What Reviews Say

133 reviews analyzed

Pampered Paws Inn presents a starkly polarized reputation. While the majority of clients praise the friendly staff, affordable rates, and the reassurance of live webcams, a significant minority of reviews report severe safety failures including dog attacks, raw/infected paws from the outdoor surface, and poor communication regarding medical issues. Notably, the facility's manager, Lisa, is hailed as a hero for a foot-rescue of dogs during a forest fire, contrasting with several complaints regarding the owner's professionalism and incident management.

β€œher paws were raw and sore... Took her to the vet today and spent $150 getting her antibiotics and anti inflammatory medication as they are badly infected.”

Delayed evacuation during emergency

β€œleaving evacuation of the dogs to the very last second causing complete chaos shows the lack of professionalism and care.”
