Karla’s Bed & Biscuit

I dropped off my 6 month old Shiba Inu with Karla’s Bed and Biscuit in early March for 3 days and 3 nights. He was fully up to date on all his vaccinations.
Karla advertises her services for dogs as being cage free with an area to roam. While this may appeal to many people (it certainly appealed to me), my dog picked up Giardia from running around in her yard.
Giardia is usually transmitted from dog to dogs through fecal material. Most likely what happened was that one of her resident dogs (she owns five), had Giardia, pooped in the backyard, and then my dog inevitable stepped in it.
Karla does not allow tours of her facilities. It is highly likely given the volume of pets that she services, that she does not regularly clean the mud and fecal material in her yard. This is unacceptable for someone that takes care of pets.
When confronting her about him picking up Giardia from her. She simply replied «that’s just the way it is, it’s something that just happens to the dogs that I really can do nothing about.»
I generally don’t review much on Unilocal,but I really want to urge anyone considering Karla’s Bed and Biscuit to look elsewhere. She is an irresponsible caretaker of pets and your dollars are better spent elsewhere.

We don’t usually travel with our dog, but we had to be in the Ann Arbor area and needed somewhere to leave our dog for the day since locking her in the car all day is just not an option. Karla’s Bed & Biscuit was a great dog day care. Our dog had a cage-​free, fun day with other dogs and was tired and happy when we picked her up at the end of our day. I would definitely use this service again.
Just a tip — this business is on a dirt road, so don’t make the mistake I did and wash your car right before taking your pup out there.
