What Reviews Say

130 reviews analyzed

Hannah's House Kennels receives overwhelmingly positive reviews for staff friendliness and dog happiness, with many long-term customers praising the caring environment. However, significant red flags include multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, dog injuries from fights, grooming accidents, and one incident where the wrong dog was given to a customer. The facility appears dated but functional, with mixed feedback on cleanliness. While most customers have excellent experiences, the serious safety and sanitation issues mentioned in negative reviews warrant attention from prospective customers.
