The opinions expressed by the reviewers are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of Furstays!™
Safety
Companion Animal Hospital & Boarding Center has experienced concerning incidents related to medication administration, vaccination protocols, and communication with clients. One reviewer noted, "My dog wasn’t given her medication during a week-long stay, and I wasn’t informed until after I picked her up. That is unacceptable." Another client reported their dogs contracted kennel cough after being vaccinated on the day of pickup, highlighting a lapse in vaccination timing and protocol.
Facilities
The facility offers climate-controlled kennels and outdoor exercise areas for pets. However, concerns about the cleanliness of these areas and the stress experienced by pets during their stay were raised. A reviewer shared, "My pup had gastritis from the stress of boarding here." These reports suggest inconsistencies in the environment’s overall comfort.
Amenities
While the facility provides grooming, bathing, and medical care services, rising costs and unclear pricing practices have led to dissatisfaction among some clients. One reviewer stated, "My usual $50 grooming was suddenly $60, with no clear notification about the price change."
Care and Services
Despite some positive feedback about staff friendliness, negative experiences dominate. Issues with delayed prescription approvals and substandard communication were frequently mentioned. A client recounted, "It’s been 14 days, and my dog’s Nexgard prescription is still awaiting vet approval. No one has followed up despite my repeated calls and emails."
Cleanliness and Sanitation
Cleanliness of the boarding facility has come under scrutiny, with one reviewer stating their dogs became ill during their stay. This feedback raises concerns about the efficacy of the facility’s cleaning protocols and overall health standards.
Technology and Security
The facility does not provide webcams or live video feeds for pet owners, resulting in a deduction. This lack of transparency can be a significant drawback for clients who prioritize real-time monitoring of their pets.
Suites
Boarding accommodations are climate-controlled and include outdoor exercise areas.
Location
Conveniently situated in Fort Walton Beach, FL, the facility is easily accessible for local residents.
Public Perception
Some clients appreciate the availability of medical services and emergency boarding options. Feedback highlights issues with customer service, communication, and adherence to proper pet care protocols. These shortcomings have led to significant dissatisfaction among some pet owners.
Overall Impressions
Companion Animal Hospital & Boarding Center faces critical challenges in maintaining trust and satisfaction among its clients. Safety concerns, poor communication, and lapses in pet care standards severely impact its reputation. Despite some positive attributes, the overall rating is limited to 5.0, reflecting the need for substantial improvements.
