What Reviews Say

281 reviews analyzed

Toureen Pet Resort and Spa enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews with a loyal customer base spanning decades. The staff receives consistent praise for warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for pets. However, there are serious red flags including multiple reports of dogs contracting kennel cough without notification, a broken leg incident, grooming injuries, and pricing complaints. The facility excels in dog happiness and cleanliness but faces criticism for communication around health issues and value for money. The owner responds to all reviews professionally and promptly.

Worth noting

Puppy broke leg due to lack of supervision - required surgery

โ€œHe was left UNSUPERVISED all by himself and broke his leg and needed surgery. They even had video proof!โ€

Dog sent home with wrong person, later got sick

โ€œThey apparently sent him home with another person and tried to give us some one elseโ€™s dog when we returned for pick up.โ€

Dog bitten by another dog at daycare, needed medical attention

โ€œMy dog was bit (by a pitbull) while at daycare, and needed immediate medical attention.โ€

Grooming injury - dog stabbed in eye with shears

โ€œLast time they stabbed him in the eye with shears! Thankfully there is a vet right next door and they gave him some stitchesโ€

Multiple reports of dogs contracting kennel cough without notification

โ€œOur dog was given back to me with a hoarse voice and profuse coughing... deliberately not being proactive at informing the ownersโ€

Pricing - considered expensive or overpriced(8 mentions)

โ€œIt cost 200 dollars to board my dog for two nights... It's highway robberyโ€

Kennel cough/illnesses contracted at facility(7 mentions)

โ€œWhen I picked him up, the staff told me he had diarrhea... He also has not stopped coughing and wheezing profusely!โ€

Grooming quality inconsistent(5 mentions)

โ€œThe quality is all over the place... he may be returned... a terrified and haphazardly-hacked up mess - even complete with nicks and cuts on two occasionsโ€

Lack of communication about health issues(5 mentions)

โ€œWe weren't informed of her picking this up. We would have appreciated a bit of notice confirming this.โ€

Old dogs not properly cared for(2 mentions)

โ€œOur 16 year old stayed for a week last June and never fully recovered from the experience. Doogal had sores on his legs from sitting in waterโ€
