7 Paws A Week

We used to love this place and have spent thousands over the past year. I wish I didn't have to rate it so low, but things seemed to have changed in the past few months. Our lab had been going since he was a puppy. Doesn't have a mean bone in his body—family, friends, and strangers have commented on his sweet disposition. 7 Paws even told us he plays with dogs others won't play with. Needless to say we were surprised when they twice claimed he was aggressive with another dog. He's never displayed ANY aggression and they couldn't say what happened or why. Besides, many times he came home with scabs and it never was a concern of theirs then. There are also no webcams available to the public. It left us questioning the staff's level of training and the level of supervision overall. After the second "incident", with no previous warning, we got two differing stories from different workers on what to expect for any future visit. I wish I could say this was the first time we received mixed messages. We reached out twice for clarification—no response. I was shocked when I next picked him up and found he was in a room the size of a closet for the whole visit. He was crying, desperate to go outside and do his business, and based on how much water he needed was very dehydrated. If they replied with clear details and he was clearly in the wrong, I'd be calling our trainer to work on the issue. But no communication leaves me wondering if there isn't a good explanation. After that last visit I worry they just don't care. I guess we'll find another place that does.

I just adopted a 14-week-old puppy who I adore, but it is so bitterly cold and snowy out that there is no way I can safely walk him. That’s why 7 Paws a Week has been a Godsend! There is no way I would be able to provide my puppy the same outlet for energy and socialization that they do, especially in such frigid weather. When we arrive he is so excited and happy. When I bring him home he is exhausted and sleeps happily (see photo). As a bonus, his socialization and self-confidence have grown considerably. One of my favorite parts is checking their Facebook page during the day to see photos and videos of the dogs having a blast. The staff is friendly and I can tell they all love the dogs there.

You can tell this place is great when my dogs are just as happy to be boarded there as they are when they're picked up.

My puppy loves it runs him around until all energy is gone. Perfect for a 8 month old Rottweiler puppy. When he comes home tired all played out.

Do not take your dogs here!!! I took my English bulldog here in 2022. She kept on getting injuries after injuries. There’s no cameras, and I asked the staff how she kept on getting injuries and they didn’t know. I guess they don’t really watch them??
