What Reviews Say

5 reviews analyzed

The facility enjoys strong positive sentiment from 4 of 5 reviewers, with dogs clearly happy and excited to attend, and staff receiving consistent praise for friendliness. However, one detailed 1-star review raises serious concerns about basic care (dehydration, missed meals, broken promises on updates), which represents a significant red flag despite being an isolated incident. The contrast between the overwhelmingly positive experiences and this single negative account suggests potential inconsistency in care quality or communication.

Worth noting

Dehydration - dog drank 750ml of water immediately upon return, had ammonia smell, produced hard stool pellets

โ€œHe reeks of ammonia. We took him out to poo after coming back home, and seemed like he pooped very little and really hard pellets of shit. I am sure, he didnโ€™t get any or very little water.โ€

Neglect/underfeeding - dog returned 2 pounds underweight, missed 2 meals despite food being provided

โ€œHe came back underweight by about 2 pounds... We got half the food back so he missed 2 meals.โ€

Broken promises on photo/video updates

โ€œI asked for photos or videos... We got 3 photos and a video in the first few hours and then nothing.โ€

Lack of internal communication among staff

โ€œthere is a lack of communication between their team membersโ€
