What Reviews Say

52 reviews analyzed

Grand 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.

Worth noting

Hygiene/Neglect (Soiled bedding/dogs)

our dogs had gone to the bathroom in the kennel. It was all over them and their bedding. This leads me to believe they were not let out, and then paid no attention to.

Basic/Dated Facilities(6 mentions)

The kennel is bare bones. Each dog gets their own run... a bit old and dingy.

Difficulty with reactive/anxious dogs(2 mentions)

I think she was afraid of my dog. she called me back early and I wasn't pleased.
