Hi National Barks Pet Resort Family and Friends,

I want to make everyone aware of an incident we experienced on Friday (the 18th) at the facility. It is important to me that we are transparent, and you hear things straight from the source.

First, I want to assure you that everyone is or is going to be okay.

Friday, a very aggressive camper (we had no prior knowledge of the aggression) turned and bit several staff despite the safety measures and instructions being followed.

I first believed it to be redirect aggression from being overstimulated. After, the initial incident, the dog was lead to the quiet playfloor and outdoor area. He was on the floor for a couple minutes acting calm when he began seeking out staff and aggressively attacking unprovoked.

No other campers were involved, and the situation was mitigated quickly. Staff handled the situation very well and I am so proud of them!

Unfortunately, staff and myself were injured. As soon as the camper was under control, emergency action steps were implemented including contacting the pet parents, 911, and the authorities.

You may be aware of this already, as a few clients reached out when they saw emergency services at the facility, and it is important to me that I allay your concerns. All campers are being cared for and there is no need for concern. Staff are recovering nicely, and will be provided with any needed time off or support. We are licensed and insured.

I am available to answer any questions and can be reached directly through text at 910-292-9319.

Remember, accidents can happen despite experience and staff training. Be kind with your words in the comments.

Please rest assured that your pets are our priority. We are here for you!

Warmly,

Jessica Ellis

I didn't think an animal welfare courtesy post would attract so many nasty bunyaky. WARNING: troublemakers will be Blocked. Period. I am not obligated to free speech doctrine, and nastiness is not protected, anyway.

Lots of comments, "Why is this allowed?"
1. Because is market for it.
2. Because xylitol is used by companies that do cruel animal testing.

Ingredients are forced into animals until half of test population di*s. Then data for human safety is extrapolated. THEY DO NOT CARE IF THEY HURT YOUR PET. They torture and k(ll animals daily, to limit their legal liability when their toxins give YOU cancer. I studied and witnessed animal testing in Animal Sciences. Look up "LD50 tests." They have no conscience, and only want your money. IF you could afford to take corporation to court, and IF you won, they would only be liable for the cost of replacing your pet.
