What Reviews Say

36 reviews analyzed

The facility receives high praise for its grooming services, training expertise, and as a venue for dog shows, with many customers specifically commending Ken's knowledge. However, there is a stark contrast between these positive experiences and serious allegations of animal neglect/injury during boarding and poor administrative communication. Potential clients should weigh the excellent grooming reputation against significant red flags regarding boarding safety and unresponsive management.

Worth noting

Physical injuries and behavioral changes after boarding

β€œboth of their faces were scratched up pretty bad, one had a hole completely through his ear and they had tears inside their mouths that were bleeding. They are acting scared and timid.”

Unresponsive management regarding injuries/property damage

β€œI cannot reach the owners to find out what happened... after they damaged all of my Tesla center caps and then lost one, they still have not replaced them.”

Communication and Phone Responsiveness(3 mentions)

β€œIt was difficult to even get scheduled since no one answers the phone or returns voicemails.”

Parking and Accessibility(3 mentions)

β€œA thousand cars in the very small lot in front of a house... You literally can't even park.”

Strict/Archaic Documentation Requirements

β€œshe told him they would not take them because we did not have the actual rabies certificate.”
