What Reviews Say

153 reviews analyzed

Camp K9 is overwhelmingly praised for its high-energy daycare environment, with numerous owners reporting that their dogs return home 'pooped' and excited to return. The grooming staff, particularly Allie, receives high marks for patience with anxious pets and skill in technical trims. However, the facility faces serious but isolated allegations regarding safety protocols, including a tragic instance of a senior dog passing away after boarding and claims of staff negligence during dog altercations.

Worth noting

Death of a senior dog shortly after boarding (AHDS/Stress)

Bentley was a healthy... 12 yr old Yorkipoo. Bentley died of Acute Hemorrhagic Diarrhea Syndrome... I am left with severe stress was the cause of his illness.

Allegations of staff inaction during dog fights

Two small dogs started fighting... the Camp K9 employee was casually talking to a customer but could see and hear the entire horrifying incident unfolding... did NOTHING.

Alleged unauthorized use of shock collars

Friends of mine have had shock collars put on their dogs during the day without CK9 asking the pet owner.

Health/Illness after stay(3 mentions)

My dog is now 3 for 3 on getting sick after staying there and it can't be a coincidence.

Management/Policy disputes(3 mentions)

Crappy new management who won't work with their customer... they didn't notify us through email or anything that packages expire.

Cleanliness/Smell (Negative)(3 mentions)

The smell in the front entrance was off putting... counselors ran out of time to clean.
