What Reviews Say

108 reviews analyzed

Hunt Club Boarding Kennel enjoys a predominantly positive reputation with 75% of reviews being 5-star, built over decades of service. The facility excels in grooming (particularly staff members April and Lindsay) and receives consistent praise for genuine animal care. However, a cluster of serious negative reviews (10% 1-star) reveals concerning issues: injuries during grooming, unsanitary boarding conditions, missed medications, and communication failures. The owner responds professionally to all reviews but provides defensive responses to complaints. Long-term customers remain loyal, though recent negative experiences suggest potential quality inconsistencies that warrant attention.

Worth noting

Dog returned with bloody/injured face after grooming

โ€œSo I can't go into full depth about how HORRIFIC, my and my wifey's experience just was!! But I'll post exactly what my dog looked like after picking HIM UP FIVE HOURS LATER!!โ€

Dogs left in unsanitary conditions - urine/feces smell, dirty coats

โ€œTheir paws were wet and the smell was disgusting. They smelled like if they have been laying on urine and feces for the entire stay.โ€

Dog injured (limping, bloody paw) during boarding - possible neglect

โ€œWhen we picked him up he did not seem right when he got home. He was limping and looked so out of sorts.โ€

Medication not properly administered

โ€œWe sent just enough for the days he would be there. Over half the pills were left in the bottle which means that he only received maybe 1 days worth of his meds.โ€

Poor communication and unreturned calls(4 mentions)

โ€œWe have tried calling to speak with the manager on three occasions. Each time we were told she would call back but this never happened.โ€

Organization issues - lost items, forgotten services, scheduling errors(4 mentions)

โ€œThey misplaced my dogs personal items and they forgot to feed 1 of my dogs for 1 whole day.โ€

Muddy/unpaved parking and entrance area

โ€œJust wish the front entrance and parking areas were paved, it's always muddy.โ€

Hidden fees or pricing confusion(2 mentions)

โ€œWe paid extra for daily one-on-one walking, but go no verification that this happened--just a charge on our receipt.โ€
