What Reviews Say
46 reviews analyzedA&S Kennel has a polarized reputation, with a strong base of loyal, multi-decade customers who praise the facility's cleanliness and the owners' personal care for senior pets. However, the facility faces severe allegations regarding pet safety, including a reported death due to dehydration and an unexplained physical injury. The owner's responses to negative feedback are notably defensive, often threatening legal action, which contrasts sharply with the 'family-like' atmosphere described by long-term supporters.
