What Reviews Say
10 reviews analyzedSummerwind Kennels presents a polarizing experience where long-term or repeat clients praise the owner's 'way with dogs' and the outdoor exercise provided. However, multiple critical reviews raise serious concerns regarding the facility's hygiene, specifically citing a pervasive urine smell and dark, 'dungeon-like' conditions. Prospective clients should be aware of reports regarding a lack of air conditioning during extreme heat and rigid billing practices even when services are declined upon arrival.
