Large Breeds should avoid! And please don't give them your money if you want to support dog-related businesses that work to decrease the ridiculous stereotyping of breeds
After seeing the vets (LOVE them) at this location and boarding my dog for a weekend a few months ago, I thought it was time to start using the daycare servicesI had sthe behavior evaluation on a few different occasions, but finally made it in this morningI was shocked when I was turned away for evaluation dayI'd been speaking with workers for MONTHS about coming in, why would someone wait till today to tell me my dog would not even get in the door because of his breed (HALF his breed, at that!)? Why would a company who is dog-conscious string me along for months? Why would this same company be dog-racist and stereotype my dog before seeing how dog-social he is? We even passed an employee who remembered him from his boarding weekend and commented on how much of a sweetheart shy guy he was! And tell me why another employee tells me there is a nasty aggressive golden retriever that hasn't been rejectedbut there will be no blacklisting of the goldies?! No, because dogs should be assessed as individuals and not as a breed/race/ethnicityI can't even believe I have to spell this out! "All dogs, including pit bulls, are individualsTreating them as such, providing them with the care, training and supervision they require, and judging them by their actions and not by their DNA or their physical appearance is the best way to ensure that dogs and people can continue to share safe and happy lives together."

want to help the "issue with pit bulls"? Stop rejecting them on breed and get yourself and others to address these ridiculous biases! Needless to say, we will not be coming back here and we are, sadly, even considering canceling with the vet we love only because I know my money will be going towards the facility as a whole:(
