Tucker Pup's Dog Activity Center

These people harmed my dog- worst dog 'care' place ever

Review Rating
I had an awful experience here. They hurt my dog when they were bathing her; she was old and it caused internal bleeding. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't do it on purpose and that they accidentally dropped her, but they should have told me when I came to pick her up. All they did was try to cover themselves by shoving the liability form in front of me to sign. The other thing they did wrong was they didn't ask me anything about her when I dropped her off, like her age. I should have told them even though they didn't ask, but I just assumed (WRONGLY) that they knew what they were doing and would treat all dogs with care. I knew something was wrong by the way my dog was acting when I picked her up -sluggish and shaky instead of the happy dog I had dropped off earlier- but I didn't realize that she had internal bleeding until the vet told me later when I had to take her in. The vet also told me that it was caused by 'blunt force' and not regular bathing, so I know something happened there. I should have listened to my instincts when I first walked in and didn't get a good feeling; the staff there didn't beam at my dog and chatter like they do at most doggie places, where you can just feel the love of animals. But I learned the hard way that this place does not care, and I want to save others from my experience.

My puppy, Gus, is a 7 month old shih-poo who stays at Tucker Pup?s when I have to go out of town. His stay there from June 5 thru June 8 went very well. Gus does not seem to like other dogs, a fact my husband and I are both aware of, but despite this, all the employees were very accommodating with him. The ones I spoke with when I picked him up were very honest, realized he wasn't... more

The training class with Debbie did not help my dog at all and she talked too much about her own dog. The play area looked good but the place was just way too crowded and so I think they are just out to make money.

They give customers discounts if they write them a good review!!!!!

Pros

+ None

Cons

- Overcrowded, bad training

It took awhile, but Noel seems more and more comfortable at Tucker Pup's. Now when I drop her off - most times - she has stopped making me pull her out of the car and excitedly scampers in to play. The very best part that I most appreciate, though, is that I can tell that a few particular members of regular staff really enjoy Noel. I can also see that Noel really enjoys them back. Knowing... more
