What Reviews Say
252 reviews analyzedSandy Oaks Kennel receives overwhelmingly positive reviews with dogs consistently described as happy, tired, and excited to return. The staff receives exceptional praise for genuine love and care, and the facility's outdoor pond and play areas are major highlights. However, there are serious red flags: two reviews detail significant issues - one dog was isolated for two weeks without proper socialization despite paid services, and another suffered an infected wound that owners weren't informed about for days. These communication and transparency issues, while not common, are severe. The vast majority of customers are repeat visitors who appreciate the quality care and reasonable pricing.

Worth noting
Dog injured during stay, wound became severely infected, owners not informed for 3 days and staff downplayed the severity
โAt the vet he mentioned how the wound is 'severely infected' and he needed urgent treatment, antibiotics, etc. Why did they downplay the wound? did they even washed it or looked at it?โ
Dog isolated for entire 2-week stay, not socialized despite promises of report cards and temperament test
โIt wasn't until I picked him up that I learned he had been isolated and not socialized a single time during his entire stay.โ
Long-time customer (5+ years) refused future service over fee dispute
โAfter 5 years of using their services we were refused future service following a misunderstanding regarding an extra fee for dropping off before 10am. No respect for loyalty!!โ
Lack of transparency about services(2 mentions)
โThere was a serious lack of transparency and follow-through. I trusted this kennel with my dog and feel misled about the services provided.โ
Communication gaps about dog welfare(2 mentions)
โWhy didn't they call or anything on Friday or even Saturday?, why they waited 3 days to tell us something?โ
Pond/amenity availability not as advertised
โThey also advertise a pond for dogs to play in... it was disappointing to learn it was 'closed' during his stay, especially since it is promoted as a feature of their facility.โ
