What Reviews Say

38 reviews analyzed

River Run Kennels is highly regarded for its spacious, wooded setting and the genuine affection staff show toward the dogs, with many owners noting their pets are excited to arrive. While the majority of feedback is glowing, there are isolated but serious concerns regarding hygiene (soiled bedding) and unnoticed physical injuries. Overall, it is a popular choice for active dogs and reactive breeds due to the personalized care and frequent video updates provided via social media.

Worth noting

Unnoticed physical injuries (tail/mouth)

“Took him to the vet to find out his tail was caught in something or door slammed on it and a good chunk of his tail was cut.”

Sanitation and hygiene of bedding

“One dog had some sores and bumps probably from sleeping on the dirty pillow for 7+ days. We could tell the pillow was soiled the moment they were handed to us from the ammonia smell.”

Hygiene/Bedding maintenance

“Even if they didn't want to wash it, they could have removed it from their space...”

Booking availability

“Tough to get booking over the summer”
