What Reviews Say
18 reviews analyzedThis facility shows a stark divide between satisfied customers (10 five-star reviews) and dissatisfied ones (6 one-star reviews). Positive reviews praise the clean facilities, friendly owners, and happy dogs. However, serious concerns emerge from negative reviews: dogs returning dehydrated/soiled, poor communication, and owners responding defensively to criticism by blaming customers (e.g., claiming dogs aren't housebroken). The owner responds to every review but often in a defensive manner that blames customers for issues rather than accepting responsibility. The pattern of dogs coming back in poor condition is a significant red flag despite the majority positive reviews.
