What Reviews Say

259 reviews analyzed

The Ranch Pet Care is exceptionally well-regarded, particularly for its ability to make dogs feel at home, with numerous owners reporting their pets 'drag them through the door' in excitement. The facility stands out for its specialized amenities like the tennis court, pool, and 'Bark and Ride' shuttle service, as well as its high level of care for anxious or rescue animals. While there are isolated complaints regarding facility odor and one serious allegation of breed bias, the overwhelming consensus describes a trustworthy, professional, and loving environment.

Worth noting

Alleged breed discrimination and lack of socialization

“The owner basically admitted that it's because he doesn't like the breed. We recently picked our dog up and noticed that he was soaked all around his neck... owner defensively answered 'well is it blood?'”

Odor/Cleanliness(2 mentions)

“Smells dirty, no grass to play on. Didn't look like a nice place.”

Communication/Booking difficulty(2 mentions)

“Took a few days to get a hold of someone. Felt very brushed off when trying to come in to book a tour.”
