What Reviews Say

Oxford Kennel receives overwhelmingly positive reviews with 80% being 5-star ratings. Customers praise the caring staff, clean facility, excellent grooming, and happy dogs. However, there are serious red flags including a report of the owner physically assaulting an employee, a dog injury incident, breed discrimination against pit bulls, and dogs returning with health issues. The few negative reviews cite communication problems, pricing inconsistencies, and unexpected fees. Most customers are repeat visitors who appreciate the staff's attention to anxious dogs and the facility's spacious play areas.
