On the verge of being empty nester's, my wife and I decided to enrich our lives with a puppy. Stella, also known as Stella McCartney, ""The Fuzzy Taco"", and Fuzzy Wuzzy Bear is the light of our life. \t\n\t\nWe found Benny's Dog Resort and liked what we read on the web so we arranged an interview with Benny De La Vega to insure our dog was sociable. \t\n\t\nWhat a great feeling to know that they care not to put aggressive or otherwise dangerous dogs in the mix. Stella goes to spend the night when we go out of town and there is no concern about her sitting idle in a kennel all day. She is out playing with her friends- \t\n\t\nOf course we liken Benny to Cesar - He and his crew are great with animals and you can see their genuine love for their profession. They know your dog by name, keep you updated with lots of love from Facebook pics \t\n\t\n- What a delight to have Benny's in our life!\t\n ...read more

My three dogs have stayed at Benny's for every vacation for the past 4 years. They always come home exhausted- they play so much at the dog resort. Thanks for a job always well done! ...read more

This last Christmas my dogs stayed at Benny's Dog Resort for 1 week. Unfortunately when I got my dogs back their bedding was completely ruined and they certainly did not smell much better. My dogs were extremely sick and shivering from being wet in the cold Dallas weather. I have 1 very large Yellow Lab and 1 small English Cocker Spaniel. The lab had kennel cough for 2 weeks and lost 10 lbs from his stay. The cocker spaniel lost about 4 lbs. I know they are running around but this weight loss is pretty extreme. When I tried to bring this issue to the owners attention he argued that he was not responsible and that all I was calling about was $$$. He argued with me for 15 minutes belittling my dogs health condition with comments like "its just the common cold". At the end of the argument he did agree to pay for the vet visit but honestly ALL I cared about was the health of my dogs certainly not the money. All I wanted was an apology and a simple is there anything I can do...but instead all I got was him putting me down saying that I was being ridiculous to be so concerned. I hope every own knows about this story so that maybe one day Benny will stop being the typical business owner and start caring about the animals instead of the money. ...read more
