What Reviews Say
77 reviews analyzedPoochies is highly regarded for its passionate staff and expansive, clean facilities, with many owners noting their dogs are visibly excited to arrive. The facility excels in socialization and boarding, frequently leaving dogs 'exhausted' from play in their large 2-acre yard. While overwhelmingly positive, there is a significant concern regarding communication during illness outbreaks (Kennel Cough) and occasional mentions of dogs needing baths after play.

Worth noting
Outbreak of Kennel Cough and lack of prior notification
“The morning I drop him off, they told me that they have few cases of kennel cough... The common sense would have been to inform me about the situation prior to the boarding date!”
Dogs returning dirty
“The dog loves this place but he always comes out requiring a full bath and grooming. This adds a hundred to the already sizeable bill.”
