What Reviews Say
60 reviews analyzedOceanmark K-9 Resort is highly regarded by long-term clients for its spacious, clean facilities and the owners' deep expertise in dog behavior and training, particularly for reactive breeds. However, a small cluster of recent reviews highlights serious operational lapses, including dog identification mix-ups and hygiene issues. While the majority of feedback is glowing, the contrast between the 'expert' reputation and reports of poor communication and safety errors suggests inconsistent management.

Worth noting
Dog identification mix-up
“I returned after a 5 day trip to be given two dogs wearing my dog's harnesses... I told them these are not my dogs.”
Medication and hygiene concerns
“My dog was coming home at the end of the day with her legs and bum covered in dried diarrhea... as if she had been forced to lay in her own feces.”
Lack of transparency/Hostility
“The owners refused to answer even basic questions... Brian told me he 'has a serious issue with me snooping around'.”
Feeding/Medication errors(2 mentions)
“They came back with 3 meals of food each. I paid a lot of money and don’t feel my dogs were cared for correctly.”
