What Reviews Say

91 reviews analyzed

Kennel Engold enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews (82% 5-star) with particular praise for owner Anik's professionalism, individualized dog care, and long-term customer loyalty spanning over 20 years. However, significant concerns emerge around transparency (inability to tour facilities), communication gaps (no automatic updates during stays), and isolated but serious incidents involving dogs returning with health issues (kennel cough, dermatitis, weight loss). The owner responds professionally to negative reviews but appears defensive. The facility's individual dog handling approach is praised by many but criticized by others as isolating.

Worth noting

Dog returned with wet dermatitis from prolonged urine exposure

Our dog was soaking wet and smelled strongly of urine... The vet diagnosed wet dermatitis. She had to shave the affected area and prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.

Dog contracted kennel cough at facility

Our dog came back with a sore nose and with kennel cough

Dog returned with weight loss and behavioral changes

He has lost a lot of weight, and even our regular groomer has noticed his weight loss and strange behavior.

Dog returned with physical aftereffects - sores and lost voice

He came back with physical aftereffects (sores due to dampness, no longer barks because he's lost his voice, and is quite lethargic).

No facility tour/transparency on arrival(3 mentions)

On arrival, you can't even see the premises

No updates/photos during stay(3 mentions)

we never received a report, so it was impossible to know if everything went smoothly

the dogs are separated, each in their own cage, and taken out individually in turn
