Lifesavers!! We needed somewhere to take our dogs while on vacation in Kansas City, MO after checking out of the Airbnb, so we can do more exploring for the day. I was able to make an account and upload my dogs shot records easily. Making an appointment online and having it was confirmed was quick and easy. The staff were so friendly and nice and my dogs really enjoyed themselves while here. We were sent report cards on our dogs' day with a lot of cute pictures. They were so happy when I picked them up.

I am a veteran of the 7th ID and several other patches. It was awesome to see uniforms, weapons, and gear that the WW1 soldiers used. The museum was very organized and interesting. I was in the area on a business trip and wished I had more time to spend at the museum and tower. I spent about two hours at the museum and a half hour at the tower. I would go back to view more videos and read more about the exhibits.
