What Reviews Say
105 reviews analyzedThe facility receives overwhelming praise from long-term regulars who highlight the staff's genuine love for animals and the convenience of video updates.

Prospective clients should weigh the high volume of 'happy dog' reports against these specific safety concerns and the facility's strict screening/cancellation policies.
