What Reviews Say
57 reviews analyzedRidge Kennels is highly regarded for its cleanliness, spacious indoor/outdoor runs, and exceptional value for money, with many long-term repeat customers. However, the facility faces serious allegations regarding a medical emergency involving a deceased pet and subsequent illness in other dogs from the same household. While most users praise the professional staff, some note administrative inefficiencies due to a paper-based filing system and strict policies regarding dog behavior and medical conditions at drop-off.
