What Reviews Say

163 reviews analyzed

The Ranch Pet Resort & Spa is highly regarded for its clean, recently renovated facility and unique amenities like the doggie water park. While most customers report happy, exhausted dogs and praise the friendly staff, there are recurring concerns regarding communication gaps and strict pickup policies. A small but notable number of negative reviews highlight significant weight loss or minor health issues after long boarding stays, though management appears proactive in addressing these via detailed public responses.

Worth noting

Significant weight loss during boarding

β€œWhen we picked up our dog after being with them for a week, he had lost about 10 lbs.”

Health issues post-stay (Infections/Kennel Cough)

β€œMy healthy 2 year poor golden retriever came back with red, itchy paws, bad ear bacterial infection that costed me $400.”

Lack of visual updates/cameras(5 mentions)

β€œThe only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the updates... It would have been better if I had been able to hear how she interacted with the other dogs.”

Strict/Limited Hours(3 mentions)

β€œHad to miss a flight and lost hundreds of dollars because the three children working in there would not allow me to take my dog [after hours].”

Discrepancy in 'All Day Play' expectations(3 mentions)

β€œ'All day play' advertised online for daycare = 2x 1 hour sessions of play and the rest of the day in a kennel.”
