What Reviews Say

95 reviews analyzed

Tyson Kennels is a long-standing family business with a deeply loyal customer base that praises the staff's expertise and genuine love for animals. However, the facility faces significant friction with neighbors regarding 24/7 barking noise, and a small number of reviews raise serious concerns about health and supervision. While regular clients view it as a trusted 'second home,' new observers and neighbors describe the environment as high-stress.

Worth noting

Allegations of neglect and physical injury

The bleeding gouge near his eye... was described to me by the manager over the phone as a 'small scratch'. They told me they had no idea how it happened.

Health concerns (Kennel Cough/Weight Loss)

The final straw was Marley getting Kennel Cough. He was so sick that he lost 15 pounds and I thought my dog was going to die.

Staff disengagement on livestreams

The videos show a disengaged individual on their phone, not interacting with the dog, or taking a nap.

Excessive 24/7 Barking(15 mentions)

The dogs outside are barking 24/7... they sound super aggressive and I would not want my dog anywhere near there.

Noise complaints from neighbors(8 mentions)

Recently moved in near this place and like many people have said, barking at all hours…especially during the day.
