What Reviews Say
80 reviews analyzedCamp Run-A-Mutt East County is highly regarded for its cage-free environment, attentive owners (Mike and Molly), and the convenience of live webcams. Most customers report their dogs return home happy and exhausted, praising the staff's ability to remember individual pets. However, a small number of serious safety concerns regarding dog-on-dog aggression and the staff's response to injuries suggest a potential lapse in incident management.
