What Reviews Say
181 reviews analyzedPAWS Dog Daycare is highly regarded for its structured, 'pack-focused' environment and unique inclusions like daily leashed walks and creative themed photoshoots. While most owners praise the facility for successfully integrating reactive or nervous dogs, a small minority of reviewers find the training-heavy approach and strict administrative policies too intense. The owner is exceptionally active in responses, maintaining a warm and protective tone over the facility's inclusive values and staff.

Worth noting
Allegations of physical abuse during pack walks
“The amount of times we’ve seen the dogs in the pack walks being abused (choked, hit on the head and kicked back) is absolutely disgusting.”
Grooming injuries (cuts/razor burns)
“after the second groom, my dog's paw was visibly cut and bleeding, more severe than the first incident.”
Strict drop-off/booking policies(3 mentions)
“You can't drop off your dog without an appointment and/or after 11am. You will only learn that after you buy a pass.”
Firm/Intense training style(2 mentions)
“I noticed that they were quite 'firm' with him (very tight on the leash)... I didn't ask for these services.”
Political/Social messaging
“The lack of a 5 star rating has to do with how political they have become... Emails and photo shoots with woke agendas.”
