What Reviews Say
91 reviews analyzedDioji is highly regarded for its cage-free philosophy, swimming pool, and attentive staff who many customers know by name. However, there are significant concerns regarding safety oversight, with multiple reports of dogs returning home with bite wounds that went unnoticed or unreported by staff. While loyal customers praise the facility, others find the pricing high and the strict policies regarding late pickups and 'diva' behavior to be exclusionary.
