What Reviews Say

63 reviews analyzed

Confederation Kennels is a highly polarized facility that earns rave reviews for its exceptional amenities, including a dog pool and splash pad, and its consistent photo updates on social media. While many long-term clients praise the family-run atmosphere and fair pricing, a cluster of severe 1-star reviews alleges critical safety failures, including a fatal dog-on-dog attack and lack of medical transparency. Potential clients must weigh the high-quality physical facility and recreational perks against these serious allegations regarding safety protocols.

Worth noting

Fatal dog attack/Aggression management

“Last time using this kennel they also had known aggressive dog that bit my dog and killed her.”

Unreported injuries/illness

“Mine came home with sever gunk and scars on the face... If your dog gets sick/ injured or even DIES in their care, they will not call you.”

Staff Attitude/Customer Service

“They are not that friendly or welcoming... handed all of our stuff outside, she didn’t even welcomed us to the front desk!!”

Rough handling

“the older guy just pulled him by his collar neck, we didn’t like that. Our dog is very small and he didn’t need to pull with that much force.”
