What Reviews Say

K9 Resorts Scotch Plains is widely regarded as a premier, ultra-clean luxury facility where dogs are genuinely excited to visit and return home well-exercised. While the majority of clients praise the professional staff and 'resort-like' atmosphere, there are isolated but serious historical reports of medical issues and neglect. Recent feedback highlights a highly responsive management team that actively addresses billing disputes and communication lapses to ensure customer satisfaction.

Injury/Safety due to improper equipment use

β€œbrought my dog out and had her gentle leader on so wrong it was choking my dog. It was so tight we almost had to cut it off!”

Contracting infections (Colitis/Bacterial/Fungal)

β€œHe was diagnosed with canine colitis... One of the prime causes of canine colitis is stress/trauma.”

Hidden/Unexpected Fees(6 mentions)

β€œI was not told that I would be charged an extra $80 for picking her up after 12:30 pm.”

Feeding/Food management concerns(4 mentions)

β€œthe fact that he vacuumed his food like he was starving is alarming... I should have been given the remainder of today’s portion of food. There was nothing given to me.”

Lack of Webcams(5 mentions)

β€œI wish they would install some type of camera/video setup, so I can check it on my dog.”
