What Reviews Say

276 reviews analyzed

Seattle Canine Club - SoDo is overwhelmingly beloved by customers with 97% five-star reviews. The facility excels in staff friendliness, communication, and dog happiness - dogs are consistently described as excited to arrive and exhausted (happily) when picked up. There are notable red flags including two serious safety incidents (a dog breaking a foot from a crate fall and another with an unnoticed infected eye wound), plus one grooming injury case. However, these appear to be rare exceptions to otherwise excellent service. The main complaints are limited outdoor space (all indoor facility) and occasional grooming inconsistencies. The owner Jose is highly responsive and professional, with many customers praising his personalized care and years of dedicated service. This is clearly a trusted community institution with many multi-year customers.

Worth noting

Dog injured from fall in crate - broken foot requiring surgery

โ€œMy 3 pound pom, Jam, fell from being placed in a second tier crate and was not secured when the crate was open resulting in a broken foot.โ€

Dog returned with infected wound around eye that staff failed to notice

โ€œOnce my mom got to the car and started driving home, she noticed an open wound/scabbing around the left eye... At no point during her stay or during pick up did any staff alert me or my mom about this wound.โ€

Grooming injuries - razor burns and eye irritation

โ€œAfter grooming, my dog left with a lot of razor burns and a bloodied eye.โ€

Facility smell and lack of outdoor space

โ€œNo outdoor space for the dogs, smelt like urine when I walked in.โ€

Grooming service inconsistency(2 mentions)

โ€œDaycare and boarding services are great. Grooming services not so much.โ€

Lack of outdoor space(2 mentions)

โ€œIt is an all indoor facility, so he does come home a bit smelly... no windows, small indoor area, on a pinchโ€
