Silveracres Kennel

I have been boarding my dog with these folks for several years. Over the last couple of years they have had some issues with various staff members but it seems that it has been addressed here lately and the new guys seem to be on the ball as far as care of pets and maintenance of the facility. I have read a couple of tragic reviews on these guys and feel terrible for the owners of those pets but I will say that my German Shorthair has never had any issues with their heated kennels and I know that they are in the process of upgrading them and making things better around there.

My Italian Bull Mastiff died Monday from this kennels negligence. We were assured that she would be in a totally warm and safe environment only to find that the animals are kept in a semi heated environment. The temperature was in the low twenties the night she died in their possession. The kennels are in dire need of upgrading and it is not safe for short haired animals. This place seems to have new owners and I am currently reporting the kennel to every Colorado agency that is available to Colorado citizens. I am seeking legal advice at the moment. I urge you to not leave your dog with this kennel unless your dog can take extreme weather conditions overnight. This kennel offered to do nothing but drop her dead body off at our vet so she could be cremated. This dog was our loyal companion. We are heartbroken.

I honestly wish I could give them a good rating but my boarding ended in a tragedy!!! I spoke with the staff and let them know that my dog Abbey was anemic and needed good shelter and warmth. I was assured she would be taken care of. I had a bad feeling when I dropped her off. I explained it was very important that she was warmth and had shelter. I had my sister in law call and check on both of my pets as I was stuck in Texas due to a cancellation on our flight due to a storm. I was reassured that she was fine and not to hurry! I received a call that next morning that my dog had passed away!!! How can this be? I believe that she passed away due to neglect. I explained her health issue and I believe that neglect led to her unfortunate death. I was very clear on her health issues and believe this could have been avoided. I explained she needed shelter and warmth due to her anemia. I don’t feel she received the care she required. My other dog that was boarded will not even come near me and runs from me at this point. What happened !!! I will never know I guess. I am so sad about the whole experience. Can’t say this will happen to everyone but tragic for us.
