Owner thinks her dog was hurt during stay, how do I address this?
Hi,
I just had a small dog here for daycare. I have 2 large dogs and was watching another 2 large dogs as well. When the small dog first got there, the large dogs chased him through the backyard so I separated the small dog into the office with me as I worked (I work from home) and kept the larger dogs out in the rest of the house. I only allowed 1 large dog to interact with the small dog because he's very gentle and they ended up just laying down next to each other. The couple picked up their small dog and then called about 20 minutes later asking if he had been hurt or bit during his stay. I said no, he was separated from the other dogs and the only thing I could think of was when he first arrived and the large dogs chased him but I never saw him get bit and he wasn't acting injured. I was carrying him around the house afterwards when I took him to the office or let him go outside and he never whimpered or barked about anything so I had no idea he was hurt or had "sore spots" as the owner said. I feel sick and have no idea what to do as no dog has ever been injured on my watch. I already apologized and told the owner this but I literally feel so sick to my stomach. Any suggestions on what I should do?
Thanks!
