What Reviews Say

46 reviews analyzed

Wagmore Kennels is highly regarded by local regulars and visiting skiers alike, with numerous reviews highlighting that dogs return home 'happy and exhausted.' The facility is praised for its cleanliness and the staff's genuine love for animals, evidenced by a touching account of a senior dog's passing in their care. However, a notable conflict exists regarding their suitability for timid dogs, with the owner taking a firm, somewhat defensive stance on only accepting well-socialized pets.

Worth noting

Alleged rough handling of a timid dog

Your staff of teenagers absolutely draged and forced our pup with no attempt to gain trust.
