What Reviews Say
71 reviews analyzedBlue Ribbon Pets presents a starkly polarized reputation. The vast majority of clients praise the facility for its 'farm-style' atmosphere, affordable pricing, and the staff's ability to calm anxious or difficult-to-groom pets. However, a small but significant cluster of reviews alleges extreme unprofessionalism from the owner and serious safety concerns, including physical injury and strict medication policies that some owners found dangerous.
