that the sickness was not purposely caused by us.

When boarding dogs at vets or anywhere else where the dogs will be caged 24/7 or even half a day, these things are to be expected. The cages are uncomfortable as you can see & the cages tend to make the sog's elbows look icky. Sometimes, when caged too long, the legs become weak & wobbly. I know you boarded your dog for about a month right? The groomer told me.

The reason why your dog fell sick was not becoz of the groomer's rough handling. Canon was wearing a soft collar. Even if she did choke him, he would have not gotten a cough. Heck, I jerk my dogs all the time with a choke chain & they're fine. He got sick becoz possibility no.1: He was mixed around with other dogs & one of them was sick & the germs were passed on to him. No.2: He was just so stressed up in a place where he's cage almost 24/7 a day for 1 month & then all these dogs were barking their heads off & making so much noise. There could be many reasons why he got sick. But I feel it was becoz of all the stress than anything else. It has got nothing to do with the groomer's rough handling...

To tell you the truth, being at the vet's, being caged up is very very stressful for the dog. Was this his first time boarding too? If it was, this could have also caused him to fall sick. Stress + depression...

So next time, if you really don't want these things to happen to him again, board him at a place where they don't cage dogs at all. But there's still a 30% chance that he will fall ill again. But it's nothing serious. Sometimes it's not the boarder's fault either if the dogs fall ill. But usually owners will scold the person who's taking care of the dog becoz that person is the one responsible for the dog during that certain duration of boarding.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here. Anyway, I'm sure he's fine now right? It's not a big problem. It's just a small thing...

Re: [Amber.Faith] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

hi amber.faith



oh, u know the groomer? ok.. the world is so small.. u tried to help her explain here..

my dog is not "Canon".. my dog is "Kenneth"

hmm.. i think u made a big mistake..

anyway, u meant that if my dog gets injured during board is the owner and the dog's problem, right?

our fur kids will surely get injured while on board?

their bodies will surely get some sort of problem while on board?

ya.. my big problem was sending my dog to that boarding place..

now, i still in dubai, i will be home on friday.. and i will take my dog to vet for checkup

u said that this is just a small matter... but i'm sure u will be sad if u see my dog..

hmm.. did she tell u that she did not allow my dog to drink water because he pees alot?

did she tell u how hard she pulled my dog up the stairs?

did she tell u that she lied about the time the injury happened?

did she tell u that I wanted my dog to be fed twice a day but only once was given?

did she tell u that she promised me a cage simliar size to the one i have at home?

which was not true.



i know the groomer.. i knew her when kenneth was just a puppy.. that's why i always trusted her..

do u understand how disappointed i am now?

that day i called her, i asked her why my dog s bottom has some red marks. she answered "oh, he got it BEFORE he came here"... but, i'm very sure that my dog didnt have any red sore injuries before i send him for boarding.. then she replied "oh, maybe the cage caused it"..

wah.. this is the way answered me..

i understand u are trying to help her right here.. anyway, i will go to her place to settle this when i back to kl.. Canon or Kenneth.. anyway, maybe u met the wrong person and wrong dog.. i really appreciate that you are trying to help all of us

what would u do if it was your dog?

did u see the photos I uploaded? The injured part was red and fresh.. Mad

Re: [shalmay] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi Shalmay. Sorry if I sound like I was defending her. I'm not actually. Just telling you what usually happens when a dog is being caged up for many hours. Ooops, I didn't see the pictures earlier on. I just saw them. Yes, these are the common scars when dogs are caged. The cage is not very comfortable & it's like bars at the bottom & it's very uncomfortable for the dog. The dog's weight is on it.

By the way, I think I'm talking about the right groomer. This groomer's place is called Upstairs Grooming right? She has a Poodle & a cat that roams free in her grooming place. I can't remember her name actually but anyway, we're not friends or anything like that. On that day when I met her downstairs with Canon/Kenneth, she was not handling him all that hard. But on the other hand, I did not see her coming down & going back up the stairs so I don't know how she handled him. She didn't mention anything about him being scared about the stairs...

Yes, there are care takers who want to control the dog's peeing & pooing problem. We too sometimes control some dogs meals becoz we just have to. As long as the dogs don't go home thinner & as long they've been having fresh water all the time, then that's okay. But the groomer not giving him water is just not right. The dog needs water all throughout the day eventhough they're caged. I understand that she's trying to control his toilet habits but that's too extreme...

I am very sure that those scars were caused by the cage. The groomer should have been responsible for them but maybe she did not notice until you asked? You know lah, she's a busy girl with lots of customers on some days so she did not have time to check your dog's body.

