What Reviews Say

438 reviews analyzed

Paws & Parks LLC receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (approximately 88% are 5-star) with particular praise for Darrian's patience with anxious dogs, effective training programs, and strong communication including video updates during boarding. However, there are serious red flags including multiple injury incidents during grooming (tongue laceration, cut ear, damaged declaw), a pattern of defensive owner responses to complaints, and allegations of fake reviews given the unusual review distribution (almost entirely 5-star or 1-star). The owner responds to all reviews professionally but often defensively when addressing negative feedback. While most customers are highly satisfied and become repeat clients, the safety incidents and confrontational responses to criticism are concerning patterns that prospective clients should weigh carefully.

Worth noting

Dog injured during grooming - tongue laceration requiring surgery

โ€œOur dog was bleeding profusely from the mouth... she needed surgery to suture the underside of her tongueโ€

Dog injured during grooming - cut ear

โ€œmy cat came back with a cut earโ€

Dog injured during grooming - damaged declaw requiring surgery

โ€œmy dog sustained serious injuries, specifically a laceration and, more critically, a severely damaged declaw that needs surgeryโ€

Dog contracted fleas after grooming

โ€œhere we are a few days later and my dog has fleas! What! Oh no. Not acceptable. He's never had fleas or ticks but now!โ€

Facility smell/marijuana odor

โ€œThe place reeked of weed when I dropped them offโ€

Improper crate size for large dogs (St. Bernard)

โ€œThis is objectively way too small of a crate for a dog of this size. The dog has no space to move aroundโ€

Potential animal neglect during boarding

โ€œWe had to take our dog out of this facility because she was being mistreated and neglectedโ€

Owner defensive/dismissive when customers raise concerns(12 mentions)

โ€œHe got very upset, told me that wasn't going to happen, and tried to take my cats to the back anywayโ€

Grooming not as requested/wrong cut(6 mentions)

โ€œI arrive and I just knew that wasn't my dog. Why was he wearing a summer after winter cutโ€

Incomplete services (missed nails, missed sanitary shave)(5 mentions)

โ€œhe never trimmed their nails! That's basic grooming 101 and a non-negotiable part of the full service I paid forโ€

Aggressive/argumentative owner responses(8 mentions)

โ€œHe was so unprofessional, I had to take the time to write this. The owner here was so unprofessionalโ€
