What Reviews Say

172 reviews analyzed

K-9 Castle is highly regarded for its attentive staff and the visible happiness of the dogs, with many owners noting their pets are 'ecstatic' to arrive. The facility's use of webcams and digital report cards provides significant peace of mind to 'obsessed' pet parents. While generally praised as a loving family-owned business, some friction exists regarding strict intake policies and occasional lapses in proactive communication regarding minor injuries.

Worth noting

Inconsistent injury reporting

It’s not pleasant at all to pick up your dog and see that he has an injury very close to his eye... We do not alert parents if it is a minor injury.

Dog escaped during intake

they took his leash off while putting on the slip leash, and it wasn't secure, so he got loose and thankfully ran behind the desk and not towards the door.

Strict vaccination/spay requirements(4 mentions)

They told me they cannot have her at the facility because of this [not spayed]. Complete waste of my time.

Communication/Booking issues(5 mentions)

I called to ask about boarding, no answer so I left a message. They never called back.

Mandatory nap time(2 mentions)

For the first 2 1/2 hours, he was put in a kennel for 'nap time'. I didnt like dropping him off to a stranger in a strange place and the left alone.
