It's Camryn!
It was heavy on my heart to post our story. I'm not sure what happened but I think my dog could have been injured while staying here July 2024. I have used Pet Paradise many times over the last 18 years but this time the staff was cold and very disengaged. I explained his medication regimen and gave extra pain medication and chicken foid bags for his comfort. The woman just snached his stuff and tried to rush us off. I recorded my goodbye hugs and kisses. I was off to catch a plane and thought I was being overly protective. I looked for my 11 year old sweet Cavachon daily on the web cams for a week but never saw him once. I called everyday and was told he was fine. When I picked him up he had No additional pain medication, and no chicken. He should have had plenty left. Mind you his medication is a human pain pill. About a week after coming home he started to cough. It started mild and intensified fast. I took him to Banafield, Long Animal hospital and a allergy hospital over the next 4 months but the cough just got worse. I read later it could have been caused from jerking his collar or neck too hard. At that kennel they put this lease around his neck and was offended when I asked then not to use it due to his back issues. I now truly believe he was injured with that leash causing Tracheal collapse. Trachea collapse would explain the sudden persist cough that got worse and worse and by December 1 2024 my sweet innocent precious baby died. He had survived bladder cancer and was doing absolutely wonderful until his visit to Pet Paradise. If anyone else's dog has symptoms of persist terrible sounding cough shortly after leaving here please have them seen immediately for possible Tracheal collapse. It's too late for my baby. And if your pets medication comes up short report it immediately. It may be a ongoing problem that the facility is aware of.
