@zakir500 TBH, that doesnt necessarily reflect on their level of care.
Ive worked in a few dog daycares and some dogs just arent suited to it. Even if they're kept solo (which kind of defeats the point, but was necessary in some cases) the sounds and smells of other dogs was enough to keep them way over stimulated.
If your pup is sensitive, or used to routine, boarding at a facility might just be too much for them.
The smell thing is a frequent complaint, but again, a place that houses 30+ dogs just isn't going to smell like roses. The daycares I worked at were cleaned scrupulously every day - walls scrubbed with brushes weekly, flooring swept, mopped, and steamed daily, laundry running
constantly. It doesn't matter. It smells like active dogs.
Needing baths after is common too, especially if the dog is anxious. But bathing them might make them more anxious, and is time consuming (you can just leave a dog wet at a boarding or daycare facility - might as well not have bathed it in the first place), so they often dont unless its included and paid for in the package.
TBH, I started doing home petsitting because I knew a few dogs who couldnt be boarded, and so I branched out. It just doesnt work for every dog.
