I used to work at a kennel, supposedly one of the better ones in town. And I'll tell you right now, I would NEVER leave my dogs there with them! I've seen how they're treated, and how they're left to mess in their cages. I'm even wary about taking them to groomers now, having done that too. So now, I leave them with a friend I trust when I go away and take them to a friend who I know is great with dogs while she's grooming them. Having worked in the industry, it makes me very nervous any time i have to leave them anywhere.
