What Reviews Say

614 reviews analyzed

NaJu Pets presents a stark contrast between overwhelmingly positive experiences and serious safety concerns. While the majority praise the caring staff, quality grooming, and convenient services (shuttle, mobile grooming), a significant pattern of kennel cough outbreaks and injury complaints raises safety red flags. The facility appears to handle high volumes of dogs, which may contribute to disease transmission issues. Long-term customers (some for 20+ years) are loyal, but multiple reviews describe dogs returning sick or injured. The owner responds professionally to all reviews but uses templated responses that some reviewers criticize as insincere. Potential customers should weigh the excellent customer service and services against the documented health and safety incidents.

Worth noting

Kennel cough outbreaks - multiple dogs getting sick after boarding/daycare

β€œMy dog has being puking and having diarrhea which his most recent poop contained something he swallowed while under Najus care. We were told he was eating great and then after calling to ask about his bowel movements we were told he barely ate.”

Grooming injuries - cuts, nail injuries, improper handling

β€œWhen I picked them up and our older Dane-a super nervous girl... Our girl is bleeding bad... she Is gushing blood all over our truck... applying pressure... to her PAW. Not her nail.”

Dogs left in unsanitary conditions - urine smell, mold, dirty bowls

β€œThe boarding area smells strongly like mildrew or mold... It was like a dog pound but worse! No toys in their areas, no blankets, no beds.”

Reactive/specific dogs placed in wrong groups despite instructions

β€œThey put our reactive dog out with a group after we asked them not to.”

Dogs not given adequate bathroom breaks/water

β€œHe obviously was not let out at all in being there from 7:45am to 4pm and if I had to guess probably got no water by his reaction to chugging his water when he got home.”

Kennel cough outbreaks(25 mentions)

β€œMy dog went there about 3 years ago while I was on vacation... I recently went there... I requested a tour... there were SO many dogs(atleast 100 or more) in cages just barking and barking.”

Facility cleanliness issues(8 mentions)

β€œThe space is small... and did smell of urine.”

Grooming quality/injury concerns(7 mentions)

β€œI was handed back a dog with a scab. The mole was removed. I took my dog home and she bled for 2 days.”

Communication/responsiveness failures(6 mentions)

β€œThey refuse to answer communication. We had to take our dogs to the emergency vet.”

Pricing transparency(4 mentions)

β€œI was quoted a price of $38... When I was called to pick him up the person calling told me the price was $56.”
