Great staff! My dog gets excited as soon as he hears the dogs barking!

My Greyhound, came from Fast Friends. He has been a wonderful addition to our family. The folks at Fast Friends are very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend them for anyone interested in adopting a Greyhound.

Brought my dog there twice. On the second visit, when I picked her up I asked a young woman working at the desk how it went that day. She replied automatically, "she played with her friends". It seemed like a rote answer and I didn't believe she actually KNEW anything about what my dog had done, or whether she seemed to be liking it, etc. When I pressed a little further, she said, "they're just dogs" and snidely laughed and looked at her colleagues. In other words, I was made to feel like a kook (crazy dog owner, etc) for simply wanting a little information about how it was going. I won't be going back.

1 day before our trip, they called me to say our puppy actually cannot stay for boarding because she has only had her first round of shots. The puppy is 4 months old, and the shots have to be done 4 weeks after the first round. She isn’t due for round 2 for another 10 days, now we have to cancel our trip, I explained what she had for shots when we booked them. Very disappointed.

I've been bringing my pups here for approximately 7 years (boarding and daycare). They've had positive experiences every single time. They even start their happy, loud noises down at the traffic circle on the way up Swanzey Road. We come for daycare almost every week (and on different days of the week). One of my dogs is a little shy; the other is extremely outgoing. The incredible staff knows how to work with both of my dogs despite their very different personalities. Only once did one of the dogs get nipped by a puppy while boarding and playing. I was called immediately and given multiple options for her care (just a little scrape, nothing serious, no vet visit required but they offered to take her). The staff assumed I'd want to know and acted accordingly. I feel that they respect how important my dogs are to our family and understand that they're not just pets to us. We have boarded our dogs for 1-11 overnights ~4 times per year, and every time I've been fully confident the pups were receiving kind, attentive, loving, professional, and responsive care. Boarding has never been cancelled, and no staff member has ever been rude or unpleasant--never not once in 7 years!!! I write this as someone who has tried other facilities in NH, NY, and MA. I know my dogs very well; if there was even a hint that they absolutely thrilled to go Fast Friends every time, they wouldn't be going at all.

We were volunteering at their quarterly dog wash. There were lots of greyhounds and it was a fun day to meet many Greyhound owners and the greyhounds.

They boarded my dog for me for a week. I chose the doggy daycare package along with the boarding for the week. My dog seemed very happy when I picked him up.

Sadly this place does not even deserve a one star review. Do not bring your dogs here. First off, I have payed extra each day for my dog to have “ stay & play”. However it is a complete joke. I have been told by multiple employees that “stay & play” is indeed fake. They don’t even take the dogs out enough from the kennel, allowing them to have accidents. Next, I pack my dog with toys and treats. The treats are never touched, and they did not even give my dog his toy. The staff is miserable and does not know how to interact with the public. Truly sad they allow this behavior towards dogs. I am surprised there has not been any legal action taken against this establishment.

Their non-descript black mailbox across from Market Basket is all you can see from the road. The facility is remarkable. Clean, warm and well maintained. The staff love these dogs like their own. Like their kids. They travel all over the world to rescue dogs and work hard to find them forever homes.I have been bringing my pooch to their doggy daycare since she was just a tiny puppy and she always loves spending time with her hooman and furry friends here. She can tell we're going here for a day of fun when we get about a mile away. Ears perked, tail wagging. I joke that if she ever runs away, she'll go here first.Their grooming salon is also excellent.

I adopted my greyhound from FF in 2015. They made sure I got a cat friendly greyhound. They have been an excellent resource for post adoption info/referrals and provide a wonderful community with events for adopters to meet and stay connected with other adopters.Also, they are the only facility I would ever use to kennel my dogs. I had Italian greyhounds for 19 years before adopting my greyhound. They were never kenneled. After I getting my greyhound I found myself in need of a boarding kennel, so we tried FF. Everytime we go away, our greyhound and 2 whippets get the best care, have clean & safe boarding environment and we don’t have to worry.

As the owner of two ex-racers adopted from Fast Friends 6 years ago I can wholeheartedly recommend both Fast Friends and greyhounds. I am in my 70's and Dodger and DeeDee are the best most loving dogs I have ever owned. They are perfect for any age range as once their careers are over they do not need masses of exercise.

My dogs have been going to Fast Friends for boarding and daycare for at least 5 years because they love it!! The staff are SO kind and caring, all the time, at every visit! My pups have been to other good daycares, but I can tell how much more they love the people here (they start their happy barks and wags down at the roundabout before turning onto Swanzey Road). I just can't say enough great things about every staff member and how comfortable I feel about the quality of care. Although the pricing has gone up slightly, FF still charges far less for better care than I've experienced elsewhere. I recommend FF to every dog lover I know. Thank you for taking such great care of our beloved dogs!!

Do not bring your dogs here. They leave them locked up in cages and lie to you about it. They're also not staffed enough to handle the amount of dogs they allow. If you love your dog like I do, please go somewhere else.

First time taking my kitty for a grooming. Corey made my daughter and I as well as our little Pepper feel at ease. The facility was clean and professionally atmospheric. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I was pleased with my first experience and highly recommend others to consider trying them for their own pet needs. Thank you Corey and staff ?
