What Reviews Say
412 reviews analyzedCarolina Ranch enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews with a 4.8/5 average rating. The facility is praised for its exceptional, caring staff (especially Dr. Perry, Dr. Oliver, and Dr. Bauer), beautiful clean facility, and comprehensive services. However, significant concerns emerge around boarding/daycare safety incidents (injuries, illnesses contracted on-site), pricing transparency, and occasional front desk rudeness. While most pets and owners love the daycare and veterinary care, a subset of negative reviews highlights serious issues including pet injuries requiring surgery, misdiagnosis allegations, and hidden fees that have caused some clients to leave. The owner responds professionally to nearly all reviews.

Worth noting
Dog injured during daycare/boarding - injuries including bite wounds, abrasions requiring surgery, toe amputation
โShe ended up needing three surgeries to wash out the infection, a toe amputation, and bandage changes every couple of days for a couple months to fix what happened. This place essentially disfigured my dog.โ
Pets contracting kennel cough/illness while boarding
โOne came home on medication for kennel cough.โ
Fleas contracted during boarding stay
โI noticed he had fleas, not a ton but enough to warrant going out and getting flea treatment.โ
Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis concerns
โThanks to their misdiagnosis and concern to make sure I paid the bill my dog died on the way to the emergency hospital.โ
