What Reviews Say

34 reviews analyzed

River Pet Resort & Rehab receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its caring staff, clean environment, grooming, and rehabilitation services. Many customers highlight Dr. Zelinski, Esty, Frank, Sam, Samantha, and Pascal for exceptional care. Dogs appear happy and excited to return. However, there are notable red flags: no facility tours allowed, a vet blamed a customer for a travel paperwork issue, alleged breed discrimination against pitbull-type dogs, and unsafe driving near the facility. A few reviews express distrust or poor experiences. Overall, the facility is highly regarded for attentive service and amenities like a swimming pool, but transparency and customer service issues may deter some owners.
