What Reviews Say

154 reviews analyzed

Paradise For Pets is highly regarded for its 'country-style' approach, prioritizing extensive outdoor playtime and careful temperament matching in small groups. While customers praise the affordable pricing and friendly staff, the facility has significant logistical quirks, including being closed on Saturdays for religious reasons. While most pets return happy and exhausted, a few serious safety and communication incidents (including a lost dog and an ear injury) serve as notable outliers to an otherwise stellar reputation.

Paradise for Pets lost our dog... the other has been missing for over 100 days.

Physical injury during stay

one of her ears was caught between the door. There were two tears in that ear which required stitches.

The only problem is the really odd hours, namely they are not open Saturdays.

I was told I didn’t have a reservation for Christmas... someone on your end did not make my reservation.

The staff exhibited fear and hesitation when trying to get acquainted with the dogs... For novice breeds only.
