What Reviews Say
52 reviews analyzedGrand Canyon Kennel is highly regarded as a practical, budget-friendly solution for National Park visitors needing a safe place for their dogs while hiking. While the facility is frequently described as 'bare bones' or 'shelter-like,' guests consistently praise the cleanliness and the exceptionally friendly, animal-loving staff. However, there are isolated concerns regarding the handling of high-energy/reactive dogs and one serious report of hygiene neglect during a weekend stay.
