What Reviews Say
196 reviews analyzedPurr'n Pooch Pet Resort enjoys a predominantly positive reputation with 85% of reviews being 4-5 stars. The facility excels in dog happiness, staff caring behavior, and senior dog care. However, significant concerns exist around communication (particularly lack of proactive updates), several safety incidents including injuries during boarding/grooming, and occasional billing disputes. Long-term customers (some for 10+ years) are generally loyal, though a few express disappointment with recent service quality changes. The owner responds professionally to about 18% of reviews, typically within one day.

Worth noting

Dog returned with infected cuts and scratches
โBrought my dog to boarding school and he came back with an infected cut on his nose and scratched all over his body.โ
Dog required emergency vet care after boarding ($1400)
โWhen I picked her up the dog looked miserable needless to say I had to bring her to the emergency room and leave her overnight because she wouldn't eat or poop $1400 later she was back to normal.โ
Grooming injury - burn/cut on dog's private area
โWe got her back and she can't stop licking herself. we noticed that she has a burn/cut on her lady part.โ
Cat whiskers mutilated during grooming
โMy poor cat got her whiskers mutilated during grooming haircutโ
Kennel cough outbreak despite vaccinations
โHe has never been sick until I took him home from there. He was fully vaccinated including the boratella shot. I guess they must be extremely dirty for dogs to come home sick.โ
