I've been bringing my dogs to BreedAbove since 2015. The love and care they provide here is above and beyond what any dog parent can ask for. The prices, while high to some, are easily worth it. The staff, somehow, remembers every single dog that walks through their doors. They even remebered my 2 labs from 10 years ago! They send report cards after each visit to let me know how my 4 month old BMD, Cleo, is doing in daycamp. I can't imagine trusting my dog with anyone else. BreedAbove is an amazing place with amazing, dog loving staff.

Nothing gets my dogs more excited than that get when we ask them if they want to see their friends at BreedAbove. We've been taking our dogs here for nearly 12 years now because they show us over and over again how much they care about our goofy mutts. Recently Amos, our ridgeback mix, had a health emergency while we were out of town. The staff took care of him with love, compassion and kindness, and then showed us that same compassion. We are forever grateful.

I was taking my dog here until I saw him getting stepped on by multiple other dogs several times due to overcrowding in small spaces. Also saw some dogs get loose when workers were going in and out. Considering this place is almost fully concrete with no beds for resting, I would see my dog come home extremely stressed out. He was unable to stand anywhere, much less run around and play. These screenshots of the webcam from his last day there should say everything to prospective new clients. And these weren't even the worst instances. I switched to a different daycare after only a handful of visits. My dog is so much happier at this new facility. He can rest on a bed when he wants to, and he doesn't come back with sore paws since they have rubber floors inside and grass outside. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Edit: I'm confused about their excuse for the overcrowding since these screenshots are from the fall when the weather was quite cool outside. No heat or humidity.

As a full time college student with a part time job it was really important for me to find a place that I trusted for my 1yr old golden. His temperament test went amazing and I was super excited for him to start. On his first official day I dropped him off at 9am with his breakfast so they could feed him, and I picked him up at almost 6pm. When we got home I realized that they hadn't fed him and his food was untouched. I immediately called and they apologized and reassured me it wouldn't happen again. We returned 3 more times before I decided to pull him out completely. The last day he was there they not only forgot to feed him again but tried to lie to me about it when I asked. I did not feel comfortable sending him back there after that and he's going back to his original daycare.

Another great experience at Breed Above. I have boarded my dog, Candy, here several times for overnight stays with much success. The staff are caring and trustworthy and they actually love their work because they love dogs. They also know how to securely handle all kinds of dogs and always follow any specific instructions I provide. I appreciate the feedback I get from the report cards provided with overnight stays so I know how my dog is handling being away from home. I also appreciate the fact that there are a variety of boarding options, including private suites and private play options, as I have a high anxiety dog who is afraid of other dogs. I am very happy with the quality of services provided by Breed Above. Thank you! See you next time.

We love BreedAbove! When my beagle Oscar started going to BreedAbove, he was hesitant to go with the staff, even though they are always welcoming and very friendly. He spent some time in Daycamp to help him gain confidence before graduating to Daystay. Now, the minute we pull into the parking lot, Oscar gets incredibly excited and always makes a beeline for the door to go in and play with all his dog friends. He comes home exhausted and happy!

I’m saddened to share this experience, but feel it is necessary to keep our dogs safe. My 10 month old puppy was under the care of Breed Above for the day, recently, and when I picked him up, the staff handed me this piece of metal with my dogs microchip and ID tags hanging from it. I asked how this could have happened and got "oh, he must have gotten caught in something" to "I wasn’t personally here this morning so I don’t know what happened" and "he’s not supposed to have his collar on, so I don’t know what happened". After thinking about it, I realized that this had to have been done by a human. They either ripped the tags off while my dog was wearing his collar, or a person took my dogs collar off and damaged it that way. Either way, it’s disturbing. He was smelly, dirty, and anxious after I picked him up. He was starving and thirsty-they didn’t feed him the food I brought. I thought it was strange when I checked the webcams and noticed around 70 dogs, some inside a playpen and some outside. It was raining, but they were bombarded with dogs without a staff member in sight. My gut told me that the story about the tag ring wasn’t adding up and I was sure someone would follow up to see how my dog was doing. He had diarrhea for 36 hours from the stress of being at Breed Above and nobody took the time to check in with us or offer to make the situation right somehow.
