Pooch Playhouse and Boarding

11/28/2007 Posted by buddyandolive

After reading the reviews of Pooch Playhouse, and visiting the facility, I was convinced that it was the perfect place to board my geriatric dog. I booked 8 nights, and dropped him off. When I arrived to pick my dog up, he was limping. I asked what happened and the staff said they hadn't noticed he was even limping. Okay, he's an old dog, maybe he is just sore from lack of exercise, or too much exercise. Then they handed me his "report card". Only 4 of the 8 days were accounted for, and there was no indication anywhere that he had gotten his daily medicine (other than the bill). Maybe they just need to work out the kinks, but thre's no way their target clientele will be satisfied paying premium prices without the premium care.

Pros: Clean, Convenient Location

Cons: Inconsistent, Not what you'd expect from the price

Our Goldendoodle Maggie has a blast at Pooch Playhouse! When she sees her red leash brought out of the garage, she will enthusiastically try to help us get her hooked up and make a beeline for the car. She is very social, and will try to play with any dog, ANY size. Her first playmate at Pooch Playhouse was a full-sized Great Dane, twice her size. She tried to get him to follow her down the little doggie slide, and playfully splashed in her water bowl, trying to get him to reciprocate. She adores her "doggy camp" at Pooch Playhouse. WE are comforted with the fact that we can leave her there, even if just for a half day while doing errands, and she will be kept clean, safe, be able to socialize with other dogs, and our house does not get torn apart while we are away. Best of all, we can leave her in a fun, safe place while away on vacation, and pick her up bathed, groomed, and looking great! The staff obviously love animals, and are very attentive, and very good with our girl. She even learned some obedience skills during her first stay. I heartily recommend Pooch Playhouse to any TN dog owner.

Pros: Great staff; impecably clean kennels, entertaining for our pet, awesome service

Cons: a little pricey, but worth it

Pooch Playhouse is in a very convenient location to get to. We have a very active 2 year old Weimaraner who is always exhausted when we pick her up. She gets so excited when we pull onto Parkway Drive. The staff is so friendly and always remembers who Lily is when I call to make a boarding reservation. I would absolutely recommend Pooch Playhouse to anyone who wants their dog to have a good time and to be treated well while you have to be away!

Pros: The facility is very clean and staff is super nice

Cons: Pooch Playhouse is a bit expensive for boarding

"Nick" my mini schnauzer would love to be with Tricia, Heidi, Courtney , Laura, Lindsey and Jackie anytime! They spoil him and he is super tired and happy at the end of a stay! The playhouse is bright and clean with lots of supervised fun for the pups! Nick has regular friends and pups that come and go on a different schedule than his but I know he is always safe and well cared for! The staff loves the dogs and is interested in helping my little guy stay happy and well behaved. Abby does his grooming while he is there and Nick comes home the handsome little guy I know he is. Try their daycare pass, the value cannot be beat, and for overnite stays they are the best, not those a la carte prices, daycare is included, I went on my trip, had fun and came home to a happy puppy! Try Pooch Playhouse, your dog will love you for it!!

Pros: Clean, smells good, friendly and knowledgeable staff, great hours, too many pros to name
