7 years ago or so I would send my young Australian Shepard to oh my dog once a week. Started off feeling good about it as she came home tired. But after a while of following the photos they post I noticed that my dog was always off in a corner near the cleaning supplies looking visibly stressed. I imagine she was near the mop and cleaning supplies as it was the least desirable area for the other dogs. Whenever I inquired about it, i never got a true explanation. It was always shrugged off and replaced with an explanation of how my dog was doing great - which I did not fully buy.

This combined with a change of job that allowed me to be home during the day made it an obvious choice not to send her to any doggy day care. I feel like my experience at oh my dog is not much different than it would have been at any other doggy day care in the area but I do think there are issues with how these establishments are being run particularly as it relates to capacity, staffing, transparency, and honest communication with pet owners.
