What Reviews Say

82 reviews analyzed

The facility is highly polarized, earning praise for its spacious, clean environment and very competitive pricing, with many long-term clients highlighting the staff's kindness and the helpfulness of photo updates. However, a significant cluster of severe negative reviews alleges a lack of accountability regarding dog injuries, unprofessional outbursts from the owner (Bijan), and disputes with animal rescues. While many dogs leave happy and exhausted, there are serious red flags concerning medical transparency and the handling of incidents.
