What Reviews Say

118 reviews analyzed

Howlin' Hive is exceptionally well-regarded for its ability to handle high-energy and anxious dogs, with many owners noting their pets return home exhausted and happy. The facility is praised for its cleanliness and the staff's genuine love for animals, often going above and beyond in emergencies. While a small cluster of 1-star reviews makes serious allegations regarding hygiene and crating, the owner has flagged these as non-customer interactions, and the overwhelming majority of long-term clients report a safe, premium experience.

“They lay on concrete and let the rats that circulate that place, defecate on them... employees are told to 'shake off the rat poo'.”

Billing and hidden fees

“Charged me $10.00 more for peak season in Nov.? Plus 1/2 day boarding because I didn't pick him up until 3 pm.”

Lack of updates during long stays

“Left a dog for 9 day, no updates during that time.”
