What Reviews Say
72 reviews analyzedWagland Kennel presents a polarized reputation with approximately 70% of reviews being 5-star and praising the caring staff, excellent communication, happy dogs, and affordable pricing. However, serious red flags emerge in negative reviews: multiple dogs returning with flea infestations, injuries, and severe gastrointestinal illnesses requiring vet care. Communication issues and occasional rude staff interactions are recurring complaints. The owners are highly responsive to reviews, responding to nearly all feedback professionally. While most dogs clearly receive excellent care and love their stays, the safety incidents and sanitation issues in a minority of reviews are concerning and suggest inconsistent quality control.
