What Reviews Say

145 reviews analyzed

Green Beagle Lodge in Pittsboro is overwhelmingly beloved by customers, with 92% of reviews giving 5 stars. The facility excels in staff friendliness, communication (with daily photos and email updates), and dog happiness - many dogs are described as excited to arrive and coming home tired and happy. The training program, particularly with Whitney, receives exceptional praise. However, there are notable red flags including a grooming injury incident with poor management response, a past dog injury at the Chapel Hill location, and allegations from a former employee about profit-focused management. These negative experiences represent a small minority but involved serious safety and customer service issues that prospective customers should be aware of.

Worth noting

Dog injury during boarding (hind leg requiring cast)

โ€œAfter our dog came home from the Green Beagle north Chapel Hill location with a hind leg injury a few years back requiring a castโ€

Grooming injury - dog bled from rough mat handling

โ€œThe groomer apparently brushed/pulled SO hard at a matt of hair behind his ear that his skin ripped and he bled in a few different areas behind his earโ€

Poor management response to grooming incident

โ€œManager called two days later and did not apologize for 9 minutes into the conversation and talked in circles alternately blaming the mattโ€

Former employee alleges money-focused management

โ€œUpper management's money hungry motives and seeking out only "yes-men" will take this business to the point of no returnโ€

Overbooking concerns and low staff-to-dog ratio

โ€œOver booking is one of many concerns. It is impossible to uphold the best for every customer with a low staff to high animal ratioโ€

Assessment process dissatisfaction(2 mentions)

โ€œThis is not an assessment; it is a temperament test with inexperienced people in chargeโ€

Reservation changes and refund issues

โ€œthe facility would actually be closing early the day we were due to return... our deposit would not be refunded but would stay on our account as a credit... later informed that not only would our deposit not be refundedโ€
