Disclaimer: I have not boarded my dogs here. I literally live right up the road and have considered it numerous times, but the reviews I have read scared me away. Today my wife and I were passing by this vets office (at the Acton/Cahaba River intersection) and witnessed a dark haired male come out of the back of the clinic with a small black and white dog (appeared to be a Boston Terrier), carry the dog to the holding pen and then drop the little guy from about chest level. I have 2 small dogs myself and am very well aware that nearly all breads (especially small) are often susceptible to hip, knee and back problems and that 3.5-4 ft drops are very dangerous to a dog (all dogs, but especially small dogs) - definitely not something I would be cool with my dog setter doing in my absence. Again, I have not boarded here and so cannot attest via my own personal experience, though I did feel it important to relay what I saw... If this were my dog that I observed this treatment... Well... Lets just say that me and mr. dog setter would be having a very up close talk... Some people don't care - so if "a dogs just a dumb dog" to you, then ignore me... But if you do care and your little guy/girl is part of the family that you just can't take on this trip, be wary of boarding here... I know mine won't be staying here...

During 2012 Christmas holidays my dog was boarded here for 2 days. He was just bathed and had no fleas when dropped off. Instead of using the flea/tick drops, they had put this nasty flea powder on my dog. That's ridiculous. I wouldn't expect flea powder at the pound. All they had to do is tell me to pretreat my dog w/ the drops or call me and I'll pay for the drops. Never again.
