What Reviews Say

124 reviews analyzed

Dog Days Inn receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (approximately 75% are 5-star), with particular praise for groomer Keightlyn and the staff's genuine love for dogs. Customers consistently report their dogs are happy and excited to return, and appreciate extras like Facebook photo updates and reasonable pricing. However, significant issues emerge around vaccination policy communication (inconsistent requirements, turned away despite prior approval), occasional staff rudeness (particularly from manager Brandy), and concerns about dogs being let outside frequently enough. The negative reviews (about 15%) tend to focus on policy enforcement problems and customer service failures rather than actual pet care quality.

Worth noting

Dogs not let outside as claimed - multiple reviews indicate dogs kept in kennels most of day with limited outdoor access

โ€œMy dog seemed to enjoy going, however every time I picked him up he immediately ran... to use the bathroom... My dog absolutely will not use the bathroom on any inside surface, so I know that he had not had a chance to go outside.โ€

Pets not fed properly - cat owner reported cats were starving due to incorrect portions

โ€œI pick them up today and come to find out they weren't being fed the correct portions of food and are practically starving.โ€

Overbooking/turning away pets after confirmation - customers turned away day before travel despite having reservation and required vaccines

โ€œGot a call the day before CONFIRMING our reservation! Mind you we were leaving the next day at 5am out of state for 7 days.. either way we called a handful of other kennels and we actually got told they had made up some lie to people because they overbooked.โ€

Vaccination policy inconsistency and poor communication(6 mentions)

โ€œThey required a dog flu vaccine when my vet didn't recommend it... The second time, I got to the kennel and they told me bordetella was to be every 6 months (vet does yearly vaccines)โ€

Staff rudeness and poor customer service(5 mentions)

โ€œBrandy (who's extremely rude too) said 'yeah well our customers have to request it from their vets and get the okay to get it every 6 months'โ€

Dogs kept in kennels too much / limited playtime(3 mentions)

โ€œThe dogs are kept in kennels most of the day and only go out to the common area for about an hour twice daily.โ€

Untrained staff / policy confusion(3 mentions)

โ€œShe can't find the email from my vet... I finally took my dog back and suggested maybe they should train their staff to know company policies before putting them as receptionists.โ€

Spay/neuter policy for daycare(2 mentions)

โ€œI think it's ridiculous that my female dog has to be spayed to participate in doggie day care if she is not in heat.โ€
