What Reviews Say

43 reviews analyzed

Happytails Pet Retreat is highly regarded for its spacious outdoor areas, affordable pricing, and engaging social media updates that provide peace of mind to owners. While the vast majority of clients report happy, well-cared-for pets, there is a significant outlier regarding a long-term stay involving severe weight loss and a defensive management response. Overall, it is a top choice for high-energy dogs, though owners of senior or anxious pets may want to clarify specific quiet-time needs.

Worth noting

Significant weight loss/Potential neglect

“I picked up my dogs with one in particular being severely underweight, in fact she ended up losing more than 10lbs during her stay.”

Suitability for older/quiet dogs(2 mentions)

“if you have an older dog who likes a quiet environment... I wouldn't recommend this option.”
