What Reviews Say

379 reviews analyzed

Paw Commons Bay Park is highly regarded for its professional training programs and exceptionally friendly staff, particularly Carly and Heather, who excel with anxious and high-energy dogs. While the facility's webcam access and detailed report cards provide peace of mind, some customers are critical of the 'shelter-like' boarding environment and complex pricing structure. Recent concerns regarding cleanliness and grooming consistency suggest a need for better operational oversight despite the overall positive sentiment.

Worth noting

Hygiene and sanitation concerns

β€œMy dog came home with dried urine and feces stuck to his belly and paws... It took me an hour to fully bathe and brush him out.”

Health/Illness (Kennel Cough)

β€œWe took our dog there for a meet and greet on Friday and now she has kennel cough.”

Inadequate supervision/staffing

β€œThere were piles of urine and feces left in play areas, dogs running through them, and periods where dogs were not actively supervised.”

Pricing and Hidden Fees(6 mentions)

β€œThe additional daily fee to have someone watch your dog, plus mandatory insurance, plus an additional fee if you can’t pick up by 1pm... has you spending more than twice what you should.”

Grooming Quality/Communication(5 mentions)

β€œI specifically told them to call me if they intended to take him down to bare skin... They absolutely skinned him.”

Facility Environment (Shelter-like/Smell)(4 mentions)

β€œThe facility is set up like an animal shelter. The standard 'suites' are kennels with plastic doors and are not soundproof.”
