NEVER AGAIN
I was traveling this past weekend to a family members wedding and had to board my dogs for the 1st time ever. I picked Pet Paradise facility that was close to the airport we were traveling to/ from. I gave them the ages, weights, sizes, vaccine records and they sent me a quote for $530 which i paid in full at drop off. The morning we returned home we drove straight to the facility (20 mins) from the airport. We arrive and are told we owe another $143 . I asked what the charges were for as our boarding was prepaid in full. The young man at the counter had no explanation. He guessed that possibly the charges were more because the stay involved a holiday. I explained that the pricing was requested and priced out for these particular dates and never changed. I asked to speak to a manager. He said there was no manager there until 2 pm . It was a nasty rain storm we had been traveling for 12 hours and still had another 3 hr trip home by car. I told him I needed to get on the road to please get my dogs and have the manager call me when they got in. He refused , and refused to give me back my pets unless I gave him the extra money still with no explanation of what the additional charges were. Not a huge amount of money but it's definitely not sitting right with me. I feel like they were holding my dogs for ransom and if I wanted to leave with my dogs I had to pay him. Im pretty upset . If they tell me it's a certain price. email an invoice and I pay in full that should have been the end of it. No effort on the part of the employee. Just an ultimatum pay the fees with no explanation or leave without your pets. Despicable. Never again.
