What Reviews Say

91 reviews analyzed

Westmorland Pet Retreat is overwhelmingly praised for its spacious, clean facility and the owner's expertise as a vet tech, with many clients reporting their dogs return home happy and well-exercised. While the vast majority of feedback is glowing, particularly regarding grooming and long-term boarding, there are a few serious outliers involving a pet death and behavioral trauma that contrast sharply with the general consensus. Overall, it is viewed as a high-value, professional retreat with a strong loyal following of repeat customers.
