What Reviews Say

222 reviews analyzed

The facility receives high praise for its friendly staff, clean luxury accommodations, and the peace of mind provided by webcams. However, there is a catastrophic divide in sentiment due to a widely reported fatal incident involving a small dog and allegations of severe medical neglect. While many regular clients remain loyal, the facility faces significant criticism regarding safety protocols and inconsistent communication during peak periods.
