[quote=Anonymous]My dog, after attending doggie daycare 1-2x per week for about 5 months, was diagnosed with oral papilloma (as the result of sharing water bowls and/or toys, presumably.)  I read that it was somewhat common.  Our daycare facility noticed it (presumably after another dog was discovered to have it).  Naturally, my dog couldn't return until he was free of the warts/lesions (which appeared on his gums, just two.)  So we treated with antibiotics and he's clear, but now what?

I don't know that I want to send him back there.  We need care 1-2 x/week for 4-6 hours each day.  I realize a dog walker is a solution but for other reasons, not a good solution for my dog.  Should I investigate other facilities or take my chances again with this one?  FWIW, I really liked this one and felt good about leaving him there for daycare.  They won't/can't do anything about shared water bowls but is it reasonable to ask them that my dog not be allowed to use a chew toy?  It is too expensive and inconvenient to deal with a recurrence of this condition.

Anyone else deal with this?  Or any recommendations for excellent (and cleaner?) doggie daycare in the Rockville area?
