What Reviews Say
415 reviews analyzedCentre Canin La Patte Champêtre enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews (87% 5-star) with exceptional ratings for staff friendliness, dog happiness, and facility quality. Customers consistently praise the daily photo updates, passionate staff, and clean rural setting. However, a minority of reviews (approximately 8% are 1-star) highlight serious concerns: grooming quality inconsistency, a few alleged safety/feeding issues, and occasional pricing disputes. The owner responds professionally to nearly all reviews, typically within a day. Value for money scores lower due to premium pricing, and safety scores slightly lower due to isolated but serious allegations. Repeat customers are common, with many using daycare, boarding, and training services.

Worth noting
Dog returned dehydrated/underfed with no owner notification

Improper feeding causing veterinary issues
“Provides food other than what's at home without checking with the owner (including Bovril!!!). My dog reacted badly and ended up at the vet.”
Dog traumatized from grooming/handling
“They put a restraint leash on my dog, who came back traumatized and trying to bite me—she's usually so sweet!”
Groomer shaved dog without permission, causing injury
“Gross negligence... they completely shaved our Australian Shepherd... the groomer did not bother to cut the nails in addition to having injured my dog on one buttock with the razor.”
Breed discrimination allegations (pit bull)

Grooming service quality inconsistent(6 mentions)
“First of all, the reception area... it was cold and snowing... I asked: a little shorter and respect the Yorkshire cut... My dog was literally shaved... I now have a dog with a Chihuahua cut!!!! And I paid the high price... $69.00!!!”
