Trude's Dog Motel

Traveling for work, I was gone for a week and needed a place for my small dog. I was scared at the prospect of turning over my precious dog to someone else's care. When I checked in, there was a couple picking up their dog and they said they use Trude's all the time and love it. Everything went well and it was a good experience and I'll use Trude's again.

Absolutely avoid!!! My parents boarded their 2 small dogs for a week while they went on vacation. Expecting great service like they had when Trude still was the owner, I know she has passed on now and not sure who owns it now. The motel was given an hour heads-up upon my parents returning to pick up the dogs, to find their legs covered in door feces and soaked in urine. You couldn't even bother to help clean them up even once while they were there??? Their legs were matted with feces!! My parents gave contact information should there be any problems during the dog's stay, but they were never contacted. Upon pickup, the staff said they did great while there. My parents were in shock and rushed the dogs home to bathe immediately and feed as they hardly ate during their stay. My parents had to take the 15 year old, otherwise generally healthy, shitzu to the vet asap the next day as he was very lethargic and almost did not recover from the week's stay at Trude's. Maybe if your dog is large and spends a fair amount of time outdoors normally might you have a decent experience. You would think with a veterinarian on site that they would take more pride in their services. BE WARNED! DO NOT TAKE YOUR PETS HERE IF YOU LOVE THEM!!! If I could give negative stars, I would.

We boarded our 14 yr old Pomeranian and 9 yr old Brussels Griffin for a week while on vacation. The day after returning from vacation we had to put down the Pomeranian because of kidney failure and the Brussels Griffin had bloody diarrhea due to stress. We were never called during our vacation and notified of any health problems. In fact when we called to check up on them we were told they were happy and playing. We will NEVER use this boarder again under any circumstances.

If we could give it zero stars or a negative rating we would. Our dogs were traumatized.They both smelled so bad I can't even describe it. DON'T be fooled by the commercial on TV about the three walks a day, and being on a acreage. I don't think they were cared for at all. Our beagle came home with a UTI and was peeing blood. Not one word from the staff about blood in her urine. They just expressed how good they were. If you love your dogs Do NOT board them here.

I take my two dogs to this GREAT kennel whenever I need to board them. It's a terrific facility & as my Labrador gets a bit older it's wonderful to know there's a good set of veterinarians who can help me, help her age with grace & excellent health. Drs John & Kaz Lionberger treat my dogs like family. I hate it when I have to be away from my dogs, but at least I know they will be cared for very well, safe, and comfortably. Thanks, Trude's staff!

My puppies were a wreck when we got home. They were covered in urine! Their blanket was handed to me and it was also soaked in urine! Only 2 children under the age of 15 I saw there with all the dogs. When we got home all they could do was run in the yard and poop, I don't think they were walked at all. They didn't eat and it took several days for them to calm down. Terrible!

Always have taken good care of our beagles. Reasonably priced. Not a "spa" but always clean, and comfortable for our dogs. They get plenty of exercise.

I take my dog here often! She loves it and gets plenty of exercise and attention! Great owner and staff! Affordable and local!
