What Reviews Say
136 reviews analyzedThe Dog Club enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews with a 4.6 average rating, driven by caring staff who genuinely love dogs and excellent value for money. However, serious concerns emerge in negative reviews about disease outbreaks (kennel cough, CIRDC), dogs returning filthy or injured, and communication failures around incidents. The facility appears to have improved under new ownership, with many long-term loyal customers praising the consistent quality. The owner responds to nearly all reviews professionally, though occasionally defensively when addressing serious allegations.
