What Reviews Say

269 reviews analyzed

Hounds Town - St. Charles is highly regarded for its 'all-day play' model that consistently results in happy, exhausted dogs (the 'Hounds Town Hangover'). Customers frequently praise the staff's genuine love for animals and the transparency provided through daily Facebook photo updates. While the facility has faced criticism regarding its indoor-only potty policy and occasional hygiene issues, recent responses indicate a change in ownership and a renewed focus on sanitation and facility upgrades.

Worth noting

Sanitation concerns (dogs covered in urine)

My dog was COVERED in sticky, dried urine and smelled TERRIBLE... white fur turned yellow and brown.

Unaccounted for injury

Took him to his vet and they said it is Absolutely a puncture wound. NO ACCOUNTABILITY, NO INTEGRITY.

Lack of outdoor space(5 mentions)

I learned there is no outside area for the dogs. 'The owner told me the dogs adjust to peeing and pooping indoors' yeah right, not so.

Hygiene/Smell(6 mentions)

The place smells bad, that should have a been a sign when I dropped him off.

Previous owner behavior(3 mentions)

Male owner is very rude and inconsiderate... screamed at me.