Ofcourse I'll be very pissed if I see my dogs with those scars but then again, I would understand why they got them. It's becoz I allowed her to put my dogs in the cage. I know she will not allow my dogs to roam around freely in her place like her dog & cat & I know my dogs will be in the cage for 24 hours everyday except being let out for a few minutes walk well becoz, this is her way of boarding & I agreed to board my dogs with her. So therefore, it's partly her fault & my fault too for agreeing to board my dogs there when I know things like this will happen. I can't complain too much but I will not be happy if she didn't do anything about my dog's scars. Oh & then our dogs will be mixing around with other dogs. Some may be sick. You'll never know until your dog gets sick too...

We've not once boarded our dogs anywhere becoz we just don't trust anybody not even our friends. You'll never know what could happen with our dogs or what they would do to them.

So anyway, please don't get me wrong. I'm not siding her & she's not my friend. Just telling you that these things are to be expected when dogs being boarded anywhere, caged or not caged. I just hope your dog is okay now & that his scars are healed. Next time, just board at your friend's place if you know & trust that she will do a good job at taking good care of him. But once again, no guarantee that dogs will go home not sick & not injured. Things happen & sometimes, it's not the care takers fault... Maybe the dog caused its own injury or its body gets cut by a thorn & so on. Anything could happen to our dogs.

Re: [Amber.Faith] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

hi, even i'm a newbie here...but i could realized you are defending the dog owner due to you seems be partial to the groomer.

I was not saying that this was the groomer's fault in fully, at least she must take the responsible and do apologize to the dog owner cause she was the one who responsible while in boarding period. But, she was shirk after I read all the posted here.

According your speech, we sent our beloved dog to boarding in healthy condition, but we would expect the sickness in return? It's sound scary... Who will dare to if say so? Isn't those boarding service cant be survive anymore?

I belif you are a dog owner too, so could you be calm when saw your dog was suffering contributed by others? This is common whereby I'm understand how's shalmay feel.

If you didnt saw how's the groomer did to Canon/Kenneth, then shouldn't be a commentator which this sensitive issue should be solve by both themselves ( groomer and the dog owner-shalmay), NOT us. We're just here to give some good advise and encourage each others.

Re: [peachtea] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi peachtea!

Hmmm, I'm a little confused by your reply. I'm not defending the dog owner nor the groomer. I don't know Canon/Kenneth's owner at all & I don' know the groomer well. I just send my dogs there for bath, that's all. And I am giving my piece of advise & that is, board at somewhere else where they don't cage dogs so that her dog will not get all those scars becoz those scars were caused by the cage.

In my previous reply, I said that I'll be very pissed that my dog has those scars or is sick but I will be calm for sure. Ofcourse I will ask the care taker why my dog is like this & like that. If she can tell me a good reason, then okay I understand but if she lies, then ofcourse I get angry but I'm not gonna shout at her or scold her. I'm not like that... I,ll just simply not board my dogs with her ever again.

The others are giving her suggestions so I guess I'm entitled to give my own opinion & suggestions too. Just like someone in this forum always says, this is a public forum so everyone is entitled to give their own opinion. No, this did not come from me... I hope I made it clear so that you won't misunderstand again.

Part of what you said, it's showed that you are explained on behalf of the groomer. But you always mention that you're not siding her. I dun know why you always try to explain but act oppositely, just let's those readers find out the truth themselves.

For sure, everyone are free to give any opinion here. But you also misunderstand wat I meant, shalmay is frustrated of her dog so that release her stress here, but you seem always defending her even you dont know the groomer well.

You just experienced sending your dog to groom there, but do boarding as well? If not, you dont know hows the groomer treat for those beloved was boarding. And from the picture attached, it's seems is a skin problem due to unhygience environment as well as my dog experienced before.

If just a cage matter, those injured part should be in corner of four limb, not in the middle point. The leg part can be seen obviously. Those skin has some flake on the surface, but not bleeding.

And I'm not misunderstand what you trying to point out, so pls dont misunderstand me as well.

Re: [shalmay] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

So sorry to c ur dog's drumstick not yummy anymore. But I'm sure with a little medication he'll be fine by the time u come home. I've visited a few grooming/boarding shops. Some I find is really creepy. Stacks of cages pile together. Sometimes, when we go to these boarding places, it really depends how sincere the person is. Some just want to make money n some just desparate.

I personally find some dog owners themselves r very irresponsible n inconsiderate. Some knowing their dogs have ticks, or distemperment or what so ever still bring their dogs for boarding. N they r like in denial when u tell them abt their dogs condition. So in cases like this, it really depends how professional the boarder wants to be. Some without even checking on the dog condition will just accept. N when u bring ur health dog there, that's when u r open to all these stuff.

