What Reviews Say
43 reviews analyzedVillage Way Kennels enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews with 37 of 43 reviews giving 5 stars. Customers praise the caring staff, low turnover, and genuine love for animals. Multiple long-term customers (10+ years) highlight the consistent quality. However, 3 negative reviews (1-2 stars) raise serious concerns about animal safety and communication: one dog was injured and owner received no reimbursement, another was returned covered in feces, and a third had untreated medical issues. These isolated but severe incidents are offset by the facility's many loyal customers who appreciate the reasonable prices and excellent dog happiness scores.

Worth noting
Dog injured while boarding, owner denied reimbursement for vet bills
โMy dog was hurt while being boarded which cost me 180 dollars for vet fee, my boarding fee was 280. Now I've been boarding my dog for the past 15 years never any problem now I'm asking that they the vet bill of 180. And I'm getting a run around with Dr. Beeson who's the owner.โ
Dog returned in unsanitary condition
โOur dog stayed here for three days, and not only was he extremely skittish when we got him, but he was also covered in his own crap.โ
Dog returned with medical issues requiring vet care
โWhen we picked her up, we were not told of any problems that she had while there. When we got her home, we noticed that she could not sit and she had licked her bottom until it was bright red and she had licked all the hair off. We had to take her to the vet and she had impacted anal glands.โ
Open cage accommodations not suitable
โthe accommodations for the dogs to stay in was open cages and not what we was looking for.โ
Poor communication about issues/medical treatments(2 mentions)
โI wonder why they have to have our cell phone number if they don't call.โ
Billing disputes and unresponsiveness
โI'm getting a run around with Dr. Beeson who's the owner. He said the check is in the mail, that was in August.โ
