What Reviews Say

166 reviews analyzed

Camp Run-A-Mutt Houston Energy Corridor enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews (92% 5-star) with customers praising the cage-free environment, attentive staff who genuinely love dogs, and live camera access. The facility is praised for accommodating anxious or difficult dogs that were rejected elsewhere. Three serious concerns emerge: a dog injury during boarding, a heat exposure incident, and a controversial contract clause threatening $10,000 for negative reviews. The owner responds professionally to all reviews, including negative ones. Many customers have been bringing their dogs for years, and the facility has built strong loyalty despite the isolated incidents.

Worth noting

Dog injured during boarding - puncture wound and significant weight loss (3.5 lbs in 4 days)

โ€œWhen we got home, we found a puncture wound to our dog's hind leg... He had lost 3.5 lbs since last month. He has NEVER lost weight.โ€

Staff member seen grabbing dog's ear and shouting

โ€œseen on Camera a lady grabbing my dogs ear and shouting in my dogs faceโ€

Dogs left outside in extreme heat while inside area remained empty

โ€œIt was 90 degrees outside, and they had all the dogs out in the sun... I never saw any dog inside at any point. The inside area was totally empty.โ€

Contract contains $10,000 clause prohibiting negative reviews

โ€œThe contract generally shows their failure to appropriately take responsibility for the care they provide... they make you agree to pay $10,000 if you post something that could hurt their businessโ€

Staff attentiveness concerns (understaffing/overcrowding)(3 mentions)

โ€œStaff often stand around and talk to each other instead of interacting with the dogs. There are MANY more dogs than there used to be.โ€

Camera coverage limitations(2 mentions)

โ€œMuttcam 1 doesn't seem to capture the entire play area... Some of the cameras are down quite a lot.โ€

Vaccination record processing issues

โ€œEverything is great until you hand over your vaccine record and then for some reason they can't read it.โ€
