What Reviews Say
208 reviews analyzedFon Jon is a long-standing facility highly praised for its expert training programs and high-energy daycare that leaves dogs 'happily exhausted.' While the majority of clients report a loving, family-like atmosphere with standout staff members like Anthony and Ricky, there are alarming reports of severe medical neglect and poor communication regarding kennel-borne illnesses. Prospective clients should weigh the facility's decades of experience against recent complaints regarding administrative disorganization and health monitoring.
