What Reviews Say

59 reviews analyzed

Prince Frederick Kennels enjoys strong customer loyalty with many long-term clients praising the friendly staff, excellent grooming (especially Lori), and happy dogs that eagerly return. However, significant red flags include kennel cough outbreaks suggesting sanitation issues, a hygiene incident with a dog left in neglect, large dog discrimination, and billing disputes. The facility scores well on dog happiness and staff friendliness but faces concerns around safety protocols and inconsistent policies that may drive away some customers.

Worth noting

Kennel cough outbreak - dogs contracted illness while boarding

My dog got kennel cough here... Verified by our vet which cost $360.

Severe hygiene neglect - dog left with dried diarrhea

Our Shih Tzu had dried diarrhea all over his rear. His butt was very inflamed/red and it was obvious that he was left in this condition for some time.

Dog appeared neglected/overly sedated after boarding

My pet literally looked as if he had been in solitary confinement for 2 weeks when he was picked up.

Large dog discrimination - refused service based on breed/size

They are not equipped with knowledgeable staff to be able to handle a large dog breed.

Refund policy - no early checkout refunds

If you pay for two weeks and pick them up the next day because your plans change they won't refund you a penny.

Billing/pricing issues - charged more than quoted

Quoted one price... Actual charge was nearly twice the quote.

Inconsistent staff behavior/policies(2 mentions)

Policy on how often the dogs get played with and let out varied among staff.

Owner/staff rudeness(2 mentions)

Owner was extremely rude and demanded a meet and greet.
