What Reviews Say

69 reviews analyzed

Patriot Pet Care enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews with 85% 5-star ratings, particularly praised for their caring staff, clean facilities, and reasonable pricing. The facility excels at making dogs happy and handling nervous pets. However, significant red flags exist: a few reviews describe dogs returning soaked in urine or with feces in their coat, and grooming quality is inconsistent. The worst reviews cite complete communication failures and pets becoming sick after services. These issues, while not common, represent serious hygiene and care failures that prospective customers should weigh against the many positive experiences.
