What Reviews Say
96 reviews analyzedFor Paws Only Pet Resort enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews with 78% 5-star ratings. The facility excels in dog happiness (dogs literally drag owners in), grooming quality, and staff compassion—particularly owner Peggy and staff member Starla who are frequently praised by name. However, there are serious concerns: one review describes a dog sustaining unexplained nerve damage during boarding with no kennel cameras, and communication scores suffer from occasional defensive responses to customer concerns. A minority of reviews cite rudeness and being turned away for services. The majority of customers are loyal repeat visitors who appreciate the fair pricing and clean, caring environment.

Worth noting
Dog sustained serious injury (nerve damage in front leg) during boarding with no clear explanation
“We boarded our 'healthy Walking' dog, but when we picked him up on 10/12/22, he 'isn't able to stand or walk'. X-rays found to have nerve damage in the right front leg.”
No security cameras in kennel areas
“We were told by the owner there were no cameras looking at the kennels and the cameras they have, are placed on the side and at the front desk.”
Staff rudeness/dismissiveness(4 mentions)
“really rude when they talk to you... they can't do her shampoo and nail trimming because they all booked up or short on staff really rude when they talk to you”
Turned away for services/new clients(3 mentions)
“They said they don't take new clients... so this 1 star review won't hurt them. Must be nice to be able to turn down business.”
Defensive response to concerns
“I was met with a defensive and dismissive response along the lines of, 'you're the only one who's called' and 'we require vaccinations.'”
