Had a friend board her dog here and pick him up up with an absolutely mutilated neck. Apparently Carol requested they use a bark collar during his stay there. The collar prongs had begun to embed in his neck/throat, blistering and scarring the whole area around it. The vet said that it was due to never being taken off or checked during the 10 days the dog was boarded. He is a short haired white dog, and the damage would have been very apparent to anyone looking at him. Carol lied to my friend and said the injuries popped up the morning they had come to pick him up from Carol’s place. Carol Gerkin refused to pay the vet bill and refused even a refund. Do NOT leave your dogs with this place.
