What Reviews Say
303 reviews analyzedSmart Dog Dallas is a highly-regarded facility where dogs are visibly excited to attend, often returning home 'exhausted' from play. The grooming department, specifically mentions of Pamela and Amber, receives near-universal acclaim for quality and pricing. While the majority of experiences are stellar, there are significant isolated reports of communication breakdowns in the training program and a serious feeding/medication error during a boarding stay, though the owner is noted for being highly responsive and taking accountability for mistakes.

Worth noting
Medical and feeding neglect during boarding
“He clearly had only been fed a half-portion of his food for his entire stay, meaning he missed half of his antibiotic regimen as well. My dog also appeared like he had lost a NOTICEABLE amount of weight.”
Total lack of communication/supervision in training program
“I left my dog, Luca, for a two-week training program and received absolutely no updates... only to learn that Laura had actually been out sick and hadn't been there at all.”
Communication gaps(4 mentions)
“Over the course of 3 weeks I called several times and sent at least 3 emails to try to get a response that went unanswered.”
Lack of webcams(3 mentions)
“My only wish is that there were cameras so I could check in during the day or when out of town.”
Grooming inconsistencies(2 mentions)
“It truly looked like little to no hair had been taken off when I had asked for a full outline trim.”
