What Reviews Say

96 reviews analyzed

Pueblo West Boarding Kennels is a polarizing, budget-friendly facility that long-term regulars praise for its 'no-frills' family atmosphere and breed-blind acceptance. However, a significant cluster of reviews reports catastrophic safety failures, including pet deaths, severe lacerations from chain-link fencing, and extreme dehydration. While the owners are often described as kind individuals, the physical infrastructure is frequently compared to a low-end animal shelter with serious maintenance hazards.

Worth noting

Pet fatality due to escape/attack

β€œMy dog DIED here on the first day we boarded him... a much larger dog pulled the fence up on it s own kennel and killed my dog!”

Severe physical injuries/Medical neglect

β€œMy dog left this facility with a paw injury so gruesome an experienced ER vet gasped in shock... nearly 2 months and thousands of dollars in care later.”

Dehydration and lack of basic care

β€œNo water was given to our dogs. After 3 days they had trouble urinating and drank over half a gallon of water each.”

Poor facility infrastructure(6 mentions)

β€œThe accommodations are more akin to a low budget animal control shelter... cheap chain link fence with sharp tie wires facing inside.”

Unresponsive communication/Appointment issues(7 mentions)

β€œThe owners were not responsive and ignored their texts and calls... they tried to tell her there was no appointment scheduled.”

Sanitation (Feces/Urine)(4 mentions)

β€œDogs bedding were covered in feces... the bed and blanket that we brought from home smelled like pee.”
