What Reviews Say
74 reviews analyzedLittle Paws Pet Resort is a long-standing, family-run facility highly praised by long-term clients for its 'mom and pop' feel and genuine affection for animals, particularly small breeds. However, recent reviews indicate significant growing pains following management changes and staff turnover, leading to serious lapses in safety, medication administration, and communication. While many dogs return home happy and 'spoiled,' a subset of owners of larger breeds report concerns regarding crate sizes and unexplained minor injuries.
