What Reviews Say

700 reviews analyzed

Lucky Dog Pet Lodge is an exceptional dog daycare and boarding facility in the Twin Cities with an overwhelmingly positive 4.9+ star average across 700 reviews. Dogs are consistently described as excited to arrive and exhausted from play when picked up. The staff is frequently praised for remembering dog names, providing personalized care, and creating a safe, fun environment. Key differentiators include large indoor/outdoor play areas, live webcams, no-reservation-needed daycare, and included daycare with boarding. A few concerns include occasional kennel cough outbreaks (which the facility communicates about transparently) and rare reports of minor injuries during play. The owner Tom is highly engaged, responding to nearly all reviews personally. This is a top-tier facility with exceptional customer loyalty - many customers have been using the service for 5+ years.
