F Street Hound

If I could rate this establishment with 0 stars, I would. My dog came back traumatized. PTSD for life, and he jumps every time we try to touch him. Now I hate to be the person that blames the groomer for every little thing that happens, especially because I know my dog is a very hyper puppy and the people in this profession are mostly passionate about animals. Usually my dog comes back from there very timid and hides behind furniture for at least a day, but then he goes back to normal I assumed it was normal given that grooming may be a bit invasive and takes time to adjust to. However, this time was different. I did not recognize my dog at all. He was afraid, shocked, and in pain. They nicked him in the bottom again, I understand it could be an accident and he had a hard time sitting. His voice was hoarse and he made bone chilling noises while breathing. After detecting that something may have gone wrong, we gave them a call just to see if he had struggled or gave them a hard time during the session. They were sneaky about it and assured is that everything was fine. But after he continued like that for a few days, we gave them another call, after which they admitted that they left him in the kennel all day prior to grooming and he was barking all day. Any child would be able to see that the dog is not trained to be in a Kennel. Why did they not send him to the daycare, or better yet, why did I not receive a call asking you if they can put him in the daycare before his session? Not only was he left in the kennel all day, but he was roughly treated and they tugged hardly on his neck. I have been to another establishment before where they told me that my dog was too hyper and they could not handle grooming. If they couldn’t handle grooming/controlling him, I would have been more than happy to have them give me a call to take him as opposed to traumatizing him for life. Needless to say, NEVER going back there. Disappointed to say the least. These are not just animals. These are our family members and it broke my heart to see him like that.

I've boarded my dog here a few times over the past year due to ease of booking and low price. On three separate instances in the past few months my dog has gotten sick immediately after boarding here - twice with diarrhea and once with a dry cough. I understand illnesses are passed around at kennels, but it correlates with boarding at F Street Hounds. I will not be boarding my dog here again in the future.

My go to doggie drop off. Super convenient to be able to drop off your pooch as needed. The staff love all of the fur babies they take in. Have also used their overnight boarding.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE. I was supposed to start working there and though things were going great, I watched an employee push a dog into a wall after the dog got in a fight. It is completely unacceptable to treat dogs that way and cause them trauma.

Both of my dogs have boarded here many times over the years. My lab is VERY anxious, and I still feel like he is welcome...even if he is overly dramatic. They always know my dogs names. The pups are excited to be picked up but I have no doubt they were looked after very well during their stay.

They treat my dog like family. He loves going to doggy daycare.

Two dogs left for one week. Returned healthy and clean. I would recommend their service. While boarding is the least desirable option for pets you love. It can be a necessary evil.

This is a great and reliable place. Very helpful employees are very nice. I take my dog here for boarding. This last time the dog returned home a little bit sick he got like a cold like simtoms and was very down for couple days but now he is doing better. They always take good care of my dog.
