Both our Labs are regulars at Dogs Country Club and Kennel resort - we wouldn’t take them anywhere else. Back in July 2018, whilst we were vacationing in the US, we received an email from the kennels letting us know that our Ping looked liked she had ruptured her cruciate ligament. As always, the wonderful “Doggy Doaters”, along with our Vet, managed her injury until we returned home, and she had surgery.
This incident prompted me to look closer at Dogs Country Club’s “sister” kennel - “We love Dogs”. It’s a specialised facility that focus’ on “golden oldies”, “rehab/surgery” and “special/medical” needs pups. I completed a tour of the kennels - and knew I would be impressed - as it was to the same impeccably high standard as the Dogs Country Club. I filed my visit in the back of my mind as “what a fantastic place, offering a real niche service” - but hoping it would be a long time before we would be required to use it”.
We had booked both our pups into Dogs Country Club for a week in February 2019 as we were heading off to Singapore. A week and a half before we were due to leave, Ping ruptured her other cruciate ligament. Panic ensued and our first thought was “crap, what happens now”?
Immediately, I spoke to both Dogs Country Club and We Love Dogs - and it was decided that our best course of action was for Benson (our other Lab) to stay at Dogs Country Club, but Ping would head off to We Love Dogs for the specialised care that she would need after her TPLO cruciate ligament surgery.
I went and toured the facility again, and spoke to the staff there (most I knew as they had been at Dogs Country Club at some stage).
Ping was operated on a Monday, and went to the Kennels on the following Monday. We left the country on the Tuesday.
There was NEVER a moment of doubt in our minds that We Love Dogs would give her the attention and after surgery care that she needed. If anything, it was a relief to hand her over to “the experts” who would be far better qualified than we were to keep her quiet and sedate !
We were kept updated on her progress via email whilst we were away - and we were completely able to enjoy our trip without having to worry about her care after such a big operation.
We Love Dogs is a wonderful facility - state of the art quarters, fantastic staff, and really catering to a need that no other kennel (that we know of) offers.
Between Dogs Country Club, and We Love Dogs - every scenario for our pups kennel needs are covered. As I said when I started this lengthy review - we wouldn’t take them anywhere else !!!!!
