What Reviews Say

92 reviews analyzed

Howl A Day Inn Resort is an exceptionally well-reviewed family-owned facility with an almost perfect 4.9 average rating across 92 reviews. The facility consistently receives praise for its cleanliness, caring staff (particularly owner Betty), dog happiness, and reasonable pricing. Multiple customers have been using the facility for years (up to 19 years), and dogs are described as excited to arrive. One isolated complaint about alleged misrepresentation regarding a dog's eating habits represents the only significant red flag, though the owner's professional response suggests transparency and care. This is a highly trusted establishment with virtually universal positive sentiment.

Worth noting

Alleged misrepresentation about dog's eating habits and medication compliance

they lied and told me our dog was eating, when she hardly ate at all. when she wouldn't take her prescription pills, they stopped trying, and never bothered to call and tell us.

Dog returned sick after boarding

she came home sick, sneezing, and wouldn't eat for 3 days
