What Reviews Say
161 reviews analyzedSendaishi Pet Resort has a polarized reputation with a majority of 5-star reviews praising their caring staff, clean facility, and excellent dog happiness, particularly for long-term customers. However, serious red flags emerge: multiple incidents of dogs being injured on premises (including one fatality from bloat and another from a dog fight), medication administration errors, and a dog given to the wrong owner. The owner frequently responds defensively to negative reviews, sometimes with dismissive or argumentative tones. While many pets thrive there and the facility has saved at least one dog from bloat through vigilant monitoring, the safety incidents and pattern of staff rudeness in negative reviews suggest significant quality control issues that prospective customers should carefully consider.
