What Reviews Say

143 reviews analyzed

Hanover Your Pet receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (approximately 70% are 5-star) with praise for friendly staff, clean facilities, and happy dogs. However, serious red flags include a pet death, a cat returned severely dehydrated, and multiple kennel cough outbreaks. Recurring complaints involve breed discrimination against pitbulls, poor communication about pet health issues, and some staff rudeness. The facility excels at customer service for most pets but has significant safety and communication gaps that have caused harm to some animals.
