Well first of all it is a good facility and it doesn't smell but dont let the looks fool you. You are being over charged for all the extra potty breaks or play times because alot of the time the dog doesnt get all of them but you are still charged for them. So when they bring your dog to you ask to see their chart to make sure all meals, potties, treats, meds, and playtimes are checked off. Don't bother bringing treats because the dogs wont get them. When the dog is going home and they notice that the treats were never opened the staff must open the bag and dump out some treats so the owner doesnt know their pet never got them. Don't bother bringing toys either because the staff hates picking them up to clean the kennels so they dont put the toys in with your pet. The owner never has any contact with the animals she doesnt even know most of their names so dont let her fool you when she comes out of her office and acts like she knows your dog she has know clue. I use to take my dog their until my friends daughter worked their and gave me the inside scoop on everything. Dogs sitting in their feces for hours, sitting outside in the hot longer than what is needed, and the staff forgetting to give animals their meds. So if you love your pet do not let them stay here.

So worried to board our 5 mth old puppy, but HAD to. So, on the referral of 3 friends, I visited. Was greeted kindly, facility could be roomer, but smelled ok & the people were very affectionate to her while I visited. (They were replanting grass, so she would only have one of the two areas to run/play in...but I was sure she'd have fun smelling the grass where hundreds of other dogs had been in the past! ). Anyway, the hours were just right for us to drop-off & pick her up. After hearing horror stories of how dogs return home w/ bad behaviors & a smelly coat, don't eat well, & aren't loved on, & so on--->NONE of that happened...she was FINE! Her food tin was almost empty, she was SOOOO happy to see us, smelled fine, & the price was just right--no added charges. She was a little jumpy/easily excitable for a day or two, but then was fine. I was especially impressed that they really understood/accommodated the needs of a puppy--meaning they automatically allowed 4 or 5 (I don't remember which) potty times per day for puppies with no extra fee. (We did purchase a few more for her, anticipating that she'd need them in order to be comfortable & we purchased a 15 min walk each day for her too for a few extra dollars a day!). All in all, I'd recommend Mt Tabor with only one hesitation!! ****If I had a 100+ lb dog, I'd find a place w/ a bigger yard. Oh, & if your animal's staying for 5-6+ days, have her shampooed before bringing her home! Also, visit ahead of time to fill out the paperwork (vaccines, when/how you want her fed, how many treats she's allowed to have, etc---(very important!--as my doggie needed another kennel cough shot before being allowed to stay). So, I hope this helps you in your search! NOTE: This review is NOT of the grooming services, nor the animal hospital portions of "Mt Tabor," only the boarding part. And be sure to check out the facilities of ANY kennel, EVERY time you use them as management does change & can go downhill fast...

The staff are wonderful and caring. The facility is clean and seem genuinely concerned about my pets.

On two seperate occasions the groomer failed to trim my dogs nails. I can understand it happening once.....but twice!!!!!
