The only thing that is not enjoyable, are the sick dogs. They, themselves are lovely, but what they are carrying is the problem.
Because, We are neighbours to the vet, we share the same grass, the same walk ways and the same clients. Before a patient visits the Vet to diagnose what is going on with their dog, they let them pee on the grass, and walk by my door, spreading their illness all over the outdoors of the building; surfaces other dogs will come into contact with. Sometimes they miss the sign in the window to avoid shopping with a sick dog, and come wandering in.
This unfortunately takes away my disinfection control. Although, We do our due diligence, and disinfect all surfaces, including cages, tubs, equipment and the floors and walls, a dog can pick up a virus and bring it into my shop. Owners assume it is caused by something we did (or did not) do here, without considering that sick pets use this plaza too.
Just like visiting a hospital or dr. office, you can pick up something you did not go in with.
