Happy Mailman Dog Day Care

8850 Hwy 290 W
Austin, TX 78736
Phone: (512) 301-2359
Worst dog care anywhere
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

11/03/2007 Posted by djeff

My experience with Happy Mailman could not have been worse! I would never take my dog there again, and I would never recommend the place to anyone. When I picked my dog up, he had puncture wounds from being bitten by another dog, and he was filthy and had burrs in his fur! The staff is not customer oriented, and the location is inconvenient. Happy Mailman charges a premium price for what is supposed to be a premium service, but in this case, you do not get what you pay for. If you love your pet, do not go here!

Pros: Facility appears quaint (but looks are deceiving)

Cons: Poor service, poor care of dogs, unfriendly staff, bad location

Response from this business

Please let us know if you have a problem

I am very sorry to hear (especially via this anonymous format) that a dog in our care left with injuries. We take many precautions to ensure that our facility is very safe for all dogs, including a thorough evaluation process for every dog that comes here. In any open play environment, some dogs (especially those that play rough) are at risk of getting the occasional nick from a tooth or toenail. I assume this is what happened since we have not had any fights. Additionally, it is our policy to inform the owners of any dogs that are involved in abnormal play or exhibitions of aggression. If you feel your dog is dirty from outdoor play at the time of pickup, we'll be more than happy to give it a bath for you before you leave. I appreciate any feedback you have regarding my staff's customer care, as well. Please do not hesitate to call and ask for me directly to discuss any of these issues. Thank you, Jeff (Owner)
