What Reviews Say

26 reviews analyzed

Deer Path Kennels enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews (85% 5-star rating) with consistent praise for spotless facilities, genuinely caring staff, and happy dogs that love attending. The small family-run operation creates a personal, trustworthy environment that many customers have used for years. However, two negative reviews (2/5 and 1/5) highlight concerning issues with owner demeanor and communication transparency—specifically around safety protocols and dog care schedules—which represent the main red flags in an otherwise excellent reputation.
