What Reviews Say

29 reviews analyzed

Denegar Kennels is a budget-friendly, family-run facility highly praised for its flexibility and the personal care provided by the owner, Paula, particularly for medical needs and long-term stays. While the majority of clients view it as a trustworthy 'home away from home,' a small number of reviews raise serious concerns regarding cleanliness and billing transparency. The facility is described as a 'no-frills' boarding option rather than a luxury pet spa.
