What Reviews Say
98 reviews analyzedDog Days is highly regarded by a majority of clients for its affordable pricing, cage-free environment, and the owners' personal involvement. Most dogs return home exhausted and happy, with many owners praising the indoor/outdoor access and social media updates. However, a small but significant number of reviews raise serious concerns regarding dehydration, lack of transparency about 'discipline' methods, and one instance of a grooming injury.

Worth noting
Physical injury during grooming/handling
“Later I noticed a severely cut short, and bloody nail on my puppy’s paw. I’m not sure why she lied about not cutting any nails, when she did do one which was horribly done and resulted in injury.”
Dehydration and lethargy upon pickup
“He has come home twice gulping down a bowl of water dehydrated... When I picked him up, he was whining and very lethargic.”
Allegations of aggressive 'disciplining' or manhandling
“I did not appreciate my dog being manhandled. He’s a 12lb chihuahua... She went on to say 'Some dogs are afraid of the gentleman because he is tall and he is the DISCIPLINARIAN'.”
Dehydration(2 mentions)
“He would come home and drink water like crazy.”
Lack of transparency/Access to facility(2 mentions)
“A flat 'NO' was given to me. I told her I would watch through the window... She still refused.”
