What Reviews Say

453 reviews analyzed

Country Paws is highly regarded for its engaging environment, with many owners reporting that their dogs are excited to arrive and return home exhausted. However, there is a significant divide between routine daycare satisfaction and boarding experiences, where serious lapses in communication and medical/safety protocols have been reported. While the facility offers popular amenities like a pool and social media updates, the management's defensive tone in response to critical reviews suggests a friction point in customer service.
