What Reviews Say

186 reviews analyzed

Sea Paws Dog Resort is highly regarded as a premier destination for both local and vacationing dog owners, frequently praised for its spacious outdoor play areas and the staff's genuine affection for the animals. While the vast majority of guests appreciate the daily photo updates and 'report cards,' a small number of negative reviews highlight concerns regarding dogs returning dirty or ill after boarding. Overall, the facility maintains an exceptional reputation for high-energy socialization and attentive care for special needs pets.

Worth noting

Injuries/Bite marks during stay

“right away we knew something was wrong when we saw the bite marks on her neck an back legs... I don't think play marks should bleed”

Unprofessional/Disturbing staff communication regarding euthanasia

“The lady proceeded to tell me that if she were to scratch or bite someone... they would then euthanize my dog and 'chop her head off.'”

Dogs returning dirty/smelly

“When we picked her up she was filthy dirty, smelly, scared to death”

Lack of transparency regarding kennel tours

“told by the owner that pet owners are not allowed to see the kennel area... This sounds suspect”

Post-boarding illness/lethargy

“he’s been home for three days and still no energy and his legs shake when he walks.”
