What Reviews Say

45 reviews analyzed

Merryall Kennels is an exceptional facility with an almost perfect 4.9 average rating across 45 reviews. The husband-and-wife team of Michelle (retired vet tech) and Paul run a immaculate, dog-centric operation that consistently earns praise for grooming quality, clean facilities, and genuine love for animals. Communication is a standout strength—owners send photos/videos during stays. The single 1-star review involves a vaccine documentation dispute where the owner's response was notably defensive. With 22+ repeat customer signals and a 100% owner response rate, this facility enjoys strong community loyalty and trust.

Defensive owner response to negative review

Vaccine communication issues

“We are 5 days away from our vac my husband calls to verify our dogs spot there. Only to find out they cannot take him in due to missing Vax. He was told by the man there when he first called. That if anything was missing in regards to the dogs vax he would get a call and if we do not get a call from him, then all is well. Sadly, we never received any call from either owner.”
