What Reviews Say

72 reviews analyzed

Camp Diggy Bones is highly regarded for its exceptional value and the personal care provided by the owner, Tony, with many long-term customers of 5+ years. While the facility is praised for being accommodating and affordable, there are polarizing views regarding their strict policy against boarding senior dogs during summer months. A few serious but isolated red flags regarding safety and cleanliness exist, but the vast majority of clients report happy, well-cared-for pets.
