What Reviews Say
229 reviews analyzedCanine Retreat is highly regarded for its exceptionally clean facility and professional, loving staff who many customers describe as 'family.' The live webcams are a standout feature that provides significant peace of mind to owners, particularly those with rescue dogs or separation anxiety. While the majority of feedback is glowing, some customers have expressed frustration over recent price increases, a lack of outdoor space, and a strict 'one-and-done' evaluation policy for high-energy puppies.

Worth noting
Physical injury attributed to flooring
“my dogs paw pads are inflamed, scraped, very red and very sore... The explanation that he was very active and that this was caused by their rubber floor simply is not good enough.”
Strict/Inflexible Evaluation Process(4 mentions)
“Determined in 10 min that my dog was not fit for boarding. No effort was made to even slightly bond with the dog.”
Pricing and Hidden Fees(3 mentions)
“they've raised their prices so much, that it is no longer affordable to use them for boarding beyond a short few days!”
Lack of Outdoor Space(2 mentions)
“This facility has NO outdoor area for the dogs. If you have a high energy dog this is not the place for them.”
