Flagship Website
A fast custom site that looks like the resort you actually run — not a page-builder theme with a wave graphic.

The next stay starts online.
Glendale and North Hollywood already have the suites, the play yards and the dogs. The website is the last thing between a late-night search and a booked stay.

The resort is real.
The front door is fuzzy.
We reviewed resort4dogs.com the way a dog owner does — on a phone, after work, deciding where their dog sleeps tomorrow. Six things are quietly sending them to the next tab.

The Hollywood location is invisible.
HIGHOn the Los Angeles page, the Hollywood Location button shows no label in the live capture: an empty outline beside the North Hollywood button. Its link points to
/hollywood/, so the second location has no readable route. -

SOURCE · HOMEPAGE PRICING
Hotel pricing is daycare pricing.
HIGHThe block titled “Dog Hotel Pricing” lists DAY CARE rates (Half Day, Full Day, 2+ Dogs) and a “Special Price” label. No boarding rate appears there.

SOURCE · /GLENDALE + /NOHO
Two locations, one script.
HIGHGlendale and North Hollywood share 99.9% of their “Why Dog Resort” copy in the captured section. Search engines see near-duplicates; customers see no reason to choose.

SOURCE · 3 PAGES
Three sizes for one daycare.
MEDIUM“Over 3,000 sq. ft.” on the homepage, “8,000 sqft of Dog Space” on Glendale, “16,000 sqft of Dog Space” on North Hollywood. Same daycare, three answers.

SOURCE · CONTACT + FOOTER
Tours start at 12:30 AM.
MEDIUMContact says “Everyday: 12:30am–2:30pm”. The footer says Mon–Sat, 12:30–2:30pm. Wrong meridian, and the tour line omits Sunday — on the one page a tour visitor checks.

SOURCE · /CONTACT-US
Email us — without an email.
MEDIUMThe contact copy offers “phone, email, or visit”, but the page lists no email address. The form itself says JavaScript is required.
At 9:41 PM,
a dog owner is deciding.
They are not comparing logos. They are asking three questions: Can you take my dog tomorrow? What does it cost? Which door do I walk into? The site answers none of them in one place.
