"Both of our dogs love day camp and are so tired from running on the treadmill. The staff is awesome & the facility is great. Having our older dog in a small group setting is where he thrives! Also, we are obsessed with their constant posting on Instagram & the “report cards” for each dog daily! It’s nice to see what they’re doing while we are at work!"
