What Reviews Say
54 reviews analyzedMa & Paw Kennel receives overwhelmingly positive reviews for its rattlesnake avoidance training, with many customers praising its life-saving effectiveness and professional execution. However, the business has serious red flags including a dangerous snake handling incident, allegations of theft/refund refusal, and consistent complaints about owner Gina's rude behavior and pricing/scheduling issues. While staff (except Gina) are described as friendly and dogs clearly enjoy the facility, the combination of high-severity safety concerns and customer service failures in multiple reviews suggests significant operational problems that prospective customers should carefully consider.
