What Reviews Say
292 reviews analyzedApplewood Pet Resort is highly regarded for its 'luxury hotel' aesthetic, cleanliness, and the convenience of an on-site veterinary clinic. While many long-term clients praise the friendly atmosphere and high-end amenities like the bone-shaped pool, there is a significant dichotomy in experiences. A small but vocal group of reviewers report serious safety concerns, including extreme weight loss, undetected injuries, and poor medication management, often citing a lack of transparency due to the absence of webcams.
