What Reviews Say
107 reviews analyzedLucky Dog Pet Resort is highly regarded for its clean, climate-controlled facilities and engaging activities like pool parties and Facebook photo updates. While the vast majority of owners report their dogs return happy and exhausted, there are notable frustrations regarding strict 5:00 PM pickup cut-offs and a lack of transparency regarding add-on pricing. The facility appears to prioritize staff safety by declining dogs that show anxiety or aggression, which has led to some friction with long-term clients.

Staff shoutouts
Worth noting
Strict/Inflexible pickup policy resulting in overnight forced stays
“if you arrive at 5:02pm you will not get your pet until the next day... I CAN HEAR MY DOG BARKING FOR ME!!!!”
Allegations of illness (Kennel Cough/Bloody Stool)
“my dog who started to have bloody stool a few days after we brought him home. When I asked if they had other dog owners reporting the same thing they quickly denied.”
Hidden fees/Pricing transparency(2 mentions)
“the staff member did not communicate to me that these would be an extra charge... 15$ for 15 minutes of play and around 40$ for a pool day.”
Dismissal of anxious or 'aggressive' dogs
“I was told the staff wouldn't be allowed to take him to the kennel... because he has shown aggression. I would think... they would be able to have tactics to work with dogs like mine.”
Lost vaccination records
“Good service except they ALWAYS lose your Vax information. Every time!”
