What Reviews Say
61 reviews analyzedDreamland Kennel receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (approximately 75% are 5-star) with customers praising the friendly staff, reasonable pricing, spacious facilities, and happy dogs. However, a small but significant number of concerning reviews highlight serious issues: communication breakdowns where owners weren't notified of injuries or fights, dogs returning injured or sick, and pricing disputes. The most troubling review describes a decade-long customer whose dogs suffered a broken toenail, weight loss, and mouth sores with minimal communication. While most dogs and owners have excellent experiences, these recurring complaints about transparency and follow-up suggest inconsistent care standards that warrant attention.

Worth noting
Dog injury - puppy lost entire toenail with exposed quick and bleeding, no notification given to owner

โmy senior dog came home with sores on his mouth. I was told, casually, that he had been barking and pushing against the kennelโ
