emBark Doggie Daycare

emBark Doggie Daycare, Eau Claire, Wi review

I started taking Duke to a doggie daycare when he was little. I wanted to make sure that he got as much social interaction with other dogs as possible. I knew that German shepherds could be dog aggressive and I didn't want that to happen with Duke. Also, as a hyper puppy, I didn't always have time to run around with him, so he could come here and wear himself out :) (which he always did). When I first took him there is was called The Beastro, they have since moved and added some services and are now emBark. When they were at their old building (he hasn't been to the new one enough), Duke would seriously start being excited about 3 blocks before we got there. Ever fail.

Heather, the owner, is fabulous. She has years of experience with dogs. Have a question? Ask her.

They also offer different events. emBark after Dark gives you a time to just hang out with your dog and enjoy other dog lovers company. They also offer training classes, I've never been to one, so I can't comment on them, but I would assume they are great also! They have a lock in during the Fourth of July so those dogs that are afraid of fireworks can get away.

Another great thing that I have found is that, they have partnered with a pet sitting company that will drop off and pick up your dog from daycare. I have used this multiple times when I have gone on vacation and Duke has stayed with my grandma who doesn't drive.

Pros: Everything. They have it split into small and large dogs. They offer grooming (which is great after a day of dog slobber) and nail clippings. Lots of toys and room. A separate potty area. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Cons: I have since moved from Eau Claire and can't find the same atmosphere for Duke where I currently live. He does get to go whenever I go home though.

Kind of a Con: I wish they were open on weekends, that is when I get back to my parents the most, but sadly they are not open.

I give emBark 5 out of 5 stars.
