Four Paws Inn

This place is so unsanitary that I reported them to the Dept of Animal Health and Bismarck Animal Control. It is so unsanitary that my dog developed coccidia 2 weeks after her stay here (which is a parasite that takes 2 weeks to show symptoms — funny coincidence, huh?).
I boarded my dog here over a weekend and found dried on urine and feces on her paws and coat when I picked her up. The manager explained that the dogs have a concrete slab to do their business on, and during the winter when it’s cold the staff just lets the waste freeze instead of the «labor-​intensive process» of cleaning it up. Here’s the kicker: despite this facility also having a bathing service, they just let your dog lay in other dogs’ waste instead of cleaning them off!
I want to stress: THIS IS NOT A GUESS. THIS IS WHAT THE MANAGER TOLD ME WHEN I ASKED FOR AN EXPLANATION.
When I called Animal Control their response was, «That’s disgusting. We will investigate.» Take your business elsewhere, people. Your dogs will thank you.

Zero stars, negative stars — if it were possible for a review. My family took our 4 year old (sweet as a dog could ever be) shepherd here for boarding for three days just after Christmas in 2014. When we picked her up from Four Paws Inn — Bismarck, her paws were covered with crusted feces and urine. Deplorable. Unbelievable. Do NOT bring your pets here for any reason. I called them today asking for a manager and was told that she would call me back tomorrow. Regardless of the conversation we may or may not have, there is NO — NO possible excuse for this being tolerable or acceptable at any level, for any reason. I am completely and utterly disgusted.
