I can’t even imagine placing one of my terriers in an environment that brags about cage-free services. For my dogs, and many of yours, that would mean subjecting them to injuries – or worse. Who thought of this idea? Certainly not anybody with the amount of dog experience I or my staff have. We know what cage-free really means. It means the person providing the service didn’t have the money or good sense to invest in a proper pet-care facility or equipment.
Even our PlayCare services make use of crates at times. We think all dogs need some time in a safe place, by themselves to just relax without the worry that another dog is going to come after them. We give our PlayCare dogs a one hour break to relax and eat a cookie before resuming supervised play with the group. They need that down time!
Don’t be fooled by the marketing hype. Cage-free is NOT worry free for you or your dogs. And a cage-free overnight stay is a recipe for disaster. My terriers don’t look like they want to fight, but fight they will if another dog irritates them too much. And it won’t be pretty.
We want to provide a safe, secure and healthy environment for ALL pets regardless of their training, breed characteristics or social abilities. You should expect no less when looking for pet lodging. You need to trust that your pet-care service providers understand dogs, and not just marketing.
