What Reviews Say
80 reviews analyzedThe Dog Chalet is a highly polarizing facility that serves as a convenient drop-off point for tourists visiting nearby ski resorts, with many praising the friendly staff and 'tired' dogs. However, a significant number of reviews detail catastrophic safety failures, including a dog's death from an unnoticed attack, severe understaffing, and the use of non-employees to supervise animals. While regular daycare users seem satisfied, the facility faces serious allegations of negligence, lack of overnight supervision, and poor sanitation.

Billing and pricing disputes(3 mentions)
“Beware of their misleading pricing... owner Kelly hung up on me when I asked her to explain why she charged me for services I didn't use.”
