When we leave town on business or pleasure, I want Mollie to be well taken care of while we are gone. We have great neighbors who are more than willing to feed and water her and even toss the ball, but that is a lot to ask of the neighbor and Mollie doesn't have someone with her all the time. We made a conscious decision to leave her with Kim and Kevin at Canine Vanities. They treat her like she is their own dog and I never have to worry about her because I know if she were to become ill or get hurt in some way, Kim or Kevin would call us and then personally take her to our vet. Mollie is a chocolate lab and rather large, therefore making it difficult for us to bath her at home. Most of the time when Canine Vanities boards her, we also have them groom and bath her. Again, they do an excellent job. If you love your dog as much as we love ours, I highly recommend Canine Vanities. You can leave your dog in confidence that it will receive the highest level of care possible.
