What Reviews Say
128 reviews analyzedThe Pet Lodge is highly regarded by long-term clients for its affordable boarding and caring environment, particularly for anxious dogs who 'perk up' upon arrival. While the majority of feedback is glowing, there are significant recurring concerns regarding grooming safety, with multiple reports of dogs returning with cuts or smelling of urine. Potential customers should appreciate the transparency of their facility tours but may want to exercise caution regarding grooming services and 'hidden' add-on fees.
