What Reviews Say

90 reviews analyzed

Paws 'N Play is highly regarded by its regular clientele for its 'home-away-from-home' atmosphere and energetic play environment that leaves dogs well-exercised. While the vast majority of reviews are glowing, there is a critical red flag regarding a past fatal dog-on-dog incident which the owner addressed as a tragic one-time accident. Most customers praise the friendly staff and the facility's ability to handle high-energy breeds and dogs with anxiety.
