What Reviews Say

26 reviews analyzed

Rocky Canyon Kennels is highly regarded for its compassionate care, particularly for senior dogs and those with special medical or behavioral needs. While the facility's aesthetic was noted by one reviewer as looking like a 'prison yard' in photos, the actual experience is overwhelmingly positive, with dogs showing genuine excitement upon arrival. Potential clients should be aware of reported difficulties with initial phone inquiries and a specific policy against socializing Pit Bull mixes.

Worth noting

Breed discrimination (Pit Bull mix)

“just to learn at drop off that they won't socialize a pit bull mix at all. Very disappointed to have a discriminatory kennel in town.”

Communication/Booking Difficulty(2 mentions)

“Called multiple times, no answer. Finally someone answered and said she was too busy to answer question.”
