Downtown Dog Lounge

I, too have had a great experience with DDL. My puppy has only been to day care there a few times, and she is already excited to go in once we get there. You can tell that the people working there are very loving and dedicated. They even have web cams so you can see your doggie playing with the other pooches. I will definitely keep taking my Dane puppy there. They provide rest periods after mealtime to decrease risk of bloat, which is reassuring to me. When interacting with the staff, they are consistently approachable, helpful, and professional. Thank you DDL!

So why the great review? Because Downtown Dog Lounge did everything they could to try and make our Truman (Great Dane) comfortable. The people working here are truly dog lovers. They are in constant cleaning motion while talking and petting the animals. Our dog was very stressed and we tried several times to visit and calm him down before a long weekend stay. During that time we were able to observe the employees in constant motion caring for, and cleaning up after the dogs. They talked to Truman and put him in a pen by himself with his bed. We left him for the long weekend and were encouraged to call. Everyone who we talked to gave us honest yet concerned updates. After the second day, our Truman had not eaten and we received a message from Downtown Dog Lounge. They had tried "doctoring" his food and found he still wasn't interested. They did have a vet ready to check him if he went much longer without eating. We were unhappy that Truman was not happy. But we were comfortable he was being well cared for. We would highly recommend this place for your pooch, if your dog is young, playful and well socialized. The people are great.

We toured the facility during a recent fund raising event. It was well-kept, spacious, and offered a lot of activities for the dogs. The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable.
