What Reviews Say

75 reviews analyzed

Happy Paws Pet Resort is largely praised for its recent change in ownership, which has resulted in a cleaner facility and a highly attentive staff that handles high-needs dogs well. However, the facility faces serious allegations regarding health and safety, including a cluster of kennel cough cases and one extreme report of a pet fatality. While the majority of customers report happy, tired dogs, a small subset of reviewers describes the staff as dismissive or uncommunicative when issues arise.

Worth noting

Allegation of dog death due to dehydration

They killed my little Dog... they never feed the water. Dog Dies after admitted to the Blue Water Hospital.

Outbreak of Kennel Cough with alleged lack of transparency

The vet also told us that this particular place had this issue throughout the summer, and had not cleared up. (So disappointing they couldn’t be truthful to their customers.)

Kennel Cough / Illness(4 mentions)

Upon a vet visit, we found out he had kennel cough and got a bill for $204 for antibiotics.

Staff Rudeness/Communication(3 mentions)

the girl at the desk would only give me vague one word answers. It only made me worry that they weren’t paying him attention.
