What Reviews Say

125 reviews analyzed

The Pup Stop enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews (82% 5-star) with exceptional praise for staff friendliness, genuine love for animals, and excellent communication including daily photo updates. While the facility is praised for cleanliness and reasonable pricing, there are notable red flags including a theft allegation regarding a missing collar tag and a concerning defensive owner response that escalated to threats of police involvement. The majority of customers are loyal long-term patrons who specifically recommend staff members Joni, Curtis, and Jayme.

Worth noting

Missing collar tag - staff removed dog's custom metal collar tag during boarding stay and did not return it or offer compensation

โ€œWhen I picked up my dog was missing a custom metal Collar Tag... They removed their whole collars during the stay so where ever they put them someone had to have taken it. They have a thief.โ€

Muzzling incident - dog muzzled without proper explanation or prior history of aggression

โ€œWhen the girl went to do my 21-pound dog's nails, she put a muzzle on her, which has never been done before and she didn't explain why she was doing it now.โ€

Defensive owner response to negative review escalated to threats of police involvement

โ€œThe response from the owner came in the form of an attack on my character... We definitely do not want to do business with people like you... ***Update*** Stop calling us! We will not take your abuse. We have blocked you. If you keep showing up we will have the police escort you out.โ€

Grooming scope confusion - basic bath did not include dematting/trimming around face

โ€œGreat people really nice but when I picked up my puppy her hair was still matted around her face and I really didn't know that they wouldn't even clip the hair from her eyesโ€

Spay/neuter requirement for daycare

โ€œVery nice people and I wanted a dog daycare but they have to be spayed and neutered and mine is not ๐Ÿ˜ญโ€

Saturday hours - not open for grooming on Saturdays

โ€œPup Stop is not open Saturdays for groomingโ€