But ur dog sores luckily is nothing that serious like getting a viral. Hopefully the boarder will accept the comment openly n try to improve on her boarding service (maybe less cages, so that the dogs hv more space to move). And also volunteer to treat ur dogs sores, that's the least she can do. This is called customer service. Malaysians generally r very poor in this area.

I'm not trying to hard sell, but I usually send my doggies for grooming with this lady, Rachel in Taman Tun. Her place is called Puppy Cottage. So far I have not left my girls for boarding but I've seen the place. She has specially designed cages made of tiles a doggie house and a door. Quite spacious coz only got a few side by side. N she has this big empty airconditioned room. N there r many doggies there, normally there for day care, n they r like all over her shop. And a fence to keep them from going to the main door. Quite a nice place. Rachel is a very nice humble lady to talk to but her partner, Ryan, I think is her husband is not that friendly la.

Re: [peachtea] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

Sigh, once again, I'm not siding her. I may sound like I am but I'm not. I'm just pointing out the truth in boarding dogs at places like that. Better to know now then getting angry again from boarding the dog at another place where they cage dogs. I don't even know groomer well. She's just a groomer who bathes my dogs, that's all!

Anyway, I've given my opinion, my suggestion & advice already & I think I'm done for this post. I just hope that Canon/Kenneth is alright. If it's not all that serious like what lantiserette said like some fungal infection like ringworms or anything like that & it's curable, then okay. We cannot trust anybody sometimes even friends. And once again, doesn't mean when the dog boards at a cage-free place, doesn't mean that they're not stressed up. Okay, enuf said!

i took my dog to see vet this morning, he needs antibiotic and antifungal medicine for 10 days..

the vet met kenneth few times before.. he also feels sad when saw my dog get injured and so skinny.. he feels disappointed that the groomer so irresponsible..

i'm home now.. hope can take good care on my dog.. and hope he can recovered soon..

sound great that the boarding u recommend.. hope our fur kids can stay safety and healthy when we are not around..

luckily i have a best friend, she called kycie.. she is my best friend for 11 years ++ and also a dog lover.. she was helped me to send my dog home from the horrible place, and take care my dog at my house.. she treated my dog as own baby, feeds him, walks with him, plays with him, and vaccum my house too.. haha, she said must give my dog a clean place to lay Smile thanks god!!! if not, i really not dare to imagine how worst my dog onboard at the grooming shop there..

hope the groomer can learned from this case, and try to be a responsible groomer..

fur kid = our kid, our baby, please protect and love them!!! they are innocent!!!

Re: [boco] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

vet said is the unhygienic environment caused it.. when the groomer took him out pee poo(some kind grasses places), and my dog walked/lie down on the pees(the groomer's place).. she never clean it.. i never requested her to take my dog out for walk.. but she told me that she lazy to mop the pees, so she took him out..

slowly and slowly.. the bacterial kena my dog's legs and abdomen.. and got those scar and wound seriously..

my dog is scared of the tiles type of long stairs at her shop.. so, why his neck was injured and cough? sure everyone can guess it..

meant that, the groomer never take care on my dog's hygienic (even she said got bathed my dog)..

the vet praised on my dog before that he got nice smell body and so clean and healthy, a nice body to hug for sleep (before sent my dog onboard, took heartgard injection at the vet there, same vet).. but, the groomer just grumbled that my dog was smelly..

when i complainted with the groomer.. just found that so many excuses and lies.. all things she told me before was totally changed.. last time said feed him once a day, suddenly said got twice a day.. then suddenly said once a day back.. suddenly said that got clean my dog's paws, then suddenly said never clean it.. suddenly said that my dog bite himself (got scar/wound), suddenly said the cage made it.. suddenly said that she did check the wound, suddely didn't.. bla bla bla bla..

after checkup with the 2nd vet now, here the truth..

this case only will be settled once my dog is fully healable..

the groomer is self-employed.. but got one partner too.. the partner is running few petshops in cheras and kl area now.. she is not handling this grooming shop.. only as a shareholder in this grooming shop.. so, the groomer only handling the grooming shop by herself as a groomer there, also stay at the shop.. only one staff, that's her..

complaint with the partner is useless.. because the groomer can lie on me(even we are friend), sure she can lie for others too.. the partner sure siding with the groomer.. because they are partner..

Re: [shalmay] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

Aiyoh. So sick ar?

Sometimes very "susah" also. Places providing boarding services should try to disinfect the place more often to minimize all these skin bacterial infections. Sometimes our furkid is like over protected kids, very prone to fall sick. It's like some of us humans, go for holiday come back got fever la, cough la... like that lor.

