What Reviews Say

36 reviews analyzed

The Happy Dog Inn is highly regarded for its purpose-built facility, spacious outdoor play areas, and structured environment that leaves dogs 'worn out' and happy. While the vast majority of clients praise the staff as 'dog whisperers' and treat the facility as a second home, there are isolated but serious complaints regarding the owner's temperament and one specific report of an injury. Overall, it maintains a loyal base of long-term repeat customers who value the 24/7 supervision and professional care.

Worth noting

Alleged medical neglect and injury upon pickup

“I picked up my dogs and my dog had bloody eyelids and bumps under his eye as well as a swollen muzzle. The owner said he didn't notice it and never apologized.”

Feeding protocol concerns (canned food to speed up eating)

“Indicated that he feeds dog 'canned food' to get them to 'eat faster'. Obviously this guy has never heard of bloat.”

Owner's personality/attitude(2 mentions)

“The owner Tom is a very rude person i do not recommend this place to anyone.”

Inconvenient scheduling

“The pickup and drop off times are at times inconvenient but their explanations make good sense.”
