WARNING TO ANONE TAKING YOUR LOVED ANIMAL TO THIS PLACE!!!!! My cat went for a grooming Wednesday, July 12th, 2017 at 10am. At 1:30 p.m. I received a call from Bruce stating my 6 year old cat had PASSED AWAY during grooming. I have spoken to the regional manager (Denise) and she is uncooperative at best. (According to Denise, basically I'm making more out of this than it really is) I don't see it that way since I no longer have a cat. My cat was 6 years old and had been groomed there eight times previously. However last Wednesday something went horribly wrong. I've been told by the regional manager when my cat started to panic so they put him into a no heat dryer cage for 1 hour to calm down. These are the questions I have asked APC employees and Denise at Advantage Pet Care Center:1. Why wasn't I called when my cat became panicky or obviously when you knew there was something wrong? I live 5 minutes away and I would have picked up my cat and taken him immediately to the vet. 2. Why was my cat put into a (no heat but with fans) dryer cage for 1 hour to calm down? My cat had a large travel cage he should have been put into, something familiar instead of a dryer. 3. Why doesn't Advantage Pet Care conduct incident reports when an animal passes away at their facility?4. When my cat was dying in the dryer cage was there any pet-tech sitting by my cat to make sure he was okay? Obviously not, because my cat passed away.5. Why can't I speak to Nick the groomer to find out what truly happened to my cat?A necropsy report was conducted at my veterinarian's office and it was determined my cat died of a heart attack. The report also indicated my cat's heart was too small for its Maine-Coon body. I understand this now but what I don't understand is the lack of compassion or why I cannot get answers to my questions above. If you truly love your pet you will reconsider taking your pet to Advantage Pet Center.** They advertise they are BBB accredited and they are NOT accredited. They also advertise Ann Stewart as the principal/owner... this is also false information/advertising. This company was sold by Ann Stewart to Pet Suites back in December 2016. (The company information is public record on Pinellas County official records.)

I travel frequently and have been boarding my dog here for about a year. The owner and staff are very friendly and seem to genuinely care about the pets. The facilities are great, with large kennels and play areas. My dog loves it there, and doesn't hesitate to run right in every time I drop him off. Rates are reasonable as well.
