What Reviews Say

Sunchaser Kennels enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews with 95% of customers giving 4-5 stars. The facility is praised for its clean environment, exceptionally friendly and caring staff, fair pricing, and excellent communication including photo updates. Many customers are long-term repeat clients who appreciate the indoor/outdoor kennels and the staff's ability to handle nervous or aggressive dogs.

The 1-star reviews highlight significant communication failures during incidents and disputes over medical diagnoses.
