What Reviews Say

28 reviews analyzed

Prairielands Kennel receives generally positive feedback for its daycare and grooming services, with many owners noting their dogs return happy and well-socialized. However, there are notable concerns regarding the facility's handling of senior or high-anxiety dogs, with some owners reporting high stress levels and poor communication. While the staff is frequently described as kind and professional, the lack of owner engagement with negative reviews suggests a potential gap in customer service resolution.
