I’m so grateful for K9 Resorts in Bethlehem. My pup spent over 2 years in a shelter before I adopted her. Although she was in the best shelter possible, the stress of such a life creates a deep imprint. Six months post adoption after being in a cocoon with just me as a single caregiver, I thought it would be a good idea for her to be socialized with other humans, plus I wanted a plan in case I would want/need to travel or have an emergency.
I am so grateful K9 resorts offer an option for dogs who aren’t the greatest with other canines without a “guilly” door in shelter lingo. For a dog like mine and my situation as a solo caregiver with no friend/family boarding options, K9 Resorts Bethlehem provided a solution for both of us. They have gone out of their way to make her feel loved and to assure me that they love her.
During one boarding stay, I was an ocean away when she needed to be taken to the animal hospital due to stress, and they kept me up-to-date and sent me extra pictures and basically did everything they could to make sure that she was safe, healthy, and happy. They were very upfront and communicative about the cost of the hospital visit and I knew my dog’s health was the top priority for all. The stress is just a part of her internal makeup and we added some steps for future visits to make sure it doesn’t happen again. When she was released from the hospital, K9 Resorts made sure she was in the best room for her needs, pupgrading her to a quiet, single room.
I’m always so impressed at pickup and drop off with how well staffed they are and seamless the process is! I rave to every dog owner I know about how wonderful K9 Resorts is!
