What Reviews Say
146 reviews analyzedDog Lodge receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (75% are 5-star) with praise for friendly staff, reasonable prices, and quality grooming. However, serious red flags emerge in 5 negative reviews describing flea infestations, kennel cough, grooming injuries, and dogs returned dehydrated/exhausted. The owner responds professionally to most reviews but was notably unresponsive to a critical complaint about a dog eye injury. While many customers are loyal repeat visitors spanning decades, the sanitation and safety incidents in a minority of reviews are concerning and lower scores for cleanliness (2.8) and safety (2.8).
