What Reviews Say
157 reviews analyzedPreston Country Club For Pets enjoys strong customer loyalty with many long-term clients praising the caring staff, clean facilities, and happy dogs. However, serious concerns emerge around safety incidents including multiple cases of dogs contracting pneumonia, pets returning severely underweight, and unsanitary conditions. The breed discrimination policy against pit bulls generates significant negative feedback. While most reviews are positive (5-star ratings dominate), the high-severity health and neglect complaints represent meaningful red flags that prospective customers should weigh carefully.

Worth noting
Dogs contracting serious illness (pneumonia) while boarding requiring expensive vet treatment
โOur dog came home sick after boarding, ended up with pneumonia and in puppy ICU. It cost us over $12,500 to save our dogs life.โ
Dogs returning severely underweight/neglected after stays
โHe looked like death.. bones was sticking out of every part of his body.. it's like they starved my dog and said nothing to me.โ
Unsanitary cage conditions causing pets to sit in urine
โHer entire cage was horrendously dirty and poor condition... She was clearly spending a majority of time in her cage to the point she was sitting and laying in her own pee.โ
