What Reviews Say
36 reviews analyzedCountry Haven Kennels is highly regarded by a loyal base of long-term clients who praise the owners, Myrna and Gunther, for their kindness, affordability, and flexibility with last-minute bookings. While the vast majority of reviews are 5-star ratings highlighting a 'home away from home' atmosphere, a small cluster of 1-star reviews raises serious concerns regarding sanitation, water quality, and sufficient exercise during busy periods. Overall, it appears to be a beloved local facility that may struggle with consistency during peak capacity.
