What Reviews Say

343 reviews analyzed

Pet Paradise Lakewood Ranch receives predominantly positive reviews (approximately 78% are 5-star) with strong praise for friendly staff, clean facilities, and happy dogs who love returning. However, significant concerns exist around communication (many report unreachable staff and missed updates), pet health incidents (dogs returning sick with kennel cough or bacterial infections), and service delivery failures (dogs not receiving promised day camp time or proper feeding). The facility maintains an excellent owner response rate with professional, warm replies to both positive and negative reviews. Repeat customers are common, with many using the facility for years, though some negative reviews cite pricing confusion and grooming quality issues.
