What Reviews Say

331 reviews analyzed

Green Beagle Lodge is overwhelmingly beloved by clients, with the vast majority of 331 reviews giving 5 stars. Dogs are described as excited to arrive and returning happy and exhausted. The facility is praised for its cleanliness, beautiful outdoor spaces, and pool. Staff are consistently described as caring, knowledgeable, and providing excellent communication with photo updates. However, there are notable red flags including several injury incidents, a kennel cough outbreak with delayed notification, a medication error, and a cat death after boarding. These serious issues are offset by the owner's responsive communication and attempts to address concerns. The main complaints are about limited availability, price increases, and occasional communication failures. Long-term loyalty is very high, with many clients using the facility for years.

Worth noting

Dog injured at daycare requiring veterinary care/hospitalization

โ€œOur dog was recently injured at their doggy daycare and needed to spend a night in the hospital after being picked up. Unfortunately, her injury requires surgery with a lengthy recovery period.โ€

Kennel cough/Bordetella outbreak with delayed notification

โ€œ4 days later my dog started exhibiting breathing issues, 6 days later I had to take my service dog to the emergency room. 7 days later I received an email from the lodge indicating that they had been having Bordetella- Kennel Cough issues for weeks.โ€

Medication administration error

โ€œthe staff did not give her any of her two medications. One medication is required daily and was provided in an unopened box and the box was returned to me unopenedโ€

Dog left in unsanitary conditions (urine-soaked)

โ€œThey left my dog covered in her own urine for an entire weekendโ€

Cat health decline resulting in death after boarding

โ€œOur 12-year old cat passed unexpectedly after the last boarding... she had lost a lot of weight when we picked her upโ€

Lack of availability/difficulty booking reservations(4 mentions)

โ€œThere is never any availability at this place. Even when you register the moment it goes live. It's extremely frustrating.โ€

Price increases perceived as excessive(2 mentions)

โ€œthey started out expensive and have only increased prices at an exorbitant rate.โ€

Communication failures about important issues(3 mentions)

โ€œreally terrible front staff communication... no one EVER answers the phoneโ€

Staff turnover affecting service quality

โ€œAfter repeatedly having lost groomers to turnover, I'm really happy I found the Green Beagle Lodge.โ€
