What Reviews Say

61 reviews analyzed

Fabian Boarding Kennel is a polarizing 'no-frills' country facility praised for its affordability, last-minute availability, and unique atmosphere featuring roaming peacocks. While many long-term clients trust the owner and report happy pets, a significant number of recent reviews raise serious alarms regarding sanitation, strong urine odors, and pets returning with fleas, dehydration, or weight loss. It appears to be a budget-friendly option that lacks the professional rigor of modern facilities, leading to highly inconsistent experiences.
