F Street Hound

We have been going here with our dog ever since they opened. It is a clean facility and the people are carrying animal lovers. We enjoy the fact that our dog gets to socialize with other dogs and gets exercise during the day and makes her a healthier dog when we get home.

My dog LOVES it here. The staff is absolutely awesome! It's a little pricey but worth it for my high energy pup! He gets exercise, socialized, provides free entertainment to the staff and customers that see him in the window. The only reason for 4 stars is because I wish they had an outdoor area for dogs to play and/or potty. However, my dog doesn't care, he just wants to be where the action is!

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.

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.

I take my dog Georgia to doggie daycare almost every day. They have long hours, so I can drop my dog off for my 10 hour shifts. Georgia is always excited to go and always tired from playing when she gets home.

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.

At one time, this was a 5-star place and over the past year, this establishment has crashed and burned. The day care aspect, at least to my knowledge, is good. The pup comes home tired and exhausted. I can't speak to cleanliness, attention, employee care, etc. The grooming aspect? HORRENDOUS! It's like someone learned dog grooming off a 5 minute YouTube video and was hired by F Street. The first time, we let it go. The cut was terrible, the ears and tail were not even close to fitting the breed. The last time, we were told by staff that the groomer 'nicked' our dog's foot. Well, the 'nick' turned out to be a 1/8" inch hold in one of the PADS of her foot. How the hell did that happen? We ended up having to take her to the pet hospital for an infection. The visit and antibiotics cost $$$. We advised Angela, the manager at F Street, and sent pictures of the wound. We asked for a refund of money spent at the vet and for medicine. It took Angela a week to respond and she did say she would take care of the costs when we sent a bill from the hospital. We did that immediately. Over a month later, no response. An email 72 hours ago was sent, still no response. We've been told (confidentially) by an employee to not bring our pet here anymore because staff morale is low, employees are quitting, and management doesn't care. You should seek other venues for pet care and boarding.

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.

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.

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.
