I would 100% recommend sam & Danni’s! I brought my dog Ares there for a week, and when I came to pick him up, he looked at me then turned around and looked at the worker as if he’s like “i don’t know who this lady is let’s go back”. On the way home he started out the window and whined. He had SO much fun being able to play w other dogs. They took such good care of him (:

We have been bringing our dog once a week for doggy daycare and have been very happy with the service Sam and Danni’s has provided. My husky gives daycare a 5/5

My fur babies, Max & Maggie, love to go to Sam & Danni's!!! The entire staff take such great care of Max... Maggie only goes to the park... either going for a play day, or just visiting the park... you ask them if they wants to go to Sam & Danni's... and they start bouncing off the walls, heads is out the window all the way there...

Mixed feelings. We have been using Sam and Danni's for 9 years. Until now. For our last Vaca we kenneled our dogs with community playtime. Sunday, the elder of the pups was attacked by a German Shepard she was not playing with. We were told she had a small superficial laceration on her neck and it was irrigated and sterilized with ointment application by staff. They left it up to us if we wanted them to go to emergency vet or wait a day and go to our regular vet. Again, They informed us it was a small laceration and they tended to it. They made it sound as if it was a minor issue that could wait a day. They said she was playful, happy and herself at the time. On Monday, We were contacted by Sam & Dannis AND our vet that she needed surgical irrigation/debridement/sutures with drain placement for the deep neck laceration. Of course we said yes. We were told she tolerated surgery well. The owner of the aggressive dog had picked up his pup the day of the attack. Tuesday Sam and Danni's informed us when they let her outside she was off the leash and pulled her drain out. They did not follow the Vets instructions to keep her on a leash. Vet called and informed us also of the monitoring she would need post surgery to properly recover. We felt she was not getting it now and were concerned for her safety. We packed up to return home when a family friend went to Sam & Dannis and checked both of our dogs out of there.

Positives: Sam and Dannis did make accommodations for a surgical dog by upgrading to larger a kennel. They took her for Vet check for injury. We were called several times by staff with updates.

Negatives: 1) They extremely downplayed the severity of the attack. After watching the video it brought us to tears. 2) They did not follow the Vets instructions which put her at higher risk for infection after surgery. 3) The contract with Sam & Dannis specifically states they are not responsible for any attack such as this. They held true to their word. We were charged for pill administration for antibiotics, etc....They did not take the role of liason between us and the other owner for an attack that happened on their property. We were told in order to cover surgical costs, it would be our responsibility to pay or contact the aggressor owner to pay. We sought legal counsel. In the end the aggressor dog owner paid the bill 100% without any legal issues.

Our pups are both doing very good, their happy and safe. Picture attached is the day our pup was picked up.

They take such good care of my pup. Love like I do at home and wear him out! He loves all his two and four legged friends and gets so excited when we pull in the driveway.