Best is to stay home or an environment/people they r used to, then no stress, no disease from other pets. Like my two girls when I go 4 holidays, I ask my friend to take care. Even that, they see her they faster run in the cage n don’t want to pee/poo. Coz don’t know her well enuff. She doesn’t stay with me, so they probably don’t know y she is in the house without me. But if it’s my housemate, then they r ok. But my housemate also gila one. Make my girl runaway n think it’s entertaining coz she knows how to come back. I faster rush back, my blood pressure almost burst!

Shalmay, this groomer so bad customer service one ar? Know u so upset, never offer solution. Only talk 3 talk 4. When I took my girls grooming somewhere near my house, the grooming so lousy, my poodle head out of shape n then got some red rashes from the blunt shaver. I was upset but the groomer knew how to "pujuk" me. Faster give me free ointment, free doggie treats, never argue with me. Faster say sorry to my doggie. "Customer is always right"

mickey123, I think some breed of doggies are very prone to swelling in their paw. I know my friends' Schnauzer and Sheltie always get this swelling. It looks like n insect bite then it swells up like puss. But then again, my friends keep them in the cage most of the time. Maybe it’s from the cage.

luckily my best friend found the scars/wounds on my dog when took my dog from the groomer, and told me that with photos(me at oversea).. if not.. the groomer thought can say 'byebye' goyang goyang and settled.. the groomer thought i will never know it.. Mad

im not just as a customer with the groomer, im her friend for 2 years already.. but she still can lies on friend.. i'm so disappointed..

my best friend is very sayang my dog.. she took my dog out for 2 times a day, feed him enough, plays time with him, accompany him, clean my house, i'm worry free with her love services..

try to mix it with his favourite food... don't let him see you put the medicine in it... once they know it, they wouldn't eat it already...

Re: [Veanne] my dog suffering while boarding at petshop [In reply to] Can't Post

Dear All,

First of all, 1st time read this thread, sad that a lot of people's dogs & pups suffer while boarding.

Anyway, sorry to restart this thread after so long. Need to ask a few questions. Has anyone boarded their dog at St. Angel Puchong before? next to Tesco.

It is a vet & shop. My dog was sick for 2 weeks (flu) after I got him home. He also started to have skin problems ( ie. skin breaks and lesions appears , like lost skins and bleeding. ) I mean all over his body. Taken antobiotics 2 weeks still not healed, that was almost 2 months ago. Now the spots & bumps heals but another appears.

I have yet to bring him to see another doctor. Just want to know if other people have similar sad story when they use St Angel?

You see, I cannot be 100% sure if he got the skin problem from the boarding but i am 100% sure the flu was from there. 5 days there and he stink like hell when I fetch him back. Plus lost weight also. All the other dogs there were medium to large dogs, mine was the only small dog there (pug). I could see he was real scared when I collected him. Could hardly recognize me. Pls let me know ok? Thanks.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear that your dog has gone through a bad experience in St Angels. I have not personally experienced anything from that clinic but my friends have and it is not a good one. I personally do boarding so what I can give you is only a guide on how to choose a boarding place.

When placing a dog at a boarding place there is always a risk that they might catch any disease or sickness from other dogs so the onli way is to make sure that your furkid has got all it's vaccinations updated. Even when taking your dog out for a walk or an outing also there will be a risk. It is always good for you to see tha place of boarding before deciding on choosing the place. Then you can see the cleanliness of the place and also the condition of other dogs there.

Speak to the assistant not the boss or owner over at the boarding place to see whether they take the dogs out for a walk and how often they clean up. This way you will have a better idea on what your dog will be going through.

Personally i think very few vets take the dogs for walks that make the dog traumatised as they are in the cage the whole time and also they get dirty from the faeces and urine they lie on. This applies to pet shops too. Many will promise that they take the dog out for walks a few times day. I just feel that they wouldn't be so free to do that. Another thing you have to check is the ventilation there. Aircon is not good especially when there are many dog as the air circulates in the room and if there is a virus around it will jsut affect every dog. Best is there are exhaust fans and fan blowing the inside air out.

Next time you can try the Dr that i recommend you in Bandar Puteri or can call me Anyway hope this helps you..

Did anyone know any bad experience with boarding at St Angel, Seri Kembangan? My experience on this branch is for their very good vets services to my furkid but I'm not sure about boarding.

My wife and I going for travel for 4 days so I guess I need to get my Uno to a safe place that someone can take good care of him.

Myself also have this kind the bad experience at 2 pet shop at subang jaya area , after came back sure sick , vomit and ticks problem . They were in a bad condition and had to send them to see the Vet. It was so bad till it had cost me abundance of problem .

I really sincere hope that it will not happen again as my baby have to go through such on ordeal. Never again shall i leave my babies to unknown hands anymore. So that's why i decided to establish home boarding to really care for these cute adorable babies may it be yours and anyone else.
